uhm. lets see. yeah ok. i grabbed my mini disc recorder/player ting this morning. for the record these are soo cool. the most common use i have for it is for allowing me to listen to vinyl on the move. so i grabbed that, and a pile of discs.
so the way to work this morning comprised of the latest loki releases - the herbst 9 12" and the split inade/turbund stumwerk which came out as a follow up to the saturn gnosis box. so a mix of moody dark ambient, slow drums and that kind of thing, to ease me into the day. which worked well. to round the MD off i had the alio die 7" from drone, which complimented the other stuff. i think the way home from work tonight will feature the two recent orphx vinyl releases. chalice is more dubby, but with that sound scape/bit work that orphx are revelling in at the moment. while the other one, which has gone and slipped my mind right now, is remixes from living tissue to some degree, so has more of a connection to that. both good releases though.
while listening to that on the train i finished off "the earthquake bird", which is a relatively short book. under 300 pages. i quite enjoyed it, a review will hopefully be written at some point today. though as i write this i am struck by the thought that it wasn't nearly as shocking an ending as it was made out to be by quotes on the cover. which leads to the question -whatever is?
hmm. something to think about. i'll maybe come back to that. though to be honest two things do come to mind that are shocking. a man fell between carriages of a train at glasgow central on friday night, the low level platform that i use every day. he became stuck, the fire brigade were called in to release him, the train had to be lifted. in the end he lost a leg. thats pretty shocking.
something else that was pointed out to me yesterday - a woman who one a sexual harrasment case for being groped at work got £178,000 award, while a woman who had her daughter murdered by a known paedophile only got £11,000. what a strange world we live in.
which of course is a cheery thought to end this little ramble on isn't it? oh well. just be thankful i didn't include the link to the discussion of pink socks i was reading half an hour ago. woo, that was shocking.
