I think too much. So I try not to do it anymore. It's not very productive. What's a shame is that thinking has been cordoned off from other human actions. It should always be "thinking-and-something" and that something might be running, gardening, talking, I dunno, even fucking?

(with the exception of Mr. Kirk's Nightmare, which is a bit of an inexplicable choice being much earlier and totally different in sound) It's gonna be the 96 remix - which is piss weak. 4Hero on a jazz tip.

Work with money to get money Hmmm, let's see: - Accounting. An accountant once told me that his profession allowed mediocre people to earn 50k pounds a year. However you have to train for 3 years - and it is really freakin' tedious. - Sales. Yip - if you're a good talker, then go for it. But...

A few months ago, quite by chance, I stumbled across a hip hop battle night at one of my locals. The standard was highly variable but a handful of top MCs had me pissing myself. Odd thing is, ain't many Battles in town and some people I'd spoken to had driven for hours to be there. So, on to...

Auslanders So, to summarise for those of us who live several thousand ks outside the M25: - Risky Roads: Lots of Battlin n Freestylin n some interviews. - Conflict - some battlin from the sounds of it. - Practice Hours - lots of Freestylin n Interviews. - Aim Too High 2 - CD only? And how do...

So it's Xmas Day and I'm at home, sipping champagne with my ex and I'm a bit pissed so I put on Logan Sama's mix mp3. After about 15 mins, she says the shouty guys are getting a bit much. So, a simple question: is there anything a bit smoover out there? What should I go for? I'm not talking...

The Beatles: Are there two Beatles - the live band and a recording band. Beatles (1) actually died in plane crash on route back from the US in 1966. They were a bunch of cheeky R&B/pop soul entertainers. They were young and fun and their fans were mainly young women. Beatles (2) were created...

That's why I think buddha was wrong and rumi was right - it's a conversation or a link that pushes you up there not something inside of you. Which I agree with. Not read Rumi - have to give it a go. I also like the idea of the Bodhisattva. Someone who forgoes enlightenment to help other...

Luke & Backjob - completely blown away. And I agree about the talking to other people bit. This is kinda what I was getting at when I rambled about bringing it back into everyday life. My own limit experience took place over four months. Best read from the bottom up. N.B. Some of it is...

All this druid bollox is so off-putting. I'd love to see Blake possessed by graffiti artists. Scenes of mystical becoming sprayed on the Bakerloo line maybe?

Luka> Fair point - but no one else had, so I was just going with the platitudinous flow. How about this one? I went to a wedding of a couple of close friends of mine in Bristol. In an advanced drunken stupor, I agreed to give them an I Ching reading. When I sobered up, I got a a bit worried...

Well, the KLF/JAMMs "It's Grim Up North" fades into Jerusalem. According to 24 Party People, you could see the whole of baggy as being some post-ecstacy Blake-fest. Certainly you find traces of him in the lyrics of Ian Brown and Shaun Ryder???

Woebot> Yeah, I've had quite a lot (too many?) conversations with people about this exact topic. Which brings me back to a comment I made recently in these parts - which chimes in nicely with the Woebot's comments: You take the LSD, you climb mountain everest and then what? How does it effect...

Or to put it another way I grew up in an evangelical baptist church. We had it all going on: speaking in tongues, spirit healing, prophecy and exorcism. One bloke exorcised me coz I listened to The Police (far enough, I spose). Apparently I was full of demons. Apparently everyone was full of...

I went to Bodh Gaya and all I got was this lousy enlightenment I went to Bodhgaya and sat under a descendant of the tree under which the Buddha himself attained enlightenment. Didn't really work for me. But other things have. Resistance or surrender? Dunno, mate. Neither maybe. Does it...

Well - you got yer dark glasses (aka sunnies - or is that sunnis?) vs. yer other colout tints? Like beards maybe - what are these people trying to hide? Hmmm - sunnies worn indoors screams "I am trying my damnest to be cool, can't you see that?" And the Invisibles? Well, yes - but King Mob...

Ned - typo should be "Restless" not "Relentless". The Dream one.

Bloody amazing!

I must sadly admit that this year I watched every episode of Buffy (144 in total). There was plenty of rubbish, quite a lot of good fun and 4 of the most adventurous bits of TV formalism (i.e. Hush, Relentless, The Body, Once More With Feeling). It's very, y'know, likeable. I'd tried to do...

I'd split it between columnists and journalists. Columnists - no time for. Opinion-rich, fact-poor. Journalists - People that actually go out there and do some research and get their hands dirty? Better maybe. Trying to think of specific examples is quite difficult at the moment tho...
