Love Abba, by the way. Marvel at Abba.

That sounds great - thanks for mentioning it! Have been having a D.H. Lawrence Christmas. Frankly, my mind is blown.

This is so nice: http://www.factmag.com/2013/12/14/burial-opens-up-a-little-about-new-ep-rival-dealer/

This beats Burial for my money.

Pointless but it makes me glad I don't live in Norway:

Or a true budget interior decorator...

Sorry - couldn't resist. As you were.

I have an MA in English Literature so I know about this shit (true dat but deployed in a tongue-in-cheek manner here, etc.): 1) Every era of literature had people who garnered critical respect and/or the vote of the buying/theatre-attending public. 2) Many of them are completely unknown now...

Re: 2013, I loved Open by The Necks and I listened to the new Boards of Canada LP today for the first time and was hugely impressed.

I think I have a fairly good grasp of the whole thing so ask away. The best way to get there is re-reading, though. It's kind of the intention. I'm generally heartbroken when I get to the end of a good book, so you may be pleased to hear there are three sequels, two of which are also...

That is my favourite book (I do think of it as one book) of all time next to Moby Dick.

I bought a Walkman WM-EX510 in 1996 or something and it was just amazing: top of the line and sounded great. Plus you could fast forward to the next gap which was great for official album tapes. One went on eBay the other week for 4 quid or something: insane. I'm a get another one.

Hahahaha

Yeah I have read a bunch of the Hainish cycle stuff and one or two others in the SF vein. I do like her in general (and Left Hand… especially was incredible), but I have to say that none of it had the effect on me that the Earthsea setting did. Must be a personal thing but those books, all of...

You make it sound like you've been peddling this conspiracy theory for years, so sorry to put you through the mill again… ;-) Actually, I'm not necessarily a sceptic here - obviously I have no idea what went on in the Wu camp behind the scenes, but it seems you're suggesting unfair...

Hello again. You are right about the change of pace but I actually loved that. The fourth became my favourite (just edging out the first one) and one of the things I love the most was the insane rhythm of the ending. It left me breathless. There is a fifth book which I thought was great too...

I love the chopped and screwed version on D.O.T.O.

The guy singing "This is 19 90 90 90 97" at the beginning cracks me up.

Thanks - you'll get a Wu Tang Forever playlist named in your honour for that.
