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.

Moo Sicks to the Ninth Degree – My Music Round Up 2009
The best, most exciting, arresting and fascinating track of the year. For me. At least. – ImagineIAM, Merry-Go-Round. Right, so it’s a ludicrous review of the year round up. The main problem with which is that I have to work … Continue reading

Intense (No Tents) – Loop Festival 2009 and my body dichotomy (Somewhat)
So, it’s been a while. But lets not linger any longer, for there is business to attend to and I am stealing someone’s wires to send this out. When I sat down, I wanted to write a review two acts … Continue reading

Things they are a stirring
Arthur Russel – This is how we walk on the moon Basically, I feel a little guilty about not posting since forever, so I’m making up for it with a super short post full of delightful videos. It’s something at … Continue reading

I Could Eat your Heart – Micachu & the Shapes @ the Freebutt
This is one of the most difficult things for me to write that I’ve written in a long time. I’m not sure if it’s better to leave the whole thing to settle before I write, or maybe not write anything … Continue reading

What a Fucken Creep
Amanda Palmer rumbling around a noisy bar playing creep on a Uke. There’s better audio available elsewhere, but there’s something gorgeous about the environment and the wandering. And the way people actually shut up sometimes. And then get involved. Right. … Continue reading

The Moth Reaching Quiet
Ok, it’s not proper content, but it’s the first meme I’ve liked the look of in a long time. And it allows me to introduce Geekwrestler, who I stole this from. I don’t actually know much about Geekwrestler, but I … Continue reading

Unexpected Gig – Shameless Self Promotion
Usual brief pointless post noting that I’m playing the Eastern tomorrow (Sunday 7th Feb) from 8ish til late-ish. Usual mix of random oddments. Lots of great music inexpertly strung together. Smiles and laughs and dances obligatory, and I’ll lead the … Continue reading

Our Dancing Skeletons
Blubbedy blub. So, yesterday there was a charity thing that I DJed at in the Hobgoblin. The whole thing was in memory of the friend of mine who died November last year, raising money for the school on the island … Continue reading

Wander Lost – My Journeys with Björk
Bachelorette So, the last couple of days I’ve been reacquainting myself with Volta, Björk’s latest album released a year or so ago. The most striking moment on the album has always been Wanderlust, posted below (we’re going to be pretty … Continue reading

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

Sekks and Muzak
So, I’m supposed to be hammering away at my Nanovel right now, and I just can’t get myself into the swing of it. I’m not happy with anything in it and I’m not engaged with the characters or plot at … Continue reading

Nowt so Queer as Folk
Lots going on. Sorry I haven’t posted forever. The big news, the scary news? You want it? Don’t misinterpret me though, I insist. Essentially, the other night I broke up with someone because they weren’t comfortable with my gender identity. … Continue reading
Shameless Self Promotion
I declare myself officially a shameless captain. That is all. Not really. In fact, I just wanted to mention, for the few people who read this blog and live locally, that I’m playing a couple of DJ set type … Continue reading

Malt eye me d’ya ground up
Slightly on edge. I shouldn’t watch horror films (even ‘comedy horror’ films) when hungover. Severance was enjoyable in a painful and distressing way. I am a sensitive soul. Truly. Anyway, as I’m up, and I haven’t posted in forever. I … Continue reading

Nowt as good as a free enema
Erm… I think I’ve ruined this before I’ve started. But this is what happens when I think about something. I ruin it. (Midas touch in reverse? Fuck 65, don’t you know). And now I’m distracted. Anyway, the point is you … Continue reading
