Dis Clam ‘ere
Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.

Political Emotions – One Life
New music at the weekend. I enjoyed the new Polar Bear and TV on the Radio albums, the new release of old Matmos is incredible and rich, Four Tet remixes are occasionally brilliant. But none of them made me cry. … Continue reading

Comm You Knitty and May King Adiff Rents
So, talk of Quilts the other day. Additional to yesterday’s Nick Drake fuelled downbeat thoughtfulness. Anyway, the theme, maybe, is people. Groups, support and how we deal with things. After I whinged yesterday, I watched the documentary about Drake, including … Continue reading
Hope Springs Infernal

Izza Real ‘Ardcore – Me and My Music
So, I spend a lot of time trying to drown my sorrows (and joys) in music. Lots of time. I know things about the music I listen to that man (and woman) was never meant to know. Well, not all … Continue reading

What the Folk are you on about? – Putting Musical Pigeons in their holes
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 … Continue reading

Perchance to Wake? – The Science of Sleep
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. … Continue reading

Intellectual Detachment – Emotions (are) for Idiots
So, in my previous article on The Squid and the Whale, I commented on the fact that intellectualising stuff can make emotional experiences more troublesome, stressful, painful and more difficult to react to. I think I actually succeeded in entirely … Continue reading

I’m Always Feeling Sinister
So, I recently re-acquired Belle and Sebastian‘s ‘classic’ album, ‘If You’re feeling Sinister‘. This is a good thing. I adore this album. There’s several reasons for this, but first a bit of history. You see, I’ve never owned a copy … Continue reading
