I don't think Mark's looking to buy a Rolls out of his earnings. When I'm intending to bring a load of stuff in I usually ask him whether it's a good time - sometimes he says wait a couple of weeks, but he has definitely opened a second shop and last time we chatted , he said business was...

I know the chap who owns Flashback on Essex Road (near Islington), he used to work for Reckless I think. Funnily enough, he says business is good - to the extent that he's just opened a second store in Crouch End. www.eleventhvolume.com musicinterfaces.wordpress.com

I'll second soulseeX - been a while since it was updated, but runs lovely on my MacBook Pro. Took me a while to work out the interface which is very un Mac-like - most of the necessary stuff is in the right/control clicking.

The later volume of J.G. Ballard's short stories. Samuel Delany's dhalgren. Some Burroughs. Adolfo Casares' The Invention Of Morel. I liked Neal Stephenson's Snowcrash and Diamond Age.

Talking of arranging by colour: most - though there are some exceptions - of the Rune Grammofon CDs have white spines, also Impulse! and Chain Reaction. Oh and Kraftwerk's small, but perfectly formed oeuvre are generally rendered in primary colours or black or white and look good beside each...

Burial. Seems I'm the only one who doesn't get that album. I've grown to love quite a lot of Dubstep, love minimal techno, Chain Reaction, Rhythm & Sound. I just found the Burial unengaging and a few of the tracks painfully mawkish. Given his no.1 spot in year end lists, I guess I must have...

Being a longtime fan of Miles and a latecomer to Dubstep (only warmed to it in recent months), I'm really interested by your experiment 2stepfan. I think your reduction of MD to wraith is the more successful of the two tracks . What I really love is the texture, interactional...

God I loved 4 Hero. Their standout tracks imo were Wrinkles In Time and The Paranormal In 4 Form (which I think only appeared on the first Macro Dub Infection). These two tracks, especially the latter, appeared to signpost a radical new direction which nobody, including themselves, followed. And...

Sussan Deyhim I was at Supersilent - part of the "shit, hipsterish crowd" I guess. My most recent gig was a weird one, first time I've seen Sussan Deyhim perform. I was looking forward to it very much. It was at the Baltic (restaurant) and she sang mostly cover songs accompanied by two LA...

Fusion recs Here's a few post 70s recs for the person asking. These all revolve to a greater extent around extemporisation that's combined with other non-jazz elements: - Supersilent / 1 through 7: glorious fusion of many things inc. noise, freedom, jazz, folk, etc - Mat Maneri / Pentagon...

Go for Collected Short Films instead Earthquake Tuner was deeply disappointing. I didn't leave early though, as was watching on DVD. Only two films that have appalled to that extent were Powaqatsi (sp?) and Ulysses Gaze. I likewise loved Instituta Benjamenta which I would be very happy to own...

R&S live I know the thread's gone cold, but can't resist putting in my tuppence ha'penny. I've seen them twice in London in the last year or two - first time at London Bridge and they did a set of 7" dubs, some rather gorgeously tasty, but generally just an enjoyable listen rather than being...

Read it a couple (three?) years ago. Loved it, though the plot could have been a tad more complex for my liking. I don't think he's done anything new since, has he? After reading it, I wondered whether there were other books that explored the fictive/textural/typographical thing like that, but...

Hm. From my entirely personal point of view, I'm not that interested in whether a group is radical or influential. Is late Scott Walker influential? Tilt's lodged in my soul, whether or no. As are those first three Ultravox albums and most particularly Systems Of Romance. I'm fascinated to read...

The most recent time I heard him play was last August at the 291 Gallery - his playing made me grin at least twice. The first time was when I lived in Hackney 15 or more years ago. He ran regular Saturday morning concerts on the Lower Clapton Road at a long-gone venue called the Oasis Wine Bar...

I bought their first couple of albums when they came out and caught them live in Glasgow about the same time, however long ago that was... recently gave in to a nostalgic hit, started listening to them again and snagged a couple of later albums inc TV Sky. Neither impressed me half as much as...

Which album is it where Moondog duets with the QEII on tin whistle? I had it years ago on tape, but it's long lost. I love the sheer freedom and openness of that. I always pictured it being recorded live on the street, but wonder now whether it was just a tape recording of the ocean liner.

My Chrissie Faves I was born on Christmas day - St Etienne Merry Christmas Baby - Lou Rawls Christmas in Hollis - Run DMC Christmas Star Wars - R2D2 & C3PO Sonny's Christmas Blues - Sonny Boy Williamson Christmas Rappin' - Kurtis Blow

It's hard to disentangle this year's releases from all the other stuff I've been listening to, but here goes with my top 16 anyway. Supersilent - 7 Rhythm & Sound - See-Mi-Yah Kraftwerk - Minimum Maximum Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow Jon Hassell - Maarifa Street (Magic Realism 2) David...
