Last night while working on this my upstairs neighbour did that loud annoyed stomp thing that means "turn it down you arsehole!" Well, it was only quarter to 11 dammit... Usually I make 11 the watershed hour when I turn it way down so people can sleep... Is that too late? Am I being an arsehole? Is he just intolerant? It seems that I have so few hours in the evening to enjoy myself after working!

The Knife - I loved those steel drums and kitschy micronesian melodies from their first record (cue heartfelt acoustic covers from i-really-mean-it-man singer songwriters being advertised on terrestial television), they could have followed the electro formula and released deep cuts 2, but instead this is quite a change in sound and all the better for it.(00:00) 1.

I'm not seeing a lot of activity around with releases etc. so it's quite difficult to get the material together for a show. I'll publish something as and when it's possible.

Show 26. Thats 6 months of putting out a show each week, so it's time for a new format.

I went to this gig the other day, an XFM presentation and a fundraiser, featuring a bunch of popular British rock bands from the last year. I was totally un-moved by the parade of similar mediocre boys-with-guitars rot. Even their moves were poor. Did I ever really enjoy that stuff? Today I wonder if I were faking my affection for the style. As if I felt obliged to like this music because once I

Now, I enjoy list making and discussing others lists as long as the debate goes beyond "how could [insert whingers favourite band here] only be number 32?!??!!?". But to think that the lists published in magazines, magazines owned by huge media conglomerates, might not reflect the actual selections of the staff? A damaging accusation to be sure, since they do suggest that the list is from staff

I really like this new Britney song, it's great electro-pop and I could easily see this track on the Rachel Stevens album. The problem with the song, along with several of Ms Stevens, is that the chorus is too overblown, quasi-hi NRG cheesy. What I like about these sorts of songs are the slightly cold detatchedness of the synths drums and strings, coupled with the personality of the female

Ahhh, Mariah, I fucken hated your songs growing up what with that awful 90s pop production and terrible rnb wailing getting in the way of any fun breaking out. But now, oh now, you don't have to show off your eight-octave vocal range on every song (well actually you still like to hit those high notes but you leave it for a wordless cry that sits happily in the background merely adding texture)

We already played this Lindstrom song over a month ago, but it was hidden at the end of a difficult show and we've recently come to appreciate the track as more than just another throwaway electro-house number- that it's one of the finest examples of the genre.Walking home yesterday evening, heard someone in a third floor flat playing the new Rachel Stevens record for the whole street to hear.

and I shouldn't work on assumptions from filenames when downloading music off the interweb!From bitchpork:"Robyn Carlsson gets confused with Robin S of "Show Me Love" fame. (Not helped by the fact that she also had a U.S. top 10 called "Show Me Love.") But she's best known for "Do You Know (What It Takes)", which also went top 10 over here in that late-90s moment when anything with a fake r&b
