Went for a nice long bike ride yesterday (she's a lovely girl...heh heh) and am feeling surprisingly good this morning. So blonde bit, no need to wheel me to the cafe this morning. Unless you want too of course. And it's summer, so except for the stupid twats in their cars reversing out of parks, it's all good. Lots of cute joggers. Mmmm.
I've just had some great service from a couple of retailers. There's a German music artist called Sylvan, and his album last year got rave reviews from everyone who heard it. So I ordered it along with the new one. Had some nice conversations with him as he didn't have NZ on his 'mailto' list. And the link from his website to Paypal went a German version of Paypal, which was a little confusing. The music sounds good from the samples I heard. It would have been cheaper to order from the CDUniverse or Amazon, but hey I'm all for supporting the artist. So go check him out here.
And the other example has been from the ever reliable Charles at Tonefloat records. Yeah I've even got the t-shirt... He presses lots of vinyl in small collectable numbers. And since he's done lots of Steve Wilson and Steve's various offshoots (Bass Communion, No-man, IEM etc) I've spent a fair amount there. The last vinyl I bought from him was damaged somehow in the post, so he's replacing it - and he's nice and friendly and helpful via email.
So go support the little guys. Sure the big boys are cheaper, but hey, personal service is so much nicer.
Am currently reading the complete short stories of Truman Capote thanks to the surreal JossieB. It's great. Nice and twisted stories which are a joy to read.
Well it's off to the lab to make up some SST now - having found out what SST is yesterday, thanks google. It's apparently SSC + tween20. There, you can all sleep better...
Word.

If only I knew what SSC or tween20 were, then I might sleep better.
Are you expecting the blond bit to read your blog for up-to-the minute information about you? If that's Marina btw, tell her I said hi. And that I don't condone you referring to her as a bit, no matter how tall she isn't.
not marina - the amester and she too is a bit of gods own loveliness as am I....
BB (brunette bit)
Hey dude, im only vaguely caring about SSC/SST and tween20. Apparently its not an age, or description of behaviour. eh, who'dve thunk it.
As to SDux: there's many brunettes in this world, you just happen to one of them...don't get uppity!!!
Smoochies to you both tho', me xxx
Heard any Isis?
Or Pelican?
billy: Pelican - no. Isis, if its the band which had Sylvain Gouvainaire (sp?) with Pete Trewavas and Ian Mosley (from Marillion) then yeah, I have it...otherwise, no.
Cheers, b
Dunno who the members of Isis are
http://www.viewauckland.co.nz/isis_live_music_gig_kings_arms_auckland_index.html
They are playing in Auckland on Feb 10, supported by Jakob.
The seem good from what I've heard. "art metal" whatever the fuck that means
Pelican are much heavier. They were like all the good bits about heavy metal strung together. Big riffing.
