Really like the recipes in the Moro books, but I find the two Sams an irritating pair of smug twats...

Tangentially, I read in Julian Copes article about metal (I think in the Guardian?) that SUNN0)) ditched the guitars for their most recent headline gig and just used moogs instead... here it is: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1852426,00.html

Do you mean music that just happens to be made by christians that has religious themes (eg Low), or specifically evangelical christian music?

I heard an industry rumour that Kasabian were the object of a wager at their record company, that the a&r responsible could take a terrible band and make them famous...

McGee's "On food and cooking" Not strictly a cookbook, but every kitchen should have one. Written by an ex-physicist, you might not expect a book on the sience of cooking to be so well written - and poetic.

Ronin is excellent, although quite simplistic in plot. It feels like he's just finding his feet. I also love The Dark Night Returns (who doesnt?) but the sequel to that was a total let down.

Im confused - have to say I know very little about the world of grime, but if it is as Logan says a "punk" music, why are people spending money on expensive studio time? I thought all this stuff was being done on PCs at home with Fruityloops. And isnt distributing mp3s a much more DIY thing...

can i get in on this too please? I'd like to become "tryptych" to bring me into line with my other IDs blogger etc...

Hmm yeah quite like that... despite it's somewhat carbon copy nature. Although: What with this rave-revival business, I reckon this stuff will go down very well at the kind of places he's talking about.

Definately. When Aphex wants to rock it, he most certainly can. I've seen him play several times over the last few years and he's always been excellent and varied, whether it's been sandpaper and upside down records or straight up detroit techno.

Tribe Just been watching repeat of Bruce Parry's programme on the BBC, Tribe (dunno what you all think of his attitude towards and relations with the various tribes - would be interested to hear) and I was struck by the differences between them The Nyangatom, one of several tribes in the Omo...

some sort of dialectic with PLUR as thesis and invidualism as antithesis? ;) Aufgehoben and all that...? It looks to me that contrary to what Swears says that culture as a whole has moved far to far towards the difference vs the similarity pole - all those things you mention are built on...

really? thats a shame. thought the bass was rather background at the TWLITF gig - seemed much less like a proper 3 piece.

I absolutely love Low, but I was a little bit disappointed with the 'things we lost in the fire' gig, as they didnt seem that comfortable on stage, not much interaction with the audience, and they didn't seem as musically tight as other times i've seen them. also, did they have a different bass...

Here's the tracklisting of that Digital Pentration comp: "Digital Penetration 1 is the birth of a series of compilations which will feature 50% established acts and 50% unsigned, all in the indie/electronic cross-over bracket, see below for Digital Penetration I tracklisting, and look out for...

In the NME this week (I was just reading it in the supermarket, honest ;) ) theyre raving about a new compilation on Alt Delete records, called "Digital Penetration" which is full of all this indie-neo-rave stuff.

http://myspace.com/jarvspace Produced by Graham Sutton, so I hear (EDIT: he's doing all of Jarvis' solo album, apparently)... Wot do you lot think?

Exactly. If you think Hot Chip are "trip indie to doze off too" i suggest seeing them play.

why on earth would we want another basement jaxx (not that I've got anything against them, I just dont think we need another one)? i just dont see how Hot Chip are "indie" at all really.

Sounds like a typical MDA hallucination - I imagine that's what you had, if it was pills.
