about to rewatch ken russell's 'altered states' on blu-ray. like trumbull's 'brainstorm' i've only ever seen it on tv and it was looong ago. both v weird. anything else like this? you know... that isn't 'videodrome'?

where's the subtle GIFs thread? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21206964

13. a few years ago a psychologist wanted to diagnose that i had 'adult aspergers', but my doctor told him to get stuffed. most of the potential symptoms i have are more (for me) about my long term suffering with depression and the isolation of being lost in my own thoughts about the causes / cures of it.

if you like 'mind game' & 'kaiba', don't forget 'tatami galaxy' http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005GUSJ8Y/ for that 70s vibe, look for the USA releases of 'galaxy express 999' & 'adieu galaxy express 999' by Leiji Matsumoto.

can be nice to just go walking if you enjoy it and can cope with a whole day on foot. can be the case that trying to get to a tube for each location eats up more time and takes out the chance discoveries and pleasure in unexpected sights and just keeps you with typical busy tourist bubbles... London changes so quickly tht just one random turn takes you to a completely different place that you'd miss if you just want to catch obvious sites. it basically a large collection o very different small communities that survive without needing each other a lot of the time, and you can walk from one to another very quickly. south bank of the Thames between Westminster and stpauls is a great walk, and just behind places like Tate modern you'll see very different non-tourist areas and then suddenly end in tourist areas again when you get to London bridge.

planning is the key. even figuring out which is the nearest tube station can make hours worth of difference to what you can do in a day. http://www.timeout.com/london/art/ worth a look through for art places. lots of free stuff to see in the art world in london. lots of tube stations in the very centre are close together, some are much farther apart than they appear to be on a map. you need to know where you're going to rather than where you're trying to get between. a london a-z is good if you don't have a smart phone that will work here. i like the white cube galleries quite a lot : http://whitecube.com/ the new one in bermondsey has one or two really big damien hirst pieces, but is a bit out of the way. simply walking along the south bank of the thames can be an interesting way to see a fair few famous buildings - between westminster, london eye and millenium bridge / tate modern / st pauls cathedral, onto tower bridge / tower of london. takes at least an hour to do that at pace, so it's a good afternoon's leisurely walk if you've not see it all before.

order from amazon uk, at £7.80 (less 20% vat if outside uk) plus postage. that £6.30+ or so. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0063JALMY/

someone posted a doc clip with vibert recently, and you could see his cushions in the shape of drum machines & sequencers, stuff like that .... well ... http://www.etsy.com/shop/softmachines there you go.

discussions suddenly seem to kick-off around here. so, i'll add this. just in case it hasn't been said. leaks are drifting around the interwebs. promo copies received same day, i'd imagine.

like to know how many amazon got, my order with them says dispatch in may... not cancelling in case they've not had them, even though the date suggests the few they got have been and gone!

anyone find the tin in a shop or online?

play.com had a preorder listing for the tin, but they cancelled my order - dunno if they were told "you aint getting none" or "you can have 50 - first come, first served", but i ended up using that amazon listing... more in hope than anything else.

cyrus' album on tectonic is some great minimal, sometimes dark dubstep. vex'd is dark and industrial, but not really minimal. anything on skull disco is some great minimal dubstep. i shall check out skull disco, thanks. got my hands on kode9 & the spaceapes album.... far too keen to get on with the lyrics, lacks confidence in structuring a musical experience around it. looking for something i've little frame of reference for which will challenge my lack of general interest in music at the moment. need something fresh, deep, skillful, interesting...

so, having trouble finding sources to listen to a little of this dubstep stuff via blogs. looking forwards to trying out pinch's album early next month, might buy that 'tectonic plates' compilation also. want it dark, minimalist, industrial - what should i try?!

i uploaded the mp3s and sent you the link, did you get it?

ive tried to PM about this, but my CD of squarepusher at coachella 2001 has 8 tracks and not the 5 listed on the first page of this thread... : the exploding psychology my red hot car go! spastic Metteng Excuske V1.2 bonneville occident greenways trajectory tommib my fucking sound ...don't know how this compares, if the 5 mps3 on offer via this thread constitute the same record or less splits in the tracks etc, but if you want me to upload this, tell me where and when and i will do so.
