The Fountain – I actually felt like I was surrounded in beautiful golden light

Posted on 28 June 2007 by

Well, not quite, but this film did put me into an almost blissful state. Just warm and happy and at ease with the world. Smiles galore and a feeling like the air was flowing clearer around me. So yeah, I … Continue reading →

In, Ex Plicker, Ball

Posted on 13 June 2007 by

I don’t really get me. Right now I have every reason to be miserable, lack of sleep, long day at work (in media res) to be followed by another, desks to move and people to get over (lots of trouble, … Continue reading →

Izza Real ‘Ardcore – Me and My Music

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 →

Air Brained

Posted on 8 June 2007 by

I went for a brief bit of an adventure yesterday. Well, strictly speaking it was just a picnic in a park in town I’ve never been to before. It was absolutely beautiful and the most relaxing and centring thing I’ve … Continue reading →

Who Loves the Sun? – I did, long before anyone else. Maybe

Posted on 30 May 2007 by

So, I’ve been reacquainted with the ability of the mind to lie. I was sitting around, minding my business. When out of an orange coloured sky (okay, it was a tv tuned to a ‘chill’ radio station) I heard a … Continue reading →

Buggered Sore like a Hobo’s Whore

Posted on 16 May 2007 by

So, yesterday I was slightly rollercoaster.  Upset, downset, left, right, unset. I cheered up in the evening but only by the time that I was supposed to be sleeping. This means I’ve shot myself in the foot as far as … Continue reading →

Jerky DrumPiano Magic

Posted on 11 April 2007 by

Go and watch this. Hopefully I’ll be writing a big and fascinating (and intimately personal) post later today…though I don’t know if I’ll have the focus to write it at work. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and … Continue reading →

Blue Sky Thinking

Posted on 7 March 2007 by

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 →

Slow Painful Progress – Moods and Trolls

Posted on 12 February 2007 by

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 … Continue reading →

Conflusion

Posted on 10 February 2007 by

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 … Continue reading →

Yield To Total Elation

Posted on 13 January 2007 by

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 … Continue reading →

Day…Today…Indeed

Posted on 11 January 2007 by

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 … Continue reading →

It’s all in your head – Ways of Listening

Posted on 8 January 2007 by

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 … Continue reading →
