The Expanding Man

I spotted this in Thailand last week

Sleepy Dupree. I'm off to lay down some tracks. Are Alligator Records still in business?

Is it possible that the purchase of Stax is some very forward thinking - China is rapidly developing and if this continues, they may soon have the largest group of cashed up middle class people in the world.

You are reminding me of the Hollywood Babylon expose of James Dean: lying there at the foot of the bar, begging us drunks to stub our cigarette butts out on your bare flesh.

Is it me, or do his songs always sound better when covered by others?

I'm about to do some Kangaroo steaks for me and Mrs Expanding. Marinated in olive oil, chopped rosemary and garlic, and black pepper. Cook it rare, let is sit in a low heat for 10 minutes, slice it thinly and it is a very, very tasty cut of meat. Also, very low cholesterol for a red meat.

Try soldering them direct to your hard drive. You don't want no plug contaminating your signal.

A moose once bit my sister.

Dream Theatre have the odd moment of musical pleasure for me, but generally not enough to put up with the other 72 minutes on the CD. They remind me of a metal-prog version of Toto.

x3 Curious as to your set up.

I'm quite enchanted by the method and outcome of this style of photography. I kind of feel like giving it a crack. A bit of research suggests a Yashica 124g is probably the sweet spot in terms of low cost starter cameras?

Holiday snaps from last night. Traditional dancing from Ubud, Bali:

Nintendo 3ds. It's quite good.

XTC Apple Venus Vol 1 on vinyl. No matter how jaded I may be feeling, this album always makes me smile.

I got into a group buy for an antipodean record cleaning machine. It should arrive in the next day or so. http://www.witchdoctor.co.nz/index.php/2011/02/kiwi-rcm-record-cleaning-machine-video-review/

UK size 9. I had to unzip the divider and pack each shoe toe to heel with the other shoe. They went in perpendicular to the zipper opening of the shoe compartment. It was tight, but do-able. One of my flights on my journey was a smaller aircraft and the bulges made the tri-star a tight fit in the overhead locker. This wasn't an issue in the bigger plane. No laptop. These days I can get away with my iPad when I travel.
