Ello - advice needed. I want to get hold of a cheap, basic, EASY sampler for use when I play out (just to drop some spoken word bits, film samples and stuff between or over tunes). So it doesn't have to be flash, and I'm fairly broke. Any recommendations? :D

Thanks, Liberals - You're Great!

Lamarr's anniversary show on Friday reminded me how great this is: and sent me tracking down more, including some Sun Ra covers... also, Misty's Big Adventure because the election is depressing me.

actually, don't worry - it seems that my problem was using shonky amateur apps. I've just "acquired" Adobe Premiere and while it's gonna take time to learn it all, it clearly does the job...

Problem 2: If I drop an .avi into Virtual Dub - say a 700mb rip of a 2 hour movie - and then crop out and resave a clip of about 30 seconds, how on earth is that clip about ending up about 200mb despite being a fraction of the length of the original file? What's being expanding, and how do I...

Ello - wanted to pick the brains of any movie-editing savvy posters. Please note: i'm NOT technical, don't have reams of software or processing power... Problem 1: Short summary: making a compilation movie to run as a backdrop at nights I run. So I've labouriously ripped appropriate scenes...

yeh, he's astonishing "in the moment". He's a real colonel too (some Kentucky honorary title). Apparently he didn't - and still doesn't - really get punk or noise, preferring country and gospel and blues and the like (and polkas!), but he likes the energy and the band kinda deal with that side...

the truly astonishing Legendary Shackshakers (Jello Biafra reckons they're the greatest live act in the world), now touting themselves as "agridustrial", which is spot on. Now featuring added Duane "jesus lizard" dennison

all seven hours of the farewell optimo mix getting constantly repeated, shonky mixing and all... Some old Dr John (blame Tremé) and an old Kling Klang album, Esthetik of Destruction. Totally underrated. What I'm NOT enjoying is the new Jamie Lidell album. I already lived through the 80s, I have...

i'm working through it now, i'm at about midnight :) they had some stuff on the website about the last night not being about nostalgia, only playing new bass sounds etc. Complete nonsense, I'm happy to say -it's like the best party set ever..

well, quite :) :)

ah, that stage has got it SEWN UP this year :cool:

I'd find it hard to believe there's NOTHING on the whole bill that appeals? Shangri La will be fun anyway - my mate's running the backstage bar so I should be playing up there at some point

full line-up for the Dance Village imminent - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=70792615901&ref=search&sid=725241059.2030398587..1&v=info Hyperdub and Bangface both hosting stages now, plus me. Every day :) :)

an ex of mine always wore her watch on her right wrist and finally admitted it's because Larry Mullen did in an old U2 poster she had (when quite young). Was only years later that she realised the poster was printed the wrong way round (some text gave it away) and he wore it on his left. Bless..

Searching For A Wrong-Eyed Jesus. A couple of southerners were annoyed by it, they thought it was a very British take on "the weird south" (the film makers were Brits) but I absolutely loved it. Harry Crews was ace, the acts appearing are wonderful, only David Johanssen is a bum note. And the...

a brilliant movie. The bit where Guy Piciotto sings from inside the basketball hoop especially. I think the way the movie is cut to the ambient-ish soundtrack rather than the songs being performed is a masterstroke...

Much as Ziggy was irritating in the Wire, he was great in Generation Kill :)

I adore my watch - a gift from about 6 years ago. It's even called a Roadie. :cool:
