    Aidan Baker

    Really enjoying his work as part of Nadja, and boomkat mentions something about his "shoegaze explorations" in one of their reviews. His output according to discogs is fairly prolific: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Aidan+Baker anyone have any pointers?

    Steampunk

    Just reading children's author Philip Reeve's book "Mortal Engines", about giant moving cities which eat each other, which has a bit of a steampunk feel. And I realise that while I think I know what steampunk is, I can't ever recall reading a single book that I'd consider steampunk. What are...

    Flying Ant Day

    I was in the Yorkshire dales on the 29th August and it seemed like flying ant day then... maybe it varies with latitude/climate?

    Hipsters: Scourge or Irrelevence

    I know several fixed gear people who are definitely not hipsters. It's a bike nerd thing, something hipsters have got hold of via courier culture. I don't know what it's like in the states, but in London you saw couriers riding fixed gear bikes years before it was generally a "cool" thing to do...

    Your preferred digital DJ system and why

    ^ Someone I work with uses that M-Audio controller with Ableton for live stuff, including controlling live vocal processing via Ableton, and says he really likes it. I've always thought it looked a bit clunky myself. The new Novation controller, the Nocturn, looks pretty nice too...

    Stephen Merritt

    The new album "Distortion" is indeed covered in feedback, I think on every instrument and every voice has some element of it. I don't think it totally works - when I saw them play the new songs live, acoustic and totally sans feedback of any kind, then the songwriting really shone through...

    Stephen Merritt

    Stephin Merritt Is I think my favourite songwriter... I only discovered The Magnetic Fields four or five years ago, and just got hold of the Future Bible Heroes record "Eternal Youth" today, which is absolutely blowing me away on first listen. I've no idea why it took me so long to get it...

    Batman

    I saw the new Batman at the weekend... it's good, but too long, and doesn't really have a pleasant story arc - a series of explosive, climatic sequences without the story as a whole reaching a proper climax. I think if you're a Batman fan and know the canon, you'll probably enjoy it more than...
