Ooh, I had a wicked hot curry and a bucketful of IPA last night. Let us devoutly pray the room is large, and well ventilated.

Happy Krautrock Birthday!

And then there's the utterly world-weary take on things after dinner... Jarvis Cocker -- Further Complications

Depeche Mode -- Some Great Reward My old girlfriend from 1984 pinged me on Facebook today. "Somebody" was the song of our 15-year-old lives, pre normal jading.

Yeah, I might stick a bottle of Corryvreckan in the glove box, too.

An extremely British story, if only for its extremely good natured incoherence. Hen that thinks it's a dog takes litter of puppies under its wing - Telegraph

All righty then. So what time are people planning to get there? And what's the agenda afterward?

Sorry Dinny, they've decided to stop making things altogether and just live off their patent portfolio.

It's clobbering time.

Interesting read. Books in the Age of the iPad

The Mary Onettes -- The Mary Onettes

Tell me about it, Chris! Can't decide what I need more, botox or detox.

If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking until you suck seed. I went to my trainer. Who has moved. Right up the road from the good beer store. So now I stop there on the way home from the trainer. Which is efficient, but perhaps athletically ... suboptimal.

Five and a half hours? You biker dudes are very, very diseased even by audiophool standards.

Iron Maiden -- Powerslave Sounds good!

Viva Baguette viva!

You know what to do.

The Omegas? I had a good session with yours at CanJam and agree they are very, very fine. Not off the KGSS though.

Pfft. How come those are suddenly red hot FOTM again?

It's Japanese for fuck you they're awesome.

Toe -- For Long Tomorrow

Question answered about the O2s waking up with better amplification. Toe, "Our Next Movement", Japanese drum extravaganza. 707t = flop, flap, fail. WES = boom, bam, booyah! No going back.

Bruce Springsteen -- Darkness On The Edge Of Town

Very glad to hear, Dinny. (Commercially) aggressive spouses FTW!
