Started Doctor Who season 7 (of the new ones) I thought I had seen these but I haven't.

They are wonderful

Well corrected. Don't do it again. Fantastic album. Another star. Enjoy/

This is one of my favourite recent albums, and it's free! Download it at Ektoplazm, listen, love. It builds really well, climaxing with Nothing But Spirit: best track I've heard in ages.

Saw him at a beach bar once. It was better than I expected and he seemed OK, into his set and not a twat like I'd heard on too many forums.

For me cheesy is the same as catchy but with a negative nuance. It makes the music fun and easy to remember but quickly gets boring/annoying. Think of the 1200 Mics samples: I liked them on first listen as they were funny, but liked them less and less on subsequent listens until I hated the music. Cheesy. Instantly gratifying but void of lasting quality. Most pop music is the same for me.

Happy New Year I hope you all had a great 2013 and that 2014 will be even better!! I had a nice quite evening out on the town that ended up with Karaoke. New Year's day has got the year up and running. Already emergencies to mop up at work despite being closed for a week. Fun fun fun. Do you have plans for thus year? Just trying to survive another one?

On my way back from Kyoto. Fit in a little sightseeing before returning to Tokyo. Last night's party was everything you'd expect from a Japanese management party, lots of sycophantic suck ups pretending they could really appreciate the 200 grand bottle of wine and giving me disapproving stares when I commented to el presidento that it doesn't taste much different from a mid priced bottle. Lots of speeches, back patting, thanks for this year and please do more next years. 6 separate venues, didn't have to pay a dime.

I was listening to Bamboo Forest - Bamboo Forest in a bamboo forest

I went to that museum too, it was great and you get to watch an unreleased short. The only disappointment was that only kids were allowed on the cat-bus

5am here, just had a 4 hour chinwag with another disgruntled manager about the state of affairs. Nothing's going to change but it's good to get it out

Warhammer 40,000 war porn is high brow?

I'm heading into Kyoto for our New Year party. I believed that I would have this day off until 3 days ago when I was informed that I was attending. Didn't have time to book a bullet train and ended up on a much later than acceptable one in the smoking car. People really should never be aloud to smoke on a train, it stinks to high heaven here.

Pleidaians - Family of Light

Do you still have Darshan - Awakening?

I love Akira, GITS, Ghibli etc but I feel like it's something to be savoured. I cannot watch it too often.

I'm reading this http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13632835-betrayer Aaron Dembski Bowden is actually a very strong writer and has drawn me in with all his novels that I have read. This one about mindless beserkers could have been awful but I'm really enjoying it a lot.

Toto - Africa

^^^looking forward to that. That Phobium release looks great My favourites from this year or last year are Sync 24 Comfortable void 36 Hypersomnia Oxycanta III not sure when Hibernation did Tales of the coin spinner but that's phenomenal.

I've been away for too long but I'd really like to know some results from this...

I think it's like a tea strainer, but you put the loose tea in an enclosed ball and let it stew in the boiling water for a while.

Just woken up after falling asleep again in the living room. my back hurts

Man with no Name - Teleport

saw the novatek version of this in Shibuya today for $50 a bit much for the novatek version but still, it shows that there's still a decent demand
