Even the very late 70's with the DJ orientated Rub-a-Dub sounds like Little John, Yellowman, Toyan, Michican & Smiley loads of Roots Raddics productions still sound heavy. Last time I looked Greensleeves were reissuing loads of this stuff.

Yeah it's all great! I read the Dancehall Beth Lesser book and am busy checking everything out. I downloaded some random vinyl rips of greensleeves, firehouse tracks and am loving them.

donovan's "greatest hits": so many of them (even though it doesn't include anything from the excellent "cosmic wheels"), such cool riffs (ever hear alice donut's raunchy cover of "sunshine superman"?), proto-zepplin sans plant on "hurdy gurdy man"...and has there ever been a cooler song than "atlantis"?

Norwegian Wood
Re-listening to DAF, Wire, Magazine and A Certain Ratio as they are all coming to London over the next few months. I've given up on last year's effort to mostly go and see new stuff. It wasn't pointless - but there is no point in living here if I cannot go to see aging (art-)rockers.

All about pride and egos
Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow and The Rolling Stone's Beggar's Banquet are the only pieces of music I've listened to in about a month.

The plaudits that this game has received confirms for me that computer games are still a long way away from meriting the snob value given to the more established art forms - it's very poor. (tho my version is for PS3, so who knows)

omar-s singles "psychotic photosynthesis" and "the further you look the less you will see"...and still trying to decide if they live up to the hype they've received in some quarters. smoother than his previous stuff, that's for sure.

been talking about this with a friend recently, and his take on it is that games like this, which traditionally belong on PCs, are being slowly watered down by the recent trend for games to be developed for multiple platforms...

i think you're wrong though, but it's mostly older games that make me feel that way

Hmm...thinking about what I didn't like about it: the feeble guns that go putt putt like spud guns; the unimaginative references (every room in the base at the start is 'room 101'); the massively limited 'conversations' you can have with the other characters; the shallowness of their characterisation; the weak strain of whatever comedy is attempted; the godawful graphics and the sad watercolour dourness of the palette; the lock-picking; the ridiculously over-sized inventories that you can cart about with you...I can't think of any redeeming features. I don't understand how it can have picked up rave reviews - unless, by referring only to previous video games and not to other media, reviewers have thereby had their expectations of entertainment and art drastically lowered.
