Yay! Lara's back...

With normal sized boobs... and really, really big calves.

Moments of PSP zen part 1

• About 2 minutes into the first level of Lumines when the space station starts strobing, the world turns orange and the music hits this absolutely perfect crescendo - someone please release that soundtrack!


• Getting online in the middle of Waterloo


• The feeling of perfect freedom from shouting 'you cunt' to the world in general in a crowded train carriage as one of the computer opponents in Wipeout pips you to first place.


• Seeing someone else with a PSP at Woking station and being sorely tempted to challenge a perfect stranger to a game of Ridge Racers (all PSP owners have the game, it's the law!)

It's these little moments that keep me going sometimes, don't worry I'm sure I'll stop going on about my new toy soon - probably once one of my non-imaginary friends gets one.

One more day left of working in London, hopefully. I hate commuting, it's my fellow travellers that get me more than anything. When I'm not glued to a games console you can probably see clouds of contempt steaming off me if you looked hard enough. Whether it's my fellow herd members rushing to dull soul-destroying jobs far too quickly, the tourists walking far too slowly or the student-traveller types getting there annoyingly smug back packs in my way - I HATE YOU ALL!

I so miss nicotine...

Still it's not all hate and bile - I got pointed to an awesome grime (or maybe not grime - it gets very confusing sometimes) track by Lady Sovereign, it's on the 27th March post on Boom Selection...

J-Lo's got a batty bit well you can't see mine cos I where my trousers baggy

100% class I tell you! Her website is here if you are interested, I can quite easily see her doing a Mike Skinner on us and get very very big - she's already had a profile on Pitchfork so the indie cred side of things is already sorted out.

Once again the nagging feeling that I've just wasted another weekend has returned, the plans that I had to do something constructive (going to the gym and sorting out highly illeagal tyres on my car amongst other things) didn't happen, instead I sat on my arse playing games or went to the pub...

Of course this mood could just be the lack of nicotine speaking. *Grumble* *Curse* *Swear*

I did get some new CDs on Friday though, they are a little bit odd. SunnO))) and General Patton vs The X-ecutioners, enjoy!

hip-hop and sludge

General Patton vs the X-Ecutioners
General Patton is Mike Patton, you may remember him from Faith No More. Nowadays he makes records as Fantamos, runs Ipecac records and does strange records with Bjork. The X-Ecutioners are a group of turntablists who make instrumental hip-hop music. This collaboration is more cohesive than I was expecting, Mike Patton is very much at the forefront of experimentalisation as far as vocalists go, quite often he acts more like a turntable than a singer. Probably best if you listen to the posted track to see what I mean. A thoroughly fascinating CD.

MP3: ¡Vaqueros y Indios! (Joint Special Operations Task Force)

SunnO))) - White 2
How the hell to descibe this? Try to imagine heavy metal stripped of all it's unnecessary parts - strip out the drums, the vocals, just leave 'the riff'. Now slow that down to the point where the difference between notes is so far apart that any sort of melody is removed. Now add a sprinkling of mysticism and shamanism into the mix and your almost there. Awesome CD

MP3: HELL-O)))-WEEN

funniest/most worrying forum post evaaah!

What a fantatsic day! The sun is shining and I have Wipeout Pure for my PSP - it may very well be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
