So, be warned, this may not be my most forward thinking post, but I’ve been thinking about the contradictions inherent in myself recently, and thought writing about them, whilst posting some relevant videos might be something I could do on a Sunday. Apologies if I offend.
Anyway, here’s my confession. I absolutely adore sassy, sexually [...]

So, I have this problem.
I love reading, I really love reading. I’ve got huge stacks of books left to read and I’ve read huge stacks of book. The one problem is that bigger than either of these stack, is the stacks of books I’ve started but not finished.
I’m terrible at it.
I’ve started two books in [...]

So, I know I cussed down Freakonomics fairly the other day, but I found something really interesting on their site last night. One sentence in this report (found here)really stuck in my mind and sparked off a whole chain of thought about Scientific endeavour being so much more positive and powerful than the flouncier humanities [...]

Good morning everybody.
I feel a bit hazy, so I expect this post to be a little hazy. Sun outside has replaced the rain of last night. This is good, but I kind of expect the pattern to repeat.
Anyway, I was treated this morning to a little dash of half arsed student journalism. Someone came back [...]

Music has been treating me grand recently.
After a less than satisfying set on Saturday (not enough people there that early, and only about fifteen to twenty minutes of the set really worked….the ending was rushed, I thought it was getting better but I tried to squeeze too many songs into the end of my set…they [...]

So, once again, a shaven area of Britney Spears’ body has grasped the attention of the blogging sphere (or whatever the cool kids are calling it these days). I can’t remember where I first saw this, so I’m satisfying Raincoaster’s lust for power by linking to her report here.
Anyway, so Rain does point out a [...]

So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]

hair everywhere said 10 minutes ago:I haven’t been up to much these days. Such is life. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don’t care.
That was it. It cropped up in my ‘My comments’ page. It was underneath a conversation I’d had ages ago about gerrymandering, and proportional [...]

So.
I’ve just noticed as I listen to the music I currently hear pouring into my ears, that there is a common theme between the music, and the reason why I love the film I watched last night so much.
People…the way people talk and communicate… the importance and power of the tiniest moments and things.
This may [...]

It’s time to act like I’m older and more prudish than I actually am.
Though I do mean it.
Basically there was an article in the Education Guardian yesterday about young kids and porn.
There’s a lot of stuff in there..it’s one of those slightly irritating articles that doesn’t go into any detail about anything. It raises a [...]

I had a day today. Not quite finished it yet, but I thought I’d jot some thoughts down as I’ve been quiet for a coupla days.
I got practically no sleep, with what I did get performed entirely in stops and starts. I need to figure out a good way of forcing myself to sleep…but forcing [...]

So, this is about a lot of discussions I have with people. It’s about music, but it’s not going to be just like my random reviews of music. I want to look in a bit more depth at why I like music so much, and some of the kind of processual analysis of music that [...]

So, last post I looked at the detachment of reality and media images of reality, and generally pondered how much our view of reality is shaped by media sources. This is a simple and obvious statement…the medium is indeed the massage…or whatever.
What keeps on striking me though is how blatant the cinema industry is at [...]

So, this could be long, and it might actually even be a two parter, as I want to get back to Brighton soon. Unfortunately I want to start writing now. I had a wonderful new year…including Ska and Mountains and really enjoying being stranded in the middle of Wales with a bunch of people I [...]

So, this is being written while I’ve got something resembling a cold. Also my guts are churning and my head is screwed. I may not be on top form. However, I am also trapped in work and this is the only time I have to use the internet. We are very busy and everybody is [...]
