Before anyone goes worrying, this is not for me, but it is very serious:
Does anyone out there know of a good (hell, great) defence lawyer?
I don't have that sort of connection / knowledge, but a good friend is in a tough place at the moment. Any advice would be very gratefully received.
Thanks, interwebs.
No, it's not Cat, nor has anyone flown to Dubai!

5:05 pm - listening to "Plastic Dreams - Jaydee" on Blip
|
|

2:52 am - Different Together (demo)
|
unfinished track, of something that should potentially be called "indie tech", and in which I was SHITFACED.
I sing like I'm retarded because I was about a litre of vodka later than the rest of the party...
I can still manage to program all the fucking breakbeats and manipulate and produce the basslines, I just sound I'm fucking educationally subnormal.
So glamorous.
DeathBoy - Let's All Be Different Together

Talking to Corben in my bedroom...
He totally understood that a mic is to be talked into, he just can't talk very much, and certainly didn't know what words he was meant to use for a sound-check.
This recording isn't super-loud, but because it's a relatively unadulterated recording from a field mic, it varies between quite quiet and QUIET LOUD (like, when Corben gets up close to the mic and talks), so please don't shoot out your ear-drums by turning up the volume to hear things.
This is the mic set to the lowest sensitivity, for near-field recording, and is stereo, but as I was mostly facing Corben, there's not much stereo imaging.
You can hear me quieter and deadened because I'm behind (holding) the mic :)

5:28 pm - last night a DJ shaved my wife
|
It is just possible that I have bought a Tonium Pacemaker.
Moo. Hah. Hah. Haaaaaaaaa.
If all goes well, I might be cruising for DJ slots in a few months.

12:07 am - A little bit of promo
|
Two tracks from the current album in progress that I'm fucking proud of:
Safety in Numbness:
(direct download)
( lyrics )
(I've been told it makes me sound like Zeromancer)
and
Buddhabox:
(direct download)
( lyrics )
Click the box, give 'em a listen, it's not all beeps and shouting ;)
If you like 'em, right-click-save the 'direct download' link for the mp3.
(oh, and click the heart icon, as I think it gives us votes of some kind. probably payable in badger anuses).

9:08 pm - Drink Me
|
"Drink Me 2" by Nicolas Caesar
I has bought an art :D
... I've been meaning to for ages and thought this one was particularly apt for me...
This is from the excellent Nicolas Caesar at scary-art.com (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nicolascaesar)
The actual piece is as rectangular as you'd expect canvas on a frame to be, I'm afraid that photo suffers from my inability to shoot straight. As it were.
Go there! Buy his things! (particularly at UK / US exchange rates!)
Now, when told that I patronise, I can say that yes, yes I do indeed...

Dear Nokia,
When running low on battery, my beloved N95 complains way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way too fucking much.
I could have just said "way too much", but I wanted to express the same level of "FOR FUCK'S SAKE, I GET THE FUCKING MESSAGE, YOU SHITBAG, SHUT UP, JUST FUCKING SHUT THE FUCK UP" as the N95 inspires in me in the time between it starting its cycle of emotional blackmail and when I eventually acquiesce and dig out the charger.
No love,
Me.

Just got back in from a thoroughly pleasant sunday of drinking Brick Lane dry with ed_dirt!
Christ's fucking trousers, that man outguns my story-telling 10:1 :)
Good to see you, man! hope you got home safe!
I was feeling like refried shit on the tube home, but as soon as I got in, I've perked right back up again!
Just in time for bed, annoyingly...
"A weekend wasted" and all they say... :D

Today, I have achieved basically nothing, other than chatting and reading rubbish on the global network of computers that I'm now calling the Jacksonweb.
Corben's sleeping over this evening, though, so his mom can get an evening off. I love having the tiny beast over to stay... though I hope he lets me sleep, I'm bloody shattered.

I seem to be unable to get into yahoo from Pidgin, these days, but meebo & their own client works.
Pidgin must do some things a bit weirdly, it doesn't log in to anything but gmail when I use my mobile connection, either (but other clients do).
This is gash. I really like Pidgin.
Any braniacs out there know what might be wrong? (I don't want to change client, I want to fix it)
Hmph, updating Pidgin got me a new error message saying I should log in to the yahoo website. Did this, reconnected, worked.
What a pain in the arse.

Is it just me, or is there a tangible sense of relief that now Michael Jackson is dead, we can all stop being embarassed by what he became, and return more easily to remembering him in his hey-day?

9:30 pm - Mr Producer
|
Am working on producing Alterred's latest album and just like the work on Xykogen's Terminology [free fucking album here], am yet again sitting here, grinning like a loon that I have the chance to work with people whose music I fucking love to bits.
While they very much have their own aesthetic, Mikey often seems to be channelling a lot of the things I adored about Jesus Jones, who were a seminal influence for me. Weirdly, I find myself gleefully waiting to listen to how the album turns out (despite, you know, doing it).
It's a pleasure to work with these bastards and their musical outpourings.

Woke up this morning and thought my PC had died - it didn't wake up from mouse and keyboard, and the fan was visibly stopped.
Turns out I turned it off last night.
I don't usually...
Check your PC fans are in decent shape, kids! I've lost a few CPUs to hot summers...
