Spare me the fluffing
October 8th, 2008 · Comments Off · Uncategorized
Now I’m cross again. Look, people, people… honestly… I know there’s traditions that go with music appreciation. We recognise these and put up with them because it’s part of the sub culture. So in dance music every artist that manages to get the slightest recognition is always a ‘genius’. Their ‘phat beats’ are ‘soulful’ and [...]
Dry Drunk

The other night I was playing with a synthesiser called Morphine, which is additive and so fairly complex to program. You can individually adjust each overtone and theoretically achieve just about any noise you like. But you’ll soon find it easier to sample a sound and translate that into the raw sine waves that recreate [...]

Showtime!

A couple of people wondered what happened to the Showbag DVDs. Sorry, sometimes things stop dead waiting for a mysterious signal. It’s like a red light in the twilight zone. Once I performed the recent VJ sets, the green light went on and I finished the compilation. There’s been some technical problems as well. Anyway, [...]

Woolworths in Australia is the place you go to get a bag of the people. Sorry, bag of potatoes. So not like Woolworths in other places where you buy gifts for people you don’t like. Got that? Good. They have their own radio show that they play in the store. It’s not very different to [...]

The babblesphere has been soundly flummoxed by the just released Microsoft advertisement, which shows Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates off shopping at the mall, with Windows mentioned only at the end. Sometimes in their own words and sometimes using concepts they found on Wikipedia, the technically advanced and socially inept have tried to comprehend a [...]

You Got Mail!

If I ever mention politics again here just shoot me please. I was intrigued by a weird shit comic drawn by the Spiderman guy. I like the story line of Bioshock and I wanted to post a picture of a guy dressed up as a king. What I didn’t want was a bunch of mail [...]
Left Wing
September 1st, 2008 · Comments Off · Uncategorized
I write this to pretend to be balanced. But I have less questions for the so called ‘left wing’. It’s family and I know where the moles are. So I’ll use this space to question some of the bricks on which it is built – but they actually prop up all extremes of politics. The [...]

Response to Right Wing
August 29th, 2008 · Comments Off · Uncategorized
I don’t have comments because they encourage stupid people to write. But I do like a considered response. They are always welcome. Tim said: “I also thought I’d remark a bit on your blog post on right wing thinking. I think the first issue is to separate American right wing thinking from what other nations [...]
