busy little bee

Profuse apologies to my three or four regular readers for the dearth of updates recently. You know how it is, you start a new job, busy busy, got freelance projects in the evening, busy busy busy, no time to think of other stuff, let alone post witty and incisive blogs. But hopefully I should get back into the swing of things soon. Bear with me!

However, in exciting, nay groundbreaking news, I have finally gotten around to installing Moveable Type, and whaddya know, it wasn’t so difficult after all, and even seems to have been installed correctly, so expect some improvements round here any time now. Next thing you know I’ll be learning PHP.

I am really digging Pattern Recognition by the man Gibson. Giving me lots of ideas to try out at firebox.com. About which I cannot currently tell you, but trust me, they are cool…

Up In Flames by Manitoba (Torontonian PhD Math candidate and obvious genius) is simply awesome - a fantastic, fuzzy, lo-fi psychedelic laptop jamboree which channels the best and sunniest parts of Beach Boys, Mercury Rev, free jazz, My Bloody Valentine, frogs croaking, dogs barking and sparkling arrays of music boxes into a heady, dense and uplifting wall-of-sound. Sounding nothing like the current vogue of crisp, processed laptronica it is all the better for it. An early candidate for my soundtrack of the summer (along with the new Four Tet, Rounds). I feel a psychedelia-inspired music revival coming along…
