Posted on 2 December 2008 by

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

Posted on 28 December 2007 by

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

Posted on 23 August 2007 by

I wanted to breathe on beat and go a fifth higher than my physical voice was coined for. I wanted to serve with hunger but my gut split and the hunger men poured into war. -Sanddollars, by Why? Why? I … Continue reading →

Posted on 11 June 2007 by

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 →

Blue Sky Thinking

Lots of Inspirational things have been driving my way in the last twenty four hours or so. Not least of all is a wonderfully thoughtful webcomic called Copper. Seemingly just about a clever dog and his wise young master and … Continue reading →

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

Posted on 23 February 2007 by

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

Posted on 21 February 2007 by

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 →

Conflusion

Posted on 10 February 2007 by

Intellectual Detachment – Emotions (are) for Idiots

Posted on 4 February 2007 by

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

Posted on 25 January 2007 by

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 →

Yield To Total Elation

Posted on 13 January 2007 by
