You shouldn't be, they're harmless enough.

Just got the new Fall album, Fall Heads Roll, through so listening to that at the moment.

I was impressed to see Mark E Smith branching out into acting by playing a Soviet rocket engine designer in the BBC's excellent Space Race series.

(oh hey, Marcello, I'm fine thanks - my message of a few weeks ago was way too vague (I should have thought it through) - I lost someone pretty important to cancer)(so, really sorry for any confusion I may have caused)(keep posting what you are listening to)

Office stereo alternating between Sugababes album and 4AD compilation.

Oderquis Reve: Changuisero de Cepa. Not sure about this. Interesting but maybe "too Cuban" (like "too jazzy") for me. I'm trying really hard to like "Producto Changüi" because, thematically, it would make a great transition from another Cuban song to Colombian cumbia type thing on a mix I'm finishing up. The nasal coros in the second half are pretty great.

(Also, I keep wanting to correct the name: wouldn't "Orquedis" sound nicer, more Spanish even, than "Oderquis"?)

is subramanian a very common name? i've just read a privy council case by that name appealed from malaysian courts, how coincidental. it's key authority in australian evidence law that evidence of a statement made to a witness by a person who is not himself called as a witness is an exception to the hearsay rule and is admissible when it is proposed to establish by the eivdence, not the truth of the statement, but the fact that it was made.

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 8 October 2005 05:01 (twenty years ago)

I have tried to listen to the new Franz Ferdinand album but unfortunately keep falling asleep about halfway through.

Otherwise I am enjoying the current Ladytron and Paul Anka albums, as well as the superb new John Lydon retrospective ("Sun" from 1997 is a lost classic if ever there were one - Dufay Collective meets Leftfield to cover "Boy In The Bubble" remixed by Kate Bush). Am also feeling Prairie Wind by Neil Young very deeply indeed as it/he speaks of the kind of things which concern people of my age and above; as indeed in a different way does My Machine by Princess Superstar, especially its title track.

The Cagedbaby album I found in MVE Berwick Street for £2, and I am liking that thus far.

I am also listening to Buttercups And Rainbows: The Songs Of Macaulay and MacLeod which is full of wonderful obscure and not-so-obscure '60s metapop sides from the Lou Christie/Twyla Herbert of Britpop backroom songwriting. I will comment on this more when Tom comes to the Foundations and Long John Baldry in Popular.

Oh oh! I heard one song and absolutely loved it! So you'd recommend it? I should order it.

Jel: Someone called Jel has just texted the radio station I'm listening to and asked for the Futureheads' version of 'Hounds of Love'. Was it you?

― bingo (Chris V), Monday, 10 October 2005 11:55 (twenty years ago)

Agree on the Franz Ferdinand album Marcello, I can't get into it, it is so disgustingly ROCK!

I am currently listening to:

Sebastian Tellier-Politics (kind of off the wall but I like the general 80s feel of it, "La Ritournelle" still amazing) Also listening to the remixes of La Ritournelle, which are surprisingly great, one sort of P-Funk one and another electroclash one. Seems they saved the crap 4/4 ones for the forthcoming second 12 of it.

Madonna-Hung Up (Stewart Price's Eurotrance Mix)

James Holden live at Sonar 2005 (it's quite badly mixed but has live crowd noise like screaming and cheering, so much energy, and it made me think a little wistfully yesterday "I bet this set came after 10 hours of similarly hard sets, cos everyone sounds so completely fucked and it has that certain feeling to it, I wonder will I ever actually go to a festival and spend all day on drugs watching DJs again! Do I even want to?!?!?!")

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 October 2005 12:02 (twenty years ago)

Cubaton - Reggaeton a lo Cubano, annoying Cuban reggaeton (w/ a delivery closer to dancehall than PR reggaeton usually is).

Anna: Egads! No! I would have asked for "Monkey Business" by Skid Row. This other Jel must be stopped.

I listened to the Unicorns, Skid Row, Quarks, Philistines Jr and Alison Krauss today.
