already on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/results?tag=lordi kicked me back into full Fangoria/Cinefantastique mode - possibly more of an avid Troma fan convention than Star Trek though?

as on cue, Simon Caulkin in The Observer today

Well, well. The paper of gliberal slipper-wearing potsmoking dads sometimes come up with the goods, the Grauniad on Friday:

Target culture - everything is measured by targets. so you get school league tables, targets on hospital queues, on crime, on the "value" of public services, how profitable each post office or other semi-public instance is, on expelling a percentage of asylum seekers etc. The idea is to create...

Alice Cooper and Redbone for getting me into music in early adolescence . And for the theatrical/dressing up aspect in rock - ie Roxy Music, Steve Harley, Split Enz, Szajner, Cramps, Wayne County etc Danish band Gasolin' as my first ever proper gig (Scandinavia's Thin Lizzy) Sex Pistols and The...

I don't own it any more - but isn't there a track on "Neu 2" where someone is rowing a boat on a lake while talking? That track still haunts me (as does selling the vinyl). Listening to ie The Caretaker's "We’ll All Go Riding on a Rainbow" I would say that hauntology is also about place - a...

Hadn't heard of the term "hauntology" when I created the mix (in June 2005), but in retrospect I think it fits perfectly - WWII air-raid alarms, footsteps, crackles, sounds of rusting boats and heavy breathing (?) - under almost beatless electronic music; an overall eerie-cozy atmosphere. 15...

You can mention Seinfeld any time.

It is a new release. From what I understand she has gone totally independent. That CD cover seems to be hand glued and all. Just one of these things - you go through your collection and think "is she still around"? I am glad she is. Samples from 31:31 here "X Dreams" was actually what lead...

the burial breezeblock mix is available from http://www.barefiles.com if you haven't already picked it up (most downloaded set)

fekk knows - but with Annette Peacock it's not too bad. It's a sound that quickly dated and still sound dated. And that's why I was surprised and taken back by APs new album - I thought no one was going to use that sound again - it's like seeing someone wearing a Miami Vice suit or legwarmers.

to paraphrase Buick6 deserves a sidethread. I guess it was around before the 80s - but it really came to its own (?) with that guy Pino Palladino in his work with Paul Young and Gary Numan. Others: Fashion - "Fabrique" Annabel Lamb - "Once Bitten" Level 42 - ugh and it's still around - got...

and a more balanced piece from The Observer on Chavez from two weeks ago. ...

If more talking is what your after try the crazy Chubcreek or the urbane Clerkenwell Kid - http://www.chubcreek.com or http://theclerkenwellkid.blogspot.com (both via marvinsuicide.org - but Marv's cast is mostly music)

Here's some more Diego, I like the kicking he does 2:50 into this video and here's the great man set to the Arctic Monkeys . This is my fav though, Maradona in Napoli - deflated goalies, parades in the streets, it must have been magic to have been around. And let me slip in a Tony Yeboah...

the nice people of ccmixter.org are having a new mix contest. Fully separated audio sources for 3 Crammed Disc recordings are available - see http://ccmixter.org/crammed/ And if you are one of the people on here that produce your own music ccmixter is a great place to get vocals or to get your...

Those podcasting terms are not too bad actually (in terms of show content), as an occational podcaster (only free legal MP3s) I read through them. The killer is the price though - if you have a bit of success (or get a Chinese fanbase) you are going to get thousands of downloads for each...

I'll admit to buying their first album. My excuse is that I got in on sale with loads of other stuff, the cover was sort of different and I might have thought it was related to 23 Skidoo (ok that's a thin one) - but we have to stop right here and just say NO - LEVEL 42 - THAT REALLY IS THE...

I like Conga (or C0nga with a zero?) - stupid name, but good trad heavy. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=30624640 and http://www.gonga.co.uk/seehere.html (strato-fortress was the tune that got me on to them - like status quo ca 1973).

Ahh - what about Fashiøn (as they named themselves) and their "Fabrique" album with the single "Love Shadow". Stonking bass on that one.
