Here’s the poem, for those of you who wanted to see it in its original form or were struggling a little with the lyrics This shore has rhythm. A fractal beat On surf and sand. A wave. A wave. The ding ding, the hum, This hiss and smoke from Manhattan’s mouth is loud But young. [...]

is DELICIOUS, and so easy to do. All you need are about 500g of red lentils, an onion, garlic, ginger, mustard seeds and coriander. Finely chop the garlic and ginger and whack it in a pan, leave that to cook for a bit and fuck this, I’m going to make a video of it.

and one of the bands supporting them was a group of guys who called themselves Three Trapped Tigers, and they absolutely rocked. I don’t know why it took me so long to get hold of their first EP (like, two years?) but I just have, and it’s pretty fantastic. It’s not often that music makes [...]

Something else that I failed to mention earlier is that I’ve got this new project that I’m working on called Nowhere Near News, my podcast with Tom Bacon where we dissect idiotic women’s weeklies and get progressively more pissed off and suicidal; it’s funny, and hopefully will continue to be so past the third episode.

So I guess if I just write all these things down they’re going to be meaningless strings of names and words, so I’ll try to put together a short review of each one as well (which will have periods, since they’re considered pieces of writing, which is a pleasant side-effect I hadn’t considered, but hey, [...]

So I’m gonna tell you right now how I feel at the moment about blogging and I’m gonna try to get it out pretty quickly because I feel almost embarrassed by it, which is exactly how I feel about blogging, I feel embarrassed by the things I have to tell you, because I want to [...]

Look, I don’t know what the deal is with this, how many people read it or follow it or whatever, and whenever I do post, people rarely interact in any meaningful way about it, but I’m just really excited at the moment about a few things and it’s seven o’clock in the morning and the [...]

Yeah guys! The fourth EP in the Explorers series is out today and it’s got PIANOS and SINGING and is TOTALLY PALATABLE! Here’s the cover: And here’s the player so you can listen to it for free: Toy (Ode to an Imaginary Pachyderm) by Tom Milsom As usual it’s pay-what-you-like, with the minimum being absolutely [...]

So it turns out that my girlfriend Hatti was texting Alex about how awesome it would be to start a pokemon rock band called Nurse Joy Division, after Alex’s failed attempt at a Chameleon Circuit spinoff playing said pokerock. This is hilarious already, but I only heard about it today from Becky: [01/05/2010 21:59:07] Becky: [...]

So I just bought tickets for this year’s BRAINLOVE FESTIVAL for me and Hatti, and I am looking forward to it lots.
I’ve been sort of on the fringe of really getting into Brainlove for ages, through my involvement with Matthew at the Duke of Uke, who introduced me to Pagan Wanderer Lu among others*, [...]

This is a response to a blog post by Ben Carr, a normally relatively sane and engaging person, which you can find here.
In it, he outlines how the community built around Youtube is falling apart now that certain people are treating it as serious business to, y’know, make a living out of what they love [...]

So after hearing the catchy and charming song ‘In For The Kill’ by La Roux, and seeing the spate of remixes to hit the internet, I felt like throwing my own into the mix. I did it a few weeks ago and sort of forgot about it, but now here it is, in all its [...]
