i love being able to use my blog as a way to clean
out my IN box and to share shit with you all...
here's what i've found out this week...
my mate jason paulos will be featured
in a li'l special about australian comics on this
week's 'mondo thingo' on abc (which is no use to
you if you live outside of australia - but you can
check out his work at hairbuttthehippo.com.
and sydneysiders should tune into the glorious fbi
next tuesday (3rd) as i'll be digging through the
man's record collection when i guest present 'out
of the box' from midday-1pm [plug, plug, plug...]
according to better
propaganda, the new two lone swordsmen
album "reconfirms its ability to take modernist
beats to the darkest of places like their forefathers
suicide, kraftwerk or perhaps gary numan".
i've got a copy and i'd probably agree, just to
be lazy.
rough trade have signed cornershop
and describe their new release [the first in a few
years] thus: "'topknot' is a sugar sweet asian
pop nugget with vocals from bubbley kaur who tjinder
and ben met at university in preston. the track
is already a firm hit at indian weddings and on
urban radio. it has the potential to be a big tune
for the summer." so now you know. about the
indian weddings i mean.
join the modular
people mailing list and you can check out some
new audio'n'video from those loveable sampleadelic
aussie artistes the avalanches.
london photographer sarah duncan
has built hersel' a new
website and damn fine it is too with some amazing
architectural images from around the metropolis.
no more to say, other than i sent off for
the new throbbing gristle cd 'tg
now' - the first tg studio material in over
20 years - and i'm listening to it right now. i
am, as they say, worshipping the glitch and by fuck
it's good.

it's tough trying to be professional /
funny / yourself simultaneously, especially in the
context of an 'industry interview'. anyway, i tried
my best - here's an interview with yours truly from
'australian music online'

digging in the crates again last night,
for round 2 of 'crate diggers', this week playing
tunes from 1990 and 1991. another fine time had
by all and thanks to everyone who called in during
the show - especially to bev, who said 'you've made
a wee girl from the sub club very happy'. 13 years
and 3,000 kms away from glasgow at this time + this
place and still you can make a connection! it's
a small world for sure... ("but i wouldnae
like tae paint it!")

i've just been through a few random tunes
on my iPod and i've just realised something odd.
seems that i've been inadvertently enjoying
some filthy pop music of late. so, the only way
to cleanse myself of the shame is just to go public
with such guilty music pleasures, so here goes.
i confess to having enjoyed girls aloud
'the show', rachel 'i
was once in s-club 7' stevens 'some
girls' (methinks the girl has been listening to
goldfrapp a little too much) and
(yup, hit me, go on) frankie's
'fuck you righ back' - i just can't get enough of
hearing 'fuck' so many times on one song on prime
time cable television. good on ya, girl :-)
to cleanse your mind of such things and
to freely download some honest-to-goodness weird,
art rockin', glitchy, downbeat beauty - head over
to fat
planet...

it's been a testing time this week - no
internet connection. which, for me, is much like
having no toes. i can walk ok, but i'm a little
orientated. and i look like a freak too.
this morning i filled in for jess keeley (fbi's
breakfast show host) as she was on her sick bed.
it'll be fun (i thought) - get about five hours
sleep, get up at 5am, on air at 6, and then interview
ben lee at 7.45 with a live phone cross from sydney
to montreal at 8am. what could be easier? well,
i think this morning will be forever known as my
'ben lee moment' - when technology fails and all
those hours of training go out of the window and
you're left (as my mate roddy would say) 'like a
treen in a disabled spaceship' (ok, it's a dan dare
joke, limited audience). needless to say there was
about 20 minutes of hideous radio this morning where
everything that could go wrong did go wrong, finishing
with me asking ben to whistle to fill dead air,
while i desperately tried to work out what the hell
was going to happen next. ah, these things are sent
to build character, right? or sent to give you a
punch in the stomach, one of the two...

here's how the story goes. phena, duncan
and i record some music and post it anonymously
to the radio station i work at (fbi
94.5fm). next thing we know, the
demo gets playlisted. every one comes clean,
much swearing ensues and we all go home happy. to
download the demo (three tracks), go
to the new 'mammalian' page.
