I have something despite the light a flood of Stuff of epic proportions I want it to say something else underneath All iller no filler projections are digital, dancing is optional wearing oversized glasses right we will leave it at that

I'm declaring a prior interest here an engagement with the retinal and digital warning - contains an image of Sean Connery My computer briefly froze, or hiccuped I didn’t know what to make was probably a bit too keen on Paprika I've got fresh goods on the way

Weds 21st April I believe there might be a connection between the real and possible cities that I had never seen  in such a detached, impersonal way I can't believe so many buildings and people can fit on that tiny little island

Weds 21st April what's it like outside? came out good not perfect make a choice cinder and smoke

Tues 20th Apr Today a picture I await your compliments maybe you’ll be persuaded Take over the theater picking up coffees on the way cleaning homes and counseling hoarders So....they knew each other? we sipped pimms cups, gimlets, ellisons print is not entirely dead here

Sun 11th April 5 years, 4 moves of city and 2 degrees later I'd just written a crappy few lines  discovered underneath some top secret catholic dust at the nordic tables  play, listen, evaluate, praise, move along

Sat 10th Apr four hundred chaps in herringbone makes a madonna song sound awesome

This one's all linked up.  All blogs I'm following Fri 9th Apr so here's a game at the office guess you all know  anyone can make tiny skulls a hundred at a time  the growing season  would be good therapy visibly human  don’t make me break small saving being in the world

Thurs 8th Apr can you tell that this is the worst a free-jazz-virgin can’t be good 2009, adventure it's oh so very real Installing mr clicker  if anyone cares lucky for all of us look so cute with a tank top and jeans

Mon 5th April 2010 What a cute way I started  this little piece to mix things up  in case you couldn’t (Is there anything more? just one half left) blew out my knee for the summer  Which color would you choose?  (I think I'd go for mustard yellow.)

This extracted from blogs I'm following Mon 5th April 2010 artist knitting, yarn bombing no space for liminality  large and complacent special with tracks content-aware added some color I’m enjoying this I hope its okay I miss everyone

Found a music player So here's a selection of stuff that doesn't get a listen as it's on vinyl in the offage modern lovers from my dad's lp collection David Byrne track from the catherine wheel French Frith Kaiser Thompson track: I was looking for "a blind step away" but this is fun And silence from Liberation Music Orchestra

Here's a band I'm in We had a lovely rehearsal last night playing Steve Lewis' interweaving polyrhythmic grooves don't you know He composes screwed up but pleasing 6/8s that pull you around, mess with your mind and make you bob or bop Tractatus more here myspace

http://music.sutros.com/songs/4392/post_breakdown.mp3 here's a tune that appeared in my head today after jump starting the white car with the green one thanks to wise Ant's earthing guidance please listen with headphone's if you're jen I have lots of short tunes which I'm happy to keep small and collect some are composed with Hugh Nankivell here  www.myspace.com/burstfaun  but I'll try not to mention it too often here

Neil C Young Trio at Stonewell Tavern in Lancaster last night were lovely and lively Jazz but loud and generous to the audience. Tunes and tangible shapes. Pensive and positive. New tunes were all in 7/4 and more go get it here: http://www.emusic.com/album/Neil-C-Young-Where-s-Yours-MP3-Download/11858622.html Stonewell seems to be some sort of social experiment. Harmonious co-existing class/age split from bleached school kids and students to confused ranting yet appreciative ex army cankers
