and as things fell apart, nobody paid much attention

david byrnes new show looks a lot like stop making sense. in the past few years david byrnes picked up his game so much. all of his 90s music is really just bad, but in the 21st century he works a lot better, its a time that suits what he's all about. glass, concrete and stone.

i live with a solipsist, someone who believes he is the only thing that exists. i was trying to think of a joke about this, but i cant. i bet woody allen could.

heard a child say 'humdinger' today and it filled me with joy.

theres a pub here in aberdeen called 'the illicit still', which is such a lovely use of words.

bit pissed off at burial revealing his identity cos of the mercury awards and then not turning up, so he sacrificed it for nothing. i loved burials anonymity. he once said that only about five people knew he was burial, and presumably they must have been industry people, so not even his family or friends know, which meant that burial could have been ANYONE i knew, and i loved that idea. in a way he was like a real life superhero, someone doing great things but taking no credit for it, just another member of the moving masses like everyone else. big shame.

heard 'i believe in you' by kylie in a shopping centre the other day, and god ive never heard a song fit a situation so well. its that chorus, its sounds SO perfect tumbling through the stiff, stagnant air and around the soulless white walls of a shopping centre. genuinely amazing moment

also saw a pub here in aberdeen called 'filthy mcnastys'

i cant believe how much the guy from that beggin' song sounds like steven tyler, everytime i hear it (which is a lot) i momentarily think aerosmith have had a hit single, which of course they have not

i was gonna say something about how its also unlikely that aerosmith would collaborate with a rapper, but its actually not...

advert just came on the radio that began with, "hi, i'm hugh grant, and i want to talk to you for a moment about dying"

if ever a sentence cried out to be sampled more than this...

i'm really into this that fucking tank set right now if anyone fancies downloading. i'm momentarily sick of house and so its sort of filling in for the house sets that i used to listen to, in a lot of ways its pretty similar

russell brand is just the benny hill of our generation
