He’s a vegan. He’s the bottom of the food chain. If early man was a vegan, we’d be slaves to fuckin’ daffodils. He’s also wrong about Risotto. You can more or less follow his recipe, but take...

Lo! Fidelity - Record Store Day Rant
Ever seen High Fidelity, or read the book?
Essentially it’s about a record store owner being an idiot and really actually deserving to lose his girlfriend as A.) he was a bit of an ass, and B.) he had a ‘problem’ with this music thing because it is all-consuming.

But apart from that - contained within there were a horrible amount of truisms about how cool record stores are....

The Static Cult Label →
…is a Seattle based label (now possibly defunct?) with a style which makes it hard to not like them.
Lots of weird, offbeat, limited edition ( who doesn’t like limited editions of 30 described as “not for the timid”, or hand sewn cd sleeves? ) and often free music to check out. Home to Fotosputnik, Chicago based Krautrock devotees.

F.D.R & assorted twisted history.
American history came back with a smirk today. I remember I nearly fell over from being told that it was a legal requirement to do a YEAR of American history in order to graduate from high school, and being looked at incredulously when I enquired (honestly) ”But how can it POSSIBLY take that long?!”

In the UK the average shoe size is 9, which is 10 in America. Here it seems to be 43. That’s 34 more. Ah, so clown shoes originate from the continent. I see now. Still, despite being 34 sizes too big they seem to fit perfectly,...

Tiramaissues ( one that almost got away )
Back once again. If you ignored the location you could easily be fooled into thinking you were somewhere. You are always “somewhere”, and as they say - welcome to wherever you are.

Today has been a good, solid, grounding day, back in the saddle and it feels good. It began sleepily, but beautifully. There is no price that can be put on ease, nature, and the value of planting kisses on...

sit and spin.
Spin magazine’s main reviews section is now on Twitter. Yes, that’s as you might imagine - most new albums are now reviewed in 140 characters by default. Aren’t you glad you spent ten minutes making a new album and threw a bunch of random shit together? A real review is now referred to as “going long”.
