  1. is this the real one? anyway:

    tonight I had a new dog. a small one, you could hold him in your hands. But every other day I had to drop him off at a station, where he´d run into a cage with a dark hatch inside and disappear. Then I had to get a new one, because to keep the old dog would´ve cost me 15€/day. Whereas for one day it was free. That went on for several days and it really fucked me up to see every dog dissappear in that hole, just like that.

  2. Went to the library yesterday:

    Because it was his birthday and I never read any of his books: Jules Verne Facing the Flag. Well wow.

    Besides that the occasional Bukowski, Sibylle Berg-Das Unerfreuliche zuerst and the second book of dune.

  3. A Briefer History of time, I really liked the way he described the theorey and the people behind it. Interesting read.

     

    Murakami, After Dark. I think this is his first book I have read that actually took place in the present (for me). Didnt like the chapters in Eri´s room, with the "camera-perspective", but the rest was solid.

     

    Next: A Pale blue Dot. Really looking forward to this one, cause its at least 1/3 space-pictures :emotawesomepm9:

  4. I am currently reading

    the 2nd time :wub:

    :wub:

    I´ve just read the 13 1/2 adventures of captain bluebear and the city of dreaming books, never would´ve thought hes such a great writer.

  5. Haruki Murakami - Norwegian Wood (german: Naokos Lächeln)

     

    I dont like judging over his books whether I liked them or not, he just has the possibility to write stuff that stays.

    Still I think his more fictional stuff fits him better.

  6. also quite interesting part

     

    De:Bug: What do you think about “marketing” ideas like this one thing that happend to you´re album long before it was out. Somebody posting your album tracks with the right names with completely false tracks of other people on Napster.

    Sean: Wonder who that was?

    De:Bug: You know the guy?

    Sean: No, not personally. After Warp accepted the album I had a list of tracktitles that i posted on the net to a little newsgroup, an Autechre discussion list, to see what happens. And thats what happened. I`ve got so many of our livesets that I have napstered. I think that Napster is actually quite good. I am quite into it. I never bother to record anything that we do. And it is just wicked to just go on there and get all of our livesets. All the kids with minidiscs and stuff have archived them and put them up there. I fucking appreciate it. I don´t have any problem with it, it´s quite a good thing. I mean if they are selling them to each other, that stinks cause I am not into people making money off it. But if they are just trading and stuff it´s fucking well, it´s what I did when I was at school and did not have enough money to buy records. I just had tapes. What I`ve done is that I retitled some of the livesets with tracknames of our album and left them on Napster for a couple of months. But nobody downloaded them. I was quite disappointed. But the files were so massive. All really highbitrate as well. It is quite amusing that somebody else did it as well. And they were quite well known tracks wasn´t it? I quite like that. It´s probably someone I know.

    De:Bug: Yeah. Seems like the one who did it said that he explicitly choose tracks that sound close to Autechre, and that people liking Autechre should know. But nobody seemed to identify them.

    Sean: So a lot of people think they have the album when they haven´t got it at all. Thats quite clever. Who did it then? Probably the label. I can imagine Warp doing something like that, they are pretty sneaky.

    De:Bug: They said they didn´t. They wanted to do something similar though.

    Sean: Same thing for me. But it did not work. With Napster you really got to be online all of the time to have people downloading stuff from you. And I could not be bothered to find somebody who is, because then it would have been their total responsiblitiy, wich would not have been nice. Loads of musicians use Napster to hype their own stuff anyway. Fucking mad. Its like: Oh well, I`ve got these slightly less good remixes of my stuff so I put them on Napster first so that people think they have my new single before I release my actual new single wich is better cause it´s got more edits in it and a few more DSP eccentries, bonus bits, it´s like this old hiphop thing of buying a remix 12″ with a couple of extra little edits in it. Got too much to do though. Too much music to make.
