I'm sharing the wealth. The humungous music collection I've amassed during four months or so almost constantly on-line with Emule has been dipped into for the rarest shit to amass a gift for my pal Ben, DJ, music journo, record label type etc - the only guy I know as obsessive as me about tuneage - which I will give him when I 'bowl' over to London in a few days. Han, this list might get you back on the hard stuff.

Quite a haul. Something for everyone, even Joe Public himself! (Floyd bootlegs)
Just as there's always a tune that the DJ wishes he'd brought, the absence of which haunts him through the set, I'm vexed by some omissions on this spectacular 4.5 GB (as near as dammit) explosion of cum.
There is not a dicky bird from my trinity of musical heroes (who sometimes form a hexagon with the present Hebden, Dixon Jr and Blakey) - namely Neil Young, Gal Costa (ok, heroine...... will be the death of meee etc) and Art Pepper. For shame, for shame.
I also meant to include Fat Freddy's Drop live in Paris but it somehow got lost. Next time, Murphmeister. Yo!

'F Is For Fake'
This film just popped up on TVE quite unexpectedly. Welles' last film, an experimental documentary about an art forger and his hoaxer biographer, dropping in on Howard Hughes and Pablo Picasso. Interesting stories, makes me want to read about the shit they were digging into in 70s gossip pages. Good film too, and plenty of quoteables from the big man who wanders iconically through his film puffing a cheroot and wearing a black hat and cape. As George Costanza once said 'Who wears a cape?' Orson.
I took this off the Imdb site...
Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash - the triumphs, the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life: we're going to die. "Be of good heart," cry the dead artists out of the living past. "Our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? Go on singing." Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much.
Stating the obvious, but its nice to hear it said somewhere more permanent than the air. And us bloggers, now - aren't we the ultimate in man's disposable efforts to be permanent?

Yahoo Answers patheticness
Putting some of the views I've been posting to the US college kids & single 40sth Who fans onto my fine-assed blog for posterity.
Here's a link to my contributions... Wooodenelephant
on creationism
Is it true that 80% of Americans believe in Creationism?
I previously had this question removed because of a small additional phrase which was deemed insulting. In fact, the phrase undermined the seriousness of my question and it is better without.I believe that Creationism is untrue. I also think that its advocates employ the crude but effective devise of accusing evolutionists of doing exactly what they do - such as selectively interpreting or even surpressing scientific evidence.Evolution theory is the result of years of research, and does not in any way oppose any conception of God, other than literal interpretation of scripture.I urge anyone who feels uneducated about the theory of evolution to read, for example, The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins. This book opened my eyes to the true complexity and logic of evolution theory and made me see the evolution of, say, the human eye, is not only conceivable but probable - and deeply astonishing.
on depression
i suffered from depression for a long time. it would be fair to say it was not serious depression and typical of the depression which some adolescents and young people experience. My advice is to keep it simple. You are on a journey of accepting yourself and everything which goes with that. it will take time and there is no guarantee of success. the only thing you have in life is yourself. you have never had and never will have anything else. this probably sounds like a nightmare but after years of accepting - you will, i believe, find yourself free of your negative mind cycles.
on lennon v elvis
from cheesy Merseypop to glum suburban psychedelia to avant garde tedium? or from classic rock & roll balladry like Fool Such As I and Mystery Train to anthemic gospel-tinged soul like Always On My Mind and Can't Help Falling In Love? No contest.
on the big G
Depends on your definition of God. For instance, there are pantheistic religions (I think Hinduism is one) - i.e. god is everything. Religion and philosophy are tied. Man has always asked himself 'why am I here?' and organisations and individuals have always lied to maintain power. Just because you reject organised religion does not mean you should necessarily reject all the varied conceptions of god (or, indeed, life).Dostoevsky believed prayer was psychologically beneficial and I, for one, agree with him. A sound mind can accomplish more than an unsound one.

new mix
As I used to with my tapes, I'm currently making loads of mix cds at the same time.
The first one to be completed is a deep mix of tech-house etc. which came in at a glorious 79.49. All of these tunes have been ticklin the tiny bones more than others.
'ELECTRIC EEL'
1. Lady - MODJO / DANNY TENAGLIA
2. Detroit - MOONSTARR
3. The Sad Piano - JUSTIN MARTIN / CHARLES WEBSTER
4. Deep City - BASIC BASTARD
5. Buena Vida - INNER CITY / CARL CRAIG
6. By Your Side - SADE / MOODYMANN
7. Crackhousewarmingparty - DAVID GILMOUR GIRLS / RUB N TUG
8. It's No Good - DEPECHE MODE / ANDREA PARKER
9. Everything In Its Right Place - RADIOHEAD / HEAD OF THE HOUSE
10. J'ai Dormir Sous L'eau - AIR / CHATEAU FLIGHT
11. Atlantic Avenue - FRANCIS HARRIS & DAVE MOTHERSOLE
All excellent tracks. Last night I had the presence of mind to download the full version of Charles Webster's remix of The Sad Piano (the 4 minute edit appears on this cd) so this may reappear on these pages sooner than others.
Special mention is owed to Dave Mothersole, whose late night deep & tech house show on London's Kiss FM (Tuesdays, 2am) almost single-handedly turned me on to these kinds of sounds. Isn't it time Dave's show was syndicated on the 'Net?
I'm looking into podcasting technology, folks, so watch this space...
