Eraserhead

November 21st, 2003

The bizarre black and white art house flick Eraserhead sees director David Lynch enter Cronenburg territory – all weird gooeyness and prosthetics with a totally weird atmosphere. The wooden characters are typical of Lynch’s films. The lead character (Henry Spencer played by Jack Nance) is a man with hair that looks as though it’s been […]

The Best of Rod Stewart

November 19th, 2003

I got The Best of Rod Stewart out from our cd library today. Listening to it is making me feel sick.

Living

November 18th, 2003

Just lately I’ve been living a lot more often than usual. The process of ‘living’ is what the Deans and I refer to as that moment when you’re acutely aware of the time and space that you are currently occupying – the ‘here and now’ as it were. It can cause you to freak out […]

Playlist

November 18th, 2003

I like the idea of having a playlist section on my site that records what I’ve been listening to. However, I’m not so keep to manually maintain the thing. I want my PC (yes, it’s not a Mac) to publish my playlists to my server for me. This could be by way of an include […]

Removing empty space from hidden tracks on CDs in MP3 preparation

Possibly the longest title for a post ever buy hey-ho. I’ve been using a tidy little app to remove the unwanted silence between the last track on a CD and the hidden track some 30 odd minutes later. This trend started with Nirvana’s ‘Endless Nameless’ back in the early 90s. Bands are still irritating us […]

Kill Bill and b-sides

November 12th, 2003

B-sides recorded for new album: “Wise old monkey in a wheelchair”, “Bless Brian Blessed”, “Venus in gloves”. New album may be entitled “Just like soap” instead of “Subway to Venus”. Kill Bill: Excellent little film with stunning visuals and music. Can’t wait for vol.2.

The biggest show

November 10th, 2003

Out on Blue Six, the 10pm show, Mark and Lard, Mark Kermode, Will Self, Simon Armitage, The Shirehorses. The best bits. More quality items. Not this White Room – another one. Lateresque.

Matrix Revolutions

November 10th, 2003

Well I thoroughly enjoyed it. Shay hated it. My thoughts: Well written, well directed and excellent battle scenes. Lot’s to figure out and disect. Yes the original stands up on its own and perhaps loses something for having two sequels but what fine rides those sequels are. The meaning of the girl?: The Tradition of […]
