Aaaaaaaages back the incredibly talented Mr Hopkinson made some smiley/emoticons for the vinyl vulture forum…well I’ve just found them so I thought I would pinch them and use them here.
So now you can marvel at the pixel perfection too!
:) :D :smile: :( :O :shock: :? :| :idea: :cry: :evil: :cool: doh
Do you like records? Can you come to london on the 2nd Monday of every month? If thats a double yes then you need to head down to the Salmon and Compasses in Angel from about 7:30pm onwards.
We have a monthly meet of vinyl junkies and an open decks policy…so drop on by. This months Brillo is tonight…yes I know its not the 2nd Monday today…because we had a shift….but it normally is. So come on down!
I think BBC4 is the best tv station at the moment – It’s really sinking loads of money into great factual programming. We’ve had the ‘Jazz Britannia’, ‘African Rock ‘n’ Roll Years’ and now currently showing every monday is ‘Hollywood UK’.
The first two episodes were a great insight into how the UK film progressed through its early years – tonights episode focuses on the 60′s and the ‘swinging london’ era. Set your videos on stun.
I’ve been banging on about Dungen ever since I heard ‘Ta det lugnt’ (Take it easy) last year. Yes they are swedish, yes they are pretty much prog rock and yes they are bloody brilliant. They did a few small gigs here and there but now because their lp has been picked up by ‘memphis industries’, they are doing a lot more gigs.
If you can get to *any* of these gigs, you will not be disappointed.

About 2 years ago at the Big Chill, Strictly Kev (aka DJ Food) rescored a film. That film was ‘Head’ by the ‘Monkees’…this film is insane. Its like a good acid trip of film. I’m not joking either!
It blew my mind when kev rescored it live, and it will blow your mind in the comfort of your own home as you can now watch its warped genius over and over again…and rock out to kevs amazing audio work.
Just email – i-want-head-please@hotmail.com asking to buy a copy. Trust me its well worth the 10 squid I think they are going for!
Well I thought it would be fun for friends to show each other amusing photos of each other…So I created deBunked.
You can upload images, vote on them, add comments and do lots more. Good fun!
So I was talking to my dad today and he told me about this story of an iraqi sniper who was working his way through the entire american army.
Well a little googling kicked up a guardian story that nobody knows if its true or not.
Hey.
Right my domain was languishing in some sort of elephants graveyard for about a year so I’ve finally decided to stick wordpress on here and get posting. I wrote my own publishing system just to see how hard it could be. And to be honest it wasn’t. I had it up and running in about an hour and everything was lovely. Then I started looking into rss feeding and thats when I turned off. ;)
So wordpress does that. And does it well so thats why I’m using it.
