Beer. Chenin. Cab. Cognac. Mondays eh? Pfft.

Played golf at 7:00 am, sank everything in sight. Lunch with the Mrs. at the fishing harbor at Kalk Bay -- ate fresh oysters, calamari, crayfish and sole. Drank some pretty good sauvignon blanc. Walked it off for an hour or so on Long Beach over at Noordhoek. Sea and sky were competing for brightest blue. Hit Steenberg Winery for a champagne tasting and some tapas on the way back home. The afternoon sunshine was practically liquid, dripping down the verdant slopes of the Constantiaberg. (Oh dear, he's getting a little carried away, please tone down in final copy -- Eds. And can't we shop out that fucking construction tape? It's really not helping the ambiance. Plus, what's with the PARENTS BEWARE sign? Once you've had the little shits, it's already too late for you. Ha ha. Just free associating here. Have you noticed the tits on that new girl on the Metro desk?)

LCD Soundsystem -- Sound Of Silver

Blur -- Modern Life Is Rubbish

I regard this as hate speech against persons of intermittent orange hue. Please forward me the email address of your firm's diversity coordinator.

Pondered whether I now have the best/worst sock tan in the entire world.

Boards Of Canada -- Geogaddi

Happy Birthday man!

The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself. Do you want my presence or need my help? Who knows where that might lead?

The ultimate torture machine! I highly recommend RowPro if you are planning to get into it seriously. You can train and race with other people all over the world online. It's highly motivating and there is a very tight and supportive online community. Enjoy. Although that's not really the right word. Maybe endure.

Jenny Lewis -- Acid Tongue My four-year-old daughter really loves "Pretty Bird" off this, though thankfully she's missing 99% of the lyrical nuances.

Truly badass amps are always ready. For anything.

Sorry I'm late to the party! Happy Birthday Salty!

Goldfrapp -- Supernature

Happy Birthday!

Thanks. Will investigate further. No noise so far with the 404LE, though, which seems to point at the headphones rather than the amp?
