Words can't even begin to describe how awesome this is.

Tubular Bells II - it's really rather good, although it does sound rather more dated than the original, if indeed that were possible; there's a lot of synth stuff which just screams 'late-80s, early-90s' (it was released in 1992)

Best of all, the Master Of Ceremonies is Severus SnapeAlan Rickman ;D (nowhere near as good as Vivian Stanshall on the original, but an adequate substitute)

Strangely enough, there are hints of that in TB2 - think Mike Oldfield was living in Ibiza during the 90s.

I uploaded a pile of stuff onto the Nexus 7 last night, but bangin' techno is notable by its absence. Think I'll have to remedy that.

Today I am rocking out to the brilliant Halestorm.

I may have a thing for the singer, whose voice cuts right through me (in a good way) that makes my spine tingle.

Thanks for that - they are rather good. In the Roundhouse tomorrow, eh? (no, I know I won't go - I would have once upon a time)

I'm listening to my friend Chicky and Jason from San Francisco in their incarnation as La Fin Absolute du Monde. If you like your music dark, trip-hoppy, experimental ... you might just like them.
They're touring the UK on a budget, using Megabus FFS!

Here's Leave Me In Detroit

And, as a shameless pimp for the poor merkins tryin' to live the dream, here's a list of their dates. Quite a few in Scottishland. Then back down to me and Jaded's neck o' the woods. I expect they'll be staying at mine to save money before they get back to That London.

If you google around, you can find some of their more, errr, 'experimental' and NSFW video stuff.
They're really lovely people, the gigs are cheap as chips, go on, take a punt on 'em.

Very much enjoying the new album from Woodkid - really quite different to anything else out there at the moment. Very interesting, both lyrically and musically. This is probably my favourite track:

I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses.  Still sounds as good as it did in 1989, especially when the song opens up and Ian Brown finally breaks into "I am the resurrection and I am the life".
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.

Aphex Twin - the ON EPs on the smaller hi-fi quite loudly.  Really about my favourite era of his and that fat distorted kick drum is something else.

Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!
