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 should go here and listen to this. Free downloads, only three songs, so not a big commitment like that [...]

Narcissism and Filthy, Filthy House music - Hangover

I’ve said it before and I say it again.
I love being naked.
No clothes I can wear make me feel as good as I do when I’m naked and happy. Ideally listening to raunchy, filthy house music.
That beat is so fucking versatile, underrated, simplistic and fucking sexy.
Like it’s ridiculous how much filthy, dirty shit you can [...]

It’s Your Damn Fault - The Cult of the Individual

 Meanwhile, dominant society prefers to understand such oppressive harm as aesthetic taste, entertainment, or freedom–and not deal with the harm of it at all, except, perhaps, in psychotherapy or on talk show which will never deal with the harm as structural, political, and institutionalized.

My Appearance could eat your Constitution for Breakfast - Some thoughts on Gaming and Gender

I’ve been reading a lot this evening.  A lot of stuff about pop culture, gaming and stereotyping, little bits on political correctness and all that jazz.
It’s been interesting. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to work out what I wanted to talk about. I’ve got a lot of ideas at the moment, but I [...]

Ooh La La - More Lyrical Dissection

Poor old granddad,
I laughed at all his words.
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women’s ways.
They’ll trap you, then they use you
Before you even know.
For love is blind and you’re far too kind
Don’t ever let it show.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what [...]

Slow Painful Progress - Moods and Trolls

So, I am still maintaining some kind of forward motion on the nano. I finally got the ball rolling again.
Only problem is it’s going incredibly slowly.
I kinda took the weekend off and spent most of it absolutely bladdered…or at best hungover. This was good in a way, but in fact I think I would’ve preferred [...]

Conflusion

So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.
I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.
I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me [...]

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 detaching myself from the fact that it’s been a problem I’ve had for ages. It [...]

Yield To Total Elation

Indeed I will, I shall and I have been for the last hour.
The track (YTTE by Matmos) is only 9 minutes and seven seconds long. It is rare that I repeat a track this many times. But it’s just so damn good. Before I start talking about the music though..a bit of background.
Here’s what the [...]

It’s all in your head - Ways of Listening

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 [...]

Violence in Action - Or how I learnt to stop worrying and love the abuse of Human Rights

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 [...]

Who’s reality is it anyway? - The Case of the Missing America (and the damn lies)

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 [...]

I am a Wanker but I Forgot

So, for the second time in one week I’ve woken up with virtually no idea what I did towards the end of the night. No idea.
I can only assume I was being a wanker. This happens to me a lot.
Anyway, anyone with clues as to how big a tit I was being last night, should [...]

All these thoughts…..

So, this is going to be a bit scatty even by my standards. Loads of stuff keeps on flying through my mind the last few days…I’m just going to jot some bits and pieces down to keep the desperate howling hounds at bay (Sahil…I mean you).
This isn’t one of the big articles I have planned. [...]

The Name’s Crippens - Franchised Character: The Mystery of the Blond Bond

Time for another rambling ramble…enjoy. Sorry I didn’t post all weekend, this hasn’t been due to an excess of busyness that will continue. I’m gonna try and post everytime I’m at work or can’t sleep and have nothing left to do in a given day.. this should be fairly regularly. Anyway, we’ll see how it [...]
