AFAIK, the scene has sorted itself out bit since the dark days of 2007 when I posted the comments above as Dubversion. I think the ket has died off, being replaced by meph until recently, and that seems to have led to an increase in the energy and general happiness of the vibe. I think crews...

just got back from DJing at a gig by a gig called Austin Lucas. an INCREDIBLE performance. I guess it's sort of country / folk - just a guy and his guitar - but intense and lyrical and unique..

Jesus, why? Marks is a tiresome bore and his book lives down to that. I've cracked the spine of the Complete JG Ballard short stories, after enjoying - in a daft way - The Man Who Was Thursday

fantastic band called Frontier Ruckus crashed here after their Brixton gig on Wednesday. So they gave me their new album, Dead Malls and Nightfalls - absolutely gorgeous. I guess it's a more bluegrass / folky take on Neutral Milk Hotel (saws and trumpets and dobros). So I'm enjoying that, but...

another worthwhile festival gets brought down by police / licensing intransigency and bullshit :( http://www.gladefestival.com/news/?p=72

i'm now enjoying the chant I made up in my head watching Boredoms tonight at the Forum. Just astonishing. Truly joyful, uplifting, special...

A fantastic 15-CD set of old R&B compilations running from 1945-1960. from Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Bobby Bland, for example. Just awesome, might be the best series of chronological comps I've come across. I've also got hold of a bootleg of last Sunday's Stooges show at Hammersmith which is...

it'll look lovely on the wall facing my genuine (genyuwine?) steers skull, 5ft horn tip to horn tip, which I bought off a guy in New Mexico. He drives round the desert, finds them, cleans them up and sells them on ebay to wannabe rednecks in South London. ;)

greatest piece of guitar playing ever, no question :)

last time I did it I flew into Cork, hired a car and worked my way down the west coast. You can't go wrong really, it's just astonishing. Although Dingle Bay is probably one to avoid because of all the dolphin botherers. Sheep's Head Peninsula in particular is just breathtaking. And we drove -...

I recently bought a stuffed and mounted jackalope off ebay from a man in Montana. Indeed, it's a Montana Snarling Jackalope due to its particularly aggressive demeanour. The jackalope hunter wanted an insane amount of money to ship to London so it's currently at my friend's house in Phoenix...

even more expensive than the Roland. it does say "CHEAPO" sampler recommendations :D

GK Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday which is pretty entertaining and nicely paranoid and has some wonderfully florid descriptions of "anarchists". And about to read Geoff Dyer's The Ongoing Moment alongside it. Not exactly a photography buff but I love everything of Dyer's I've ever read...

i'd be tempted if i wasn't skint and didn't already have something that'll probably do the job.. the 404 does look ace though

right, this is a bit embarassing, just asked a techy mate of mine about the SU10 and he reminded me that he gave me one last time I explored this sort of thing, about 8 years ago. It's in a box in the corner alongside my Kaos pad and Disciples-made siren box. :o

:p

does look great but it's the wrong end of £250, whereas I have a fraction of that to spend. Overkill just to drop some samples, I think... I've seen a couple of the Yamahas for about £20

actually, that looks pretty spot on, cheers - sample length might be a bit limited but I can work with it :) cheers

and something nice and portable / compact too - not a full size studio / rackmount jobby. God, I wish I'd taken more care on the original post :D

to clarify - not looking to sample and loop on the fly; just want to be able to punch in a library of samples I have.
