These guys are just da bomb. Such good lyrics and beats, I must listen to Quality Control almost every day when I get in from work. Great pickmeup.

(If I could figure out how allmusic does its searches I would link more stuff up….)

My main man John has being showing off his skillz on the decks with the release of an album length progressive house mix. You’ll have to jump onto soulseek to get it, contact him (or me) for more info.

Meg of notsosoft fame has completed the digital move to meish.org. A very nice site it is too. So simple, so neat. It makes me want to delete all of my site and start over.

I’ve just got through sorting my Kansas holiday snaps, here you go:

or if you really don’t fancy wading through 100+ snaps here is a condensed gallery with my favourites:

Flash Mobs

we need an Edinburgh one!

hey sportsfans,
I is back, back in the UK. Managed to sleep for 15 hours last night. Damn, I needed that. I didn’t manage to take any pictures of the kerazy hail, but found a pic on one of the local newspaper’s websites:

Random quick entry from a web phone thingy in heathrow. keyboard is ass

“They name states, counties, roads, towns after one another.”
i.e. there is a Manhattan in Ottawa. A Reno county in Kansas. A California street in blah. I guess with such a big country you kinda run out of names for things and so end up repeating yourself and using 1st, 2nd, 3rd street etc.

Just spent the last three days on a road-trip through western Kansas, prime cowboy country. Spent a night in the infamous Dodge City, home of many a rootin-tootin mean gunslinger. Dodge managed to smell of processed cow the whole time, not a bad smell at first but it quickly becomes off-putting. Travelled along the Santa Fe trail, saw mock gunfights, went to a zoo, went to a Mall, ate food, then ate some more food.

Newest spotted lazy-American-invention: drive-through pay-phones.

Oh and new temperature high: 42°C (oh so hot). Also had a huge thunder storm with the biggest lightning I have ever seen. Damn impressive. Then while we were away there were hail-storms in Ottawa with golf ball sized hail. We came home to find trees shredded, almost every car pock-marked with craters and numerous windscreens smashed. We were glad we were out of town.

See You Cowboy

Local Time: 4:52pm

Well, we made it in one piece. I am currently sitting in the air-conditioned lovelyness of my Aunt’s basement in Ottawa, Kansas. No mid-air collisions or random mechanical failings. Total flying time of approximately 13 hours in three different planes means I was one tired bunny last night. Although bizzarely I woke up at 7am after going to bed after midnight. I’m thinking it might catch up with me soon.
So far we’ve eaten out twice and done some random shopping in Wallmart, and american is similar in some ways but then just bad-sh*t-kerazy insane in others.

Wallmart is a prime example, 5 litre buckets (literally) of ice cream, boxes of dozens of doughnuts. Plus the wallmart is about the size of two football pitches, sells everything under the sun and is open 24 hours a day

Oh and man, is it hot. You just just out of the air conditioned car and run to the air conditioned shop. It was pushing 35+ yesterday and it doesn’t really get any cooler at night. The heat is so bad, everything is made drive-through, so you don’t have to leave your car. Drive-through banks, post offices, movies. It’s mad.

I will report more soon.

“We have over-relied on people’s love of the product, rather than mapping a future career in bookselling…”

damn right!
