One day in Berlin ... (Brian) Eno came running in and said, 'I have heard the sound of the future.' … he puts on 'I Feel Love', by Donna Summer … He said, 'This is it, look no further. This single is going to…

I had a 12" mix that was either 16 or 18 minutes long (can't remember exactly but it was looonnngg) and I too used it to clear the club when I DJ'd in the 80s.

This is the Cowley mix. Huge synth noises going crazy from about 7 minutes onwards…

So, although we're insanely blessed with two boys who appear to be nothing but endowed with normality, I am thankful the…

Oh, and also Bob Frisbee kinda sold me last Friday on his theory that the best version of 'I Feel Love' is the original album version.

It's more concise but I'm a sucker for the twisted Patrick Cowley 15 minuter, although the last five for are great for ending the…

Like psychics these people seem to pander to the weak and the vulnerable and the gullible. Why is there no EU type protection here in NZ???

It's interested how some things manage to wiggle through these little loopholes. The entire food legislation shitstorm last year was a great example of…

I think regularly how lucky we are to have each other.

You sweet, sweet man. What a lovely thing to say. Congratulations to you and your child bride.

And who says being in love isn't a heavenly pop hit?

Craig, too much.

Really, tears in the eyes, chaps. Nothing like…

I wonder what the young lad who arrived at Rip It Up all those years ago would've thought about that ;)

Well, there was the odd nightclub that provided an education: I recall going to the booth and asking Peter Urlich to drop Stephanie Mills' 'Pilot Error'. And of course…

dancing maniacally to 'Le Freak' and 'I Feel Love'

I wonder what the young lad who arrived at Rip It Up all…

I have had the fortune to discover the Public Address site recently, and at the same party last Fri night where I spoke briefly to Russell – "love your work", etc – I FOOSH. That's what the discharge papers said, and apparently that means Fell On Out Stretched Hand.

Oh…

And the alarming story of a mother called in to school to be confronted with allegations that her autistic daughter was being sexually abused — on the evidence of a psychic …

Fuck me. Makes me think this is even more warranted. Or, you know, a psychic-bankrupting civil suit.

This bunch have made something that looks as though it has potential.

...and congrats on the 20 years. My SO and I are passing our longer together than apart point in the next year or so. 'tis indeed a good thing™.

Awwww ... but you know he thinks he's lucky to have you too.

Just some times more than others (you know, when I'm not in rat-bastard freak mode), but I digress. To prove I'm either bonkers (or a Cylon), I not only have occasional interal dialogues, but when thinking of…

And the alarming story of a mother called in to school to be confronted with allegations that her autistic daughter was being sexually abused — on the evidence of a psychic …

Bizarre story that one. I am very impressed by the factual and sensible approach taken by the journalist…

You're not the only person who does that then. Every so often, I have this little voice pop up and say, "I hope you realise what a fortunate SOB you really are — because you traded all the way up. David – not so much." :)

Awwww ... but you…

PS: My darling and I are having a little dinner out tonight, to mark what is roughly 20 years together (not just knowing each other — that's pushing 30). I think regularly how lucky we are to have each other.

You're not the only person who does that then. Every…
