maybe it'll just take a while to update. Whenever the trailer was uploaded, I still saw the old portal site for about an hour before it changed. Depending what browser you have it might be worth trying the equivalent "Reload Web Page&quo…

Why do they always do this knowing people are at work fuckers?? Yet again won't see this and be behind everyone else by the time I get to comment on it!! Annoying. Back to work. ~X( I'm at work too but they can wait for a few minutes f…

Therre are one or two moments in the strings that made me think of early Scott Walker, during the Scott 1-3 period? A little breath of Wally/Angela magic.? When we got a feel for the fact there might be big strings involved I did wonder/hope this m…

The Tea thread
Here's an idea: The GMB Tea Club's 1st Annual Brew Up. Those of us at the Mitre each bring some tea and swap it about for having brews while there! If you're staying there and want to join in then just bring some and we'll see…

Thanks, jozzy! Starting to get used to my Canon SX40 HS now and the 35x optical zoom really helps close in so well on such tiny things!

Mental health
I suppose so I think if one has the right tools they can stop it. Today and yesterday and day before that have all been bad days. I feel heavy in my head, lots of stress and dunno about "coping" To be honest I don't think it's…

Currently out taking photos of bees, butterflies and bathing birds etc. The blooming things won't stay still though! :D

Still seems weird seeing Will on stage rather than behind the scenes.

I notice nobody has popped round and slapped one in for a while? Is it too hard?

The Goldfrapp Band - 2013 edition
It's easy to forget how the line-up has changed over the years. Watch the 2001 St Malo gig on Youtube and try to spot known faces - you'll not need many fingers to count them!

Blimey. It's a whole world away......

Yeah, having not heard any of them it's really hard to pick any one out over the others. I'm not exactly going to be disappointed with the first chance for any of them! :D

What Are You Eating?
Granary bread that's probably a day or two past it's best makes for decent toast but falls apart far too easily once buttered a bit more to stop it being too dry. It's a fine line.

What's the weather like? It's like walking boot weather and that's good enough for me.

There is supposed to be the Killing Joke in dub album coming soon isn't there? Now that should be worth the wait ;) If you want a chuckle type "Killing Joke In Dub" into Google and see how long it's been 'nearly done…

Haha yes am a big fan of the Nephilim too and Submission is one of their best tracks love it :D I wish they'd done more - a lot of the band were big fans of dub reggae by all accounts. It's funny, actually - you often find a lot of meta…

Thanks for sharing Carp. The first cartoon was particularly enjoyable ;) I couldn't find a better version of the third one - it was only on TV once and I don't think they'll be showing it again! :))

What are you listening to now?
Ooooooh, nice! That's the sort I love - the huge drop-outs, the heavy reverb, use of space and a good solid bassline. You'd be surprised how well dub adapts to other genres, not just reggae. Old-school Goth metal, for example. No, honestl…

I have a lot of respect for a politician who's views I disagree with if they hold their views from a standpoint of honestly thinking they're putting them forward for genuine good or progression. I can applaud the intent, if not the substan…

Because, you see, he's such an easy target - like hitting a vile politician with a broad joke from long range.
