my fave 4 tracks of the year so far

white lies –

doves – kingdom of rust (still going remix)

empire of the sun:

metric – satellite mind

stunning white lies video and ostriches

polydor have still not learnt that by not allowing embedding of videos on websites mean that their artists are not being promoted to a wider audience – what they fail to understand is that anyone with half a brain can download the video and then re-post it on the net – thereby taking away hits that would have otherwise gone to them

(i used to work for polygram/universal – polydors umbrella company)

so here we go

i love this and think it deserves to be seen by a wider audience

nme radio – a year on

i think it was june 1st last year that nme radio starting broadcasting over the net – i didnt like their first tune but forgave them when the programming came through

prior to nme i went through various radio stations since capital radio took over xfm in the late 90’s, but always ended up getting pissed off for one reason or another relatively quickly

i listen to radio all day so it cannot be obviously repetetive – and its hard to find radio that isnt

now at 1am i’m in a situation where i want nme radio to play a couple of naff tunes so i can turn it off and go to bed – so they play rem and ride… great…. thats going to get me to turn off

ministry of sound iphone app

forgot to update – after a phone call from their head of legal and business affairs, ministry of sound have decided to remove their ibiza wifi hotspot listings from their iphone app – cant possibly imagine why

Metric – Satellite Mind

I just absolutely adore this track – i just want to hug it and snog it – the sonics on it are amazing

sonics metric – satellite mind

i absolutely love this – it has power, lyrics and sonically great – i love it – (not sure if its the full version but this will do in the meantime)

the music

i loved their album and its always interesting when you come back to something a few months later and wonder whether you still like it – i LOVE it – am going to try and work out where i go and see them live – its something i have to do

history

i was

oh bloody hell just as im about to write some wonderful prose – suede so young comes on the radio and i forgot what about to say – then gods children by the guttertwins comes on

it’ll have to be another time

the quote

how come the quote ive loved for best part of 20 odd years appears nowhere in google ?

i googled the quote again and obviously my last nights post comes up

but where did it come from ?

as an aside i’m sure i faxed this to ed bicknell in mid 90’s, manager of dire straights, who loved it

there is only one truth

i saw this following quote on a friends wall about i guess 20 odd years ago. it was printed on an old piece of paper as though it had been ripped out of a magazine. i loved it.

first thing i did when i went back to work was to put the phrase in a word document the same size as the one i saw – ie a4 landscape – i printed it and got it framed

for a reason i got reminded of this qoute today so i thought i’d google it as i figured it must have been quoted by someone and that she had liked it and stuck it up on her wall. as it turns out i can find absolutely no reference anywhere of anything even remotely similar –

so here’s the quote:

there is only one truth and that is that life under capitalsim is shit and only drugs, loud music & fucking make it bearable:

still got the original piece of paper framed
