Having been to Iceland (both north and south in back '91) I can say it's quite an exciting and dramatic place. Great nature, great people, but rubbish local beer (Eigils). Even if Iceland was "boring" - sometimes those boring environments bring out the most exciting stuff (loads of the punks...

good call Woe. I was thinking about blogging about this a while ago - but let it skip. The surprising thing is that Kraftwerk allowed this to happen. Then again - maybe it's a "do not try to pidgeonhole us" sort of thing (ehh - it's hard not to with Kraftwerk); just like Dylan's Starbucks...

http://music.download.com - my fav resource http://www.3hive.com/ - sometimes hits gold (mp3 blog to free mp3s) http://2005.sxsw.com/geekout/fest4pod/ - 750 odd free tracks via a torrent (40 or so worth keeping) http://www.comfortstand.com/ - has some good stuff http://www.anti.com/ - old...

WinRAR to extract those. But that site is a legit as selling A-boms to Mugabe ...

yeah I had that as well with 1.0.2&1.0.3. I upgraded to 1.0.4 and updated the plugin as well and it seems to work a treat now.

dbPowerAmp Music Converter. whenever iTunes screw up the MP3 conversion (it still does for certain tracks and I store all my music on the iPod itself as MP3) I use dbPowerAmp. Sadly I think the guy has to charge 7 quid for the "MP3-licence" (Fraunhofer, the owner of the MP3-patent, got after...

Taste has not changed a bit. Those are the three tracks possibly worth keeping. Shop Assistants - good folkish voice with hint of Velvet Underground 1/2 Man 1/2 Biscuit - yeah Fuzzbox - nice pop with Siouxsie/Lene Lovich yelping the rest? I blame The Smiths. I was never a massive fan, actually...

Opera first and foremost. It's got the fastest rendering engine, I can't live without mouse gestures, tabbed browsing, built-in pop-up blocker and Notes for a quick note without starting another app. I also think Opera's security features are excellent and the rare security bugs gets fixed...

Love it. Who isn't? I had no idea that Saul was to be some sort of saviour of hip-hop. Having listened to the whole of the SXSW-legal-torrent I bundled him together with Meg Lee Chin (who is quoting Ginsberg on her track. I only know that because I happened to read the Guardian last week and...

shit - I just ordered it from Amazon. Just heard one track "List of Demands" - which I quite liked, get it from here http://2005.sxsw.com/music/showcases/band/19890.html . hmm - haven't actually read that before. "emo-core" should have set my alarms bell off Oh well, I won't cancel, had a gift...

"Popcorn" by Gershon Kingsley/"Hot Butter" made in 1972 ( more at http://www.kingsleysound.com/Popcorn.html ) extract of the tune at Amazon ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000032RL/ref=nosim/sundot-21 ) The first piece of electronic pop I can remember hearing. It still sounds...

cheers Woe. Do you still think Les Vampyrettes did "the best record ever"? seem to recall reading something along those lines on your defunkt blog. It is seriously good stuff. Wonder how many copies were sold? Of the websites listed purefreude.de and die-todliche-doris.de have complete MP3s...

Should you be prepared to listen to all this again (handy for myself as I don't have a cassette deck). http://mockingmusic.blogspot.com/2005/07/nme-c86-profile.html (via thingsmagazine.net). Can't remember any of the songs, will listen to it tomorrow after my download has finished - but there...

This sort of drowned in the media torrent, but The Times mentioned last week that the Gov want ID-cards with RFIDs. RFIDs are small electronic chips used to track things, normally goods in a shop. I haven't had the energy to write about this (I prefer reading to writing), but I wish I did...

Vertigo - the ones with nothing but the Vertigo in the middle. Cheap entertainment and not for the easily hypnotized ones vertigo label

Do also try Bertine Zetlitz' "Fake your beauty" if you like Annie, maybe not as "knowing" as Annie, but good pop (or maybe it is knowing - "fake your beauty"). (streaming track on the front page of http://www.bertine.com As for Røyksopp's new. Mixed reviews, but I quite like it - "Alpha Male"...

anyone done this with success and can advise on kit to buy (UK)? basically I want to scan graphics from old records treat them on a computer and then on a T-shirt (Hanes or some other proper Tees). I want the end result to last and look good. I used to have a great red one ordered from the...
