Yes please! :)

Actually, yeah - banging on and on and on about it to all and sundry probably won't help that much. I was lucky enough to have one or two people I was able to talk to in confidence and at length, and talking to them was the trigger for a fuller recognition of what was going on in my head. Just...

Don't stop talking to people about it, and try and keep a good handle on the things you can control. I found that was what brought me out of a time when I felt so miserable that nothing really felt good (or bad) anymore. Things have always been a bit grim, of course. If it's not trans-global...

Billy Mackenzie! Yes... I quite like Dieter Meier, come to that.

Have you guys caught up on this yet? From www.publicaddress.net Meanwhile, geeks are buzzing over an extraordinary leak: six months' worth of internal emails from a company called MediaDefender, running to more than 6000 messages. MediaDefender works for major copyright interests, including...

That wiki entry is fantastic - I like the Bhutanese stamps! I like the duality of the things you find in runout grooves, the fact that they're both plainly obvious and cunningly hidden.

In the mood for Sunday morning eclectica, I just played New Order's Brotherhood, and noticed that in the runout groove with the pressing details and stuff, whoever was behind the press had written 'See an Old Soldier Right' on the a-side and 'More Juice Please' on the b-side. Throbbing Gristle's...

Ah, right. Should've used Occam's razor on that one.... Thanks Zhao :)

No, seriously! I'd really like to know...

What is my sleng teng? What does it mean when I'm under it?

Ummm...there's heaps! Here's a few that've hit the spot recently... Aaron Neville Colin from Wire Greg Lake with King Crimson Horace Andy Sugar Minnott Rosemary Clooney Edith Piaf my friend Helen, who sings with The LEDs

Springtime is always pretty inspiring for me. Joan Didion's The White Album came along for the right reasons at the right time about a week ago. After being kind of uninspired by the printed word for some time, that was amazing. The thought of moving to southern California next July from...

I'm kind of in the same boat, and after a bit of shopping around and checking stuff out, I've decided just to save up for a set of Technics SL1200's, instead of being carried away in a rush of enthusiasm and getting some almost-but-not-quite decks that I'm just gonna sell in six months. There...

Sweet mother of mercy, it's anecdotes like this that make me wish I lived in Europe...

I had something approaching a spiritual experience listening to John Tavener the other night. I'm very new to him, but keen to delve deeper based on the little I've heard. I don't have the name to hand, but I remember one piece with two voices weaving in and out of each other, slowly building...

I spend significant amounts of time outside - climbing, mountaineering and skiing - and have done for years. I'm pretty lucky to live in New Zealand, where the combination of active outdoorsiness and urbanity is much easier to pull off. The feeling of knowing I'm capable of moving competently...

Nice work! I'm really digging this... rTr
