I'm totally in love with "When I Close My Eyes" ) (free MP3) by Natacha Atlas from http://www.beggars.com/us/natachaatlas/ a video (Real) of the same track+some from http://www.mantrarecordings.com/natachaatlas/biog.html It might be westernised wank (she became a member of the Trans...

as a non-MAC user considering a MAC these announcements were pretty unexciting (or as it was put "Intel-kit at Apple prices"). I'll be waiting for an Intel mini-Mac and/or cheap laptop before I try a switch.

Neither Stravinsky, nor Suicide seem radical now. --- Ultravox were radical from where I saw it (admittely from Scandinavia in my teens and yeah we could get these albums as they came out, although I got Ha!Ha!Ha! first). They might not sound radical now - but the music and words have...

I think I read somewhere that those Foxx/Budd sessions where lying around for years before John and Harold decided to publish them. Also came across this bit of Foxx trivia doing a nostalgic Associates webtrip the other day - John played acoustic guitar on British Electric Foundation's (aka...

I've sent you a "Privat Message" - but yeah I love that shit and those first 3 Ultravox!/Ultravox albums would all have made my personal top 100. They formed me. Punk energy, the euro-electronic influence, Roxy-glam and Ballard lyrics - all wonderfully brought together. Foxx's recent...

and for a bit of stuff that actually made the charts (more in a last 35 years range though) "Popcorn"/Hot Butter and "Oxygene"/Jean Michel Jarre

I've got a couple of 12"s and their album - "Dr Mabuse" was my fav ZTT record (and still is). So I am happy to be "one of the HACKS on the board" and be counted as a fan of Propaganda. What set Propaganda apart was Claudia Brucken's euro-cool voice (and Dietrich-accent). She did a decent...

1980 - "Underpass", "No One Driving" or "He's a Liquid" John Foxx (1980) 1985 - ? something ambient (Budd/Eno?) 1990ish - U96/Altern8/808 State/LFO or something along those lines 1995 - "Novelty Waves"/Biosphere 2000 or so - Get Ur Freak On/Missy Elliot

So how far is Sa-Ra from what they call "nu-soul"? I mean Spacek is nu-soul is it not? That's what I would call it - and the Wikipedia (as good as any resource on this matter?) says Lost in the genre-maze ... Not that it matters - it's good (the music, not being lost in a maze).

My favourite comics were the "Ardeur" series by the French brothers Alex and Daniel Varenne. Set in a future post-apocalyptic Europe it followed a pilot/soldier travelling through Europe on his big BMW-motorcycle. I cannot read French, but luckily the series were published in Danish as well (but...

No. Orwell knew his stuff. If BigBrother is to happen it will be here. Consider the evidence - Oyster cards - automatic number registration on cars (but I guess all cars will be fitted with tracking devices for "a fairer road tax" within 20 years) - ID cards/passports - will be fitted with...

Lydia eats Peaches for Lunch.

Half of the music leaks out of those effin cheap earphones. Nothing to do with cones or not - it's just a crappy leaky design (half of the headphones are out of the ear for chrisake, seem like they fall out all the time as well cause you see people putting them back in every two minutes. even...

Les Vampyrettes (Czukay/Plank)/"Biomutanten" - previously known as ended up as number 66. Not ashamed to admit I only own around 20% of it. Good Associates choice. Have you put them all in one asbestos crate now then Woe?

not to mention gamblers - this is the first story I heard about him (as told by the Beeb - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/1967964.stm)

"Nightclubbing" and "Warm Leatherette". Twin (peak) albums - just like "Lust for Life"/"The Idiot" (Iggy Pop)

I've had some success with it searching for ie "netlabel" and "field recording". At least you will find people who have cared enough to write about the subject - and sometimes you can find stuff in there which google does not list in the first 100 or so. As Kottke rightly says it was awfully...

If the link between War and Oil needed to be clearer - the Senate is to vote on drilling in Alaska as part of a $453 billion defense spending bill. http://www.theworldlink.com/articles/2005/12/20/news/news13.txt

"Things Fall Apart"/Cristina. No question. Others: "Blue Christmas"/Elvis Presley "Two Thousand Miles"/The Pretenders "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis" from Tom Waits' finest album "Blue Valentine" Worst: that Emerson, Lake and Palmer number.

my fav for the year: Nine Horses (David Sylvian and friends) - "Snow Borne Sorrow"
