    Saturn vs. Sirius

    I remembered reading something about this, so i went and checked back through John F. Szwed's biography of Sun Ra, Space Is The Place... There are four Stockhausen references in total, three of them are strictly contextual, but this section, dealing with the filming of Space Is The Place ...

    Thoughts, prompted by a tish John Peel biography

    I reckon he was more than just an obscurantist; you can criticise him for idiosyncrasy and even sentimentality but his picks were clearly things that interested him, even if he didn’t *like* them. He also remained as loyal to bands that got pretty big (Belle & Sebastian, Pulp, The White...

    The National Grid

    The almost invisible rhythms of everyday life. Great post – makes you nostalgic for Woeblog :) Not so much Urban as industrial, no? To someone like me LMY’s work always evokes giant suburban/rural power stations and lonely truckstops in the middle of nowhere; the edges of hi-tech civilization...

    Eno or Cale ??

    just in sheer listening hours it's got to be Eno for me (current listening Ambient 3 by Laaraji with minor Eno input - loveliness!!) that said i haven't delved into Cale's stuff to any significant degree.

    so it's antony and the jonsons then

    Why do they always choose a spaceship? They never win, it's just some stupid token thing. The judges are only really interested in food, but to be *well-rounded* they feel they need to nominate heavy engineering projects and government agencies.

    Wasps

    I think the lack of wasps (up here anyway) is due to a mild spell in late winter followed by a cold early - mid spring. They wake up only to freeze to death.

    Best Soft Cell album

    uhm... err... Non Stop Erotic Cabaret... No! Dancing! At least it's the one i listen to most. Mind, i'm going to have to confess to not having really explored further; The Art of Falling Apart is so ubiquitous in second hand stores that i always flick past - "i can pick that up another time".

    Coldplay "sampling" Kraftwerk.

    Fits with the look and feel of the whole enterprise i suppose... Kraftwerk should really get around to selling franchises... I managed to read about this 'adorning' someplace else too. I almost want to hear it, just because i've been having trouble trying to imagine how it goes; is it the...

    Earth2 - drone, doom

    I love Earth 2! Not least because it’s cover refuses classic stoner/drone tropes in favour of more blank Pop minimalism… I’ve started exploring this stuff to try and make more common ground with my for real Metal mates (Amerie just won’t cut it with these folks really *sigh*) I was the catalyst...

    radio 1 grime and dubstep special

    three/four years would seem to be Radio 1's typically subcultural recognition/assimilation speed, no? bless, i'm quite fond of MAH; she seems intent on generating so much breathless enthusiasm that we need a term bigger than hyperbole. Ultra-Hyperbole? BTW <i>ill belistenign</i> is a...

    The Eastenders Thread

    FWIW I always thought it'd be fun to work on the Eastenders set. I mean it's so full of detail - pictures on the fridge and stuff on the sideboards; half ripped flyposters and litter outside the tube station. I swear these little details change/move/adjust through the course of an omnibus. It's...

    chav--explain to a confused expatriate please

    I don't know; i saw a tape pack a few years ago called Charva Beats, from that what i've overheard and seen written on bus shelters it's definately self-applied a bit... With such a codified style, can you be oblivious? All this hoodies and baseball cap shit is bewildering in it's intensity...

    Asian Fusion Music -

    there's always a few killer tracks for me. Last night was DJ VIPS feat. Kulbir "Surma" (VIPS Records).
