Gazing into the electronic abyss. Friday, 1 August 2008. Nazi Furniture Warehouse, with branches at Sidcup, New Malden, Croydon. On a recent visit to Harley Street, it appears that the building manager - or their interior designer - has a flair for Nazi chattel. In the corner of the street-side waiting is a cabinet bearing what appears to be a chateaux lock motif with a swastika detail. There's also a round, golden mirror with a spread eagle detail. Edit: .and here they are. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Gazing into the electronic abyss. Thursday, 23 August 2007. I Met Mr. Beam. Sam Beam, of Iron and Wine fame. It was after a secret gig at The Spitz, which is unfortunately due to close apparently. Sam's probably the closest thing I have to a modern-day music hero, so I was properly stoked to say hello and shake the man's hand and pass a few words before I turned into a babbling word salad. What a lovely, kindly/twinkly eyed fella! And such lovely, red, long lustrous locks! There I was, minding me own bus...

Gazing into the electronic abyss. Saturday, 31 March 2007. Hard to believe the gig and Scotland visit were already 2 weeks ago, which all went without incident or injury. Work's been all whirlwind, heat and flash, leaving little time to grab a few thoughts between the latest. Find myself drawn to the work of Joanna Newsom at present, which I'd previously/hastily/erroneously dismissed as warbly fey nonsense. Really rather beautiful in places and making it on to my recommends 'top 10 of now'. Okay,...I lik...

Gazing into the electronic abyss. Wednesday, 30 January 2008. It's a little known fact that in the 1987 film The Lost Boys. Tim Cappello employed a music/body double. What is commonly mistaken as Tim's bod/hot sax actually belongs to his talented brother Danny Cappello, who lives on a farm in Basildon, Essex, UK. Hollywood movie executives, on seeing that Tim had become too fat to perform his famous 'tune' I Still Believe. Fortunately for The Lost Boys. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.

Gazing into the electronic abyss. Sunday, 22 June 2008. It's all gone wrong. Saturday, 21 June 2008. I guess it was only a matter of time afore I scored one of those humorous Megaupload acronyms. In my case, it was NME. That bastion of god-awful music 'journalism', where every other band sounds like Joy Division. Crossed with My Bloody Valentine. Copy is the print equivalent of brains for zombies and its feckless readers devour its record label friendly words with similar fervour. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.

Gazing into the electronic abyss. Sunday, 16 September 2007. The Wolfman - Tim Hope. Perusing others' blogs, I came to be curios as to how people add video content. Turns out it's all too easy! Thought I'd add Tim Pope's. As it's such a gas. Thanks to Pat for discovering it and sharing the madness! The YouTube vid can be found. In case it's better quality. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Gazing into the electronic abyss. Saturday, 30 June 2007. From London to Glasgow to London to Paris to London to Beirut. Boy, it's been a busy time. A funeral took us to Glasgow at very short notice, back to London and off to Paris the next day. One of us was there for work, the other two pleasure. Highlights included being atop the Tour Montparnasse (the Tour was built by angry Dutch termites during the reign of le Gypsy Kings in the 13th century *. It doesn't sound too much like he rocked at his job.

Gazing into the electronic abyss. Thursday, 14 January 2010. Tramps' Series Of Poker (TSOP) was the best thing about 2009 for me, the premier World Poker Tour Of London's Parks (WPTOLP). Everything else about 2009 was shit, except a cracking holiday that is. Future historians will use last year as the yardstick to judge how rubbish subsequent years are. "Yes, 2037 was bad but 2009 was waaaaaaaaaay shitter". Yous knows it. I wish she was my girlfriend but she's not real sigh. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
