something good

listening to cloudbusting, by kate bush from hounds of love

amazing track, beautifully sampled by utah saints and renamed 'something good'

hey - channel 31 got a temporary digital license!

woot

so, our long trip, what did we end up listening to?

i put on kings of convenience early, then we had beck, first presets album, an mbug mix

kyuss on the way back, a best of
and presets apocalypso
underground lovers
john lydon



my cousin who got married, why we went on a long drive, walked down the stairs/aisle to the notes of one of the shorter and more sparse versions of that lovely music by yann tiersen for amelie


i'm at home getting together a dj set for a friend's work christmas party :) it's a whole month away, but i want to have everything i might need

or at least a good three or four hours' worth

tangent - i've noticed a disproportionate number of apostrophe misuses lately.

it's a possessive. so the thing has to be possessing the next word in the sentence, usually.

so in a way they are the pizza's toppings, i suppose, but i don't think that's quite what you meant.

but it doesn't pluralise. that's just and extra 's' on the end, no extra '

i'm a word fascist, i know

twelve fold chain by the books is playing on my itunes now

they are magnificent

possibly, along with do make say think and amiina, one of my favourite contemporary groups

and the french love them, which is always a good sign :)

they remind me of miranda july too

i notice that after seven years, july's site (see? possessive. the site, of miranda july) - learning to love you more - is no longer accepting submissions. what an amazing project that has been. i wish i had got off my bum and contributed, but i always enjoyed what i found there

anyway, time for bed now

love

to pass the time

i wish i had a bit longer and time to really think about this task of compiling some mix cds to accompany myself, my bloke and our 18 month-old girl on a long drive.

i've thrown together about five new playlists, just ctrl+ clicking on whatever i know i'll not be sorry to hear at least once.

trans am, pavement, all my daggy singalong hit singles that i keep for djing and for housework soundtracking.

i see no harm in liking music that is easily digestable, as long as there's plenty of musical fibre in your diet.

so i've chucked in the odd penguin cafe orchestra, bit of satie, some rolfe kent and jon brion stuff... and plenty of the kind of music that the littlie likes shakin' and groovin' along to as well.

i like long drives. like driving. am looking forward to it, as long as i've got enough music
