  • Up Front: Feeling Like Death,

    I see the Ithaca Festival is about to start and put paid to any seasonal disaffection...
    The "singing in the Rain" theme is a good umbrella for it...
    Angry Mom Records featuring DJ Gourd sound fun...

  • Radiation: Geek, annoyed,

    the purpose of the polar bear

    the show could've morphed into The Golden Compass reality, as a failsafe...?

    Friends of O, R'lyeh...

    I was still punting for a massive special effect in the finale, depicting the two worlds spilling into each other. Pah.

    I was thinking when Desmond pulled the "plug" that maybe we'd get a waking Cthulhu... after all R'lyeh is midway between Sydney and LA

    they're making The Hobbit into two films?

    The Hob* and The Bit**
    either way we're probably screwed...
    * a machine tool used for cutting gears or screw threads
    ** a tool or piece for boring

  • Hard News: Still not all that Super?,

    Why aren't these people held liable? did they lie to BRANZ about the suitability of their products?

    does the Government/country still own any forests? - perhaps they (and other timber suppliers who profited) could supply the right timber free of charge to sort this, lesson learned, moving on...

  • Hard News: Blog About Cat,

    what a feline and other flash fee lines...

    Srsly. Indeed, if Russell wants to blog daily about the size and consistency of his cat's shit, that's his prerogative, Bobby Brown styles.

    Surely this could be read as merely
    "going through the motions..."
    ;- )

    I'm sure our vet doesn't see us as fellow humans
    he looks straight at us and sees - a holiday in the islands, a new Jet ski, anything but bipeds...
    but he does a good job on the cats and that's
    what's important...

    go Colin!

  • Random Play: Dog Day's Afternoons,

    the avant guard dog

    woof, woof, I like it...

    The idea is that the "music / performance" is pitched beyond human hearing so only dogs will, like, kinda get it.

    Music to synch your canines into?

  • Hard News: Still not all that Super?,

  • Hard News: Music's emerging digital market,

    Can I read it while I'm soaking in a hot bath?
    If not, then it's no use to me.

    coming soon the iLilypad...
    (complete with transmorphed Prince...)

    I know the number of people that come to my site because the bits and pieces, like the Zodiac data, are not available anywhere else. There is so much that needs documenting but nobody is really doing it.

    I wonder is there a digital archive now, as well as hard copy archives, where Simon's excellent site and other relevant sites (Flying Nun history, TallyHo poster archive, etc) could be stored and made accessible - a governmental/cultural back up - sorry Russell I know ya didn't want that thread diversion :- )

    copyright nightmare

    Nooooo... get thee behind me Satan!

  • Hard News: Music's emerging digital market,

    Slating the iPad...

    Here we go again, the iPhone as a killer device.

    ...or as God would say - take two tablets and call me in a coupla thousand years...
    I'll be moseying on then.

  • Hard News: Music's emerging digital market,

    Hugga Hector Day...

    (And incidentally, you know what else has the right form factor for that? A bloody recipe book. Or a printout if it's a recipe you found on the net.)

    But if you don't have the Recipe book you want on hand, and don't want to consume paper and ink for a one-off dish - but you can find it on-line well this would be a good way to do it, and less cumbersome than getting the laptop into position possibly - but hey, whatever you personally are comfortable with, each to their own...
    and thanks are due to Russell for being a cultural guinea pig (a real Hector the hero even - though watch out for that heel Achilles!) and trying these things out for the rest of us - technology and society changes by perturbations and other deviations and diversions...
