  1. robert wyatt - rock bottom

    meant to post this with the one above. i can't get into this at all. it's his voice. the arrangements are fine, some of them are surprising. i don't think i'll come around to it. seems unfortunate because i feel like i should enjoy this, but i can't. although, does anyone enjoy this kind of music?

     

    I do, very much.

     

    I think with stuff like Wyatt's voice though, you have to get over the uncool/cringe twinge that it invariably inflames.

     

    Try Old Rottenhat. Lots of very childrens tv-esque parpy synths on that one. It's one of my faves.

     

     

    Try

  2. from beyond

    body horror from the director of re-animator, also based on lovecraft. not that film. don't watch it with raised expectations and you'll walk away happy.

     

    [trailer]

     

    really, how can anyone pass that up?

     

    Last week I dug out his adaptation of Dreams In The Witch House as part of my lady's ongoing education in all things horror/trash.

    For some reason I've never heard of or seen From Beyond. Although now I look at the cover of DITWH it actually says on it "from the director or Re-Animator and From Beyond", duh.

    Looks fookin' amazing, gonna watch soon as.

     

    Dreams In The Witch House is pretty great if you haven't seen it btw.

     

     

    (Though the trailer's not up to much)

  3. My cat has just done a shit that appears to be half the length of her body that has stank/stunk out the whole living room.

     

    The end of the turd was lightly (lovingly?) resting on the handle of the poo scoop, which had been left in the litter tray.

     

    She's now hiding under the armchair, and rightly so. She also seems to be quite pleased with herself, and rightly so.

  4. I'd burned Exai to two discs for work but then got hold of (key osc) so had to burn disc 2 again.

    I gave the extra disc 2 to a work colleague who's never heard of Autechre but is a fellow weirdo and is in to scifi and other nerdy pursuits.

     

    That was two weeks ago, last night he listened to it and I got these text messages from him (he sends all texts in unpunctuated full caps as he believes they should be used like telegrams)

     

    "THAT CD YOU GAVE ME SOUNDS LIKE ZX SPECTRUM SUBVERSIVE CULT MUSIC. I LOVE IT"

     

    I told him I'd bring him in a copy of disc 1 the next day, his reply was:

     

    "THANKS I REALLY LIKE IT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IT KEEPS ON TRYING TO DOWNLOAD THE SCHEMATICS FOR A PLASMA RIFLE INTO MY BRAIN BUT I JUST SEND IT A TELEPATHIC MESSAGE THAT MY PRIMITIVE CARBON BASED HARD DRIVE CANT ENMESH THE DATA"

     

    I decided to give him a copy of every ae album :biggrin:

  5. When I was out of work averal years ago I used to enjoy downloading 24hr+ Stephen King audiobooks (was an SK nerd from the age of 7 or 8 and have read every book at least 3 times) and listening to the whole thing, stoned and laying on the floor.

     

    Yes.

  6. Similar, it was this:

    Difference being the twist off lid.

    Made me laugh when I saw it 'cos we used to do this at ATP with the capri-sun 'sport' pouches that had the twist caps. Pour out the drink, funnel whisky or jaeger into it and then walk into the stage areas with it in your pocket.

     

    Yeah, ginger ale will cover most sins. Or those KA black grape or fruit punch sodas.

  7. @Beerwolf

     

    Same here, love all the sea beasties.

     

    Had whelks for the first time year before last. weren't bad, looked like snails but same texture as squid.

     

    @Uptown Devil

     

    I saw Whisky in a capri sun type pouch in Tesco in Devon yesterday, but that can takes the biscuit.

  8. I want to draw another Kristen Stewart MSpaint portrait but I've gone to Devon to visit my me mum and only have my Mac with me and have left my lady's Toshiba at home.

     

    Also there's nothing to do here as my mum lives in a tiny village with only a pub and a butcher for entertainment.

     

    My lady and I turned up at the pub for it's 12:00 opening, played 6-ish games of pool with many pints and then a bottle of wine and now we're back at my mums and expected to be sociable but I just want to lay down roll around to my freshly downloaded Tortoise and Orb albums.
