It is contagious...


The picture above is of the lovely Regina Spektor, you may know her from her work on the second Strokes' album or you may have heard her song 'us' on tv as it is featured on an advert for Sky (the one with the guy on the skateboard) and I like it... it reminds me a lot of Joanna Newsom... Whilst on the music front here is some long awaited news on Portishead's next album... Yay!

Musically related are these secret wall tattoos, I'm not 100% what the involvement exactly but Joss Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) has some culpability...

No more musically inclined links as we move on to more general trash...

Came across this website recently Fark.com which has some kick-arse stories that the bigger publications may miss... Genius is a word I am not afraid to use... although holding myself up to be one does somewhat diminish the term...

A bit like the 'war' on terror...

Or Scotland's P.R.

Not like the rest of us Brits get off any lighter in this document... how funny...

As was this although this confuses me as I'm gay, I have one older sibling and she aint no brother... what happened to me?

But then science and nature are wonderous indeed

Go figure.

I see, and I know, nice that after a good year's absence you return with this tirade... yes the world is shit especially if you have spent three months existing in the mindset of Cro-Magnon man... I suppose it's easier to regress than re-dress regression's balance.
I am more than anyone, anti-self promotion; I'd never make it in the world as an artist say...
Still your response is entirely your own... and if thine eye offend thee...

I would also like to add... talk about your knee-jerk reaction... Since hearing your diatribe, I have been motivated into a scene of such self-promotion, that Tracey Emin and Geri Halliwell have both been on the phone to complement my excessive behaviour, subsequently resign their post from the public eye in deference to a new and shiny star and generally bemoan the fact that you can't beat the PR for P.R.

So fuck you... is what I think I'm trying to say :oP
