Never Mention Information Technology to Me Again

Dead Computer

Jesus, this has been a little too much like hard work, hasn’t it.  Basically, because of the launch of Song, by Toad Records in March or April, and the approach of the Toad Sessions, I am trying to get everything neatly organised before things go a bit mental and I’m running around like a blue-arsed fly trying to stay on top of it all.  I’d rather have the hiccups now, rather than when I’m really trying to show off.

In any case, that should hopefully be all the cunting about over for the time being, and thank fuck for that.  I have nothing much to add, apart from to congratulate the three-hundred or so readers I’ve had so far today and on Friday.  How the hell did you manage to even find the site in amongst all my bungling?  Well, thanks for your determination anyway.

By way of not very much, here are some very, very good songs. Back before I went digital I used to compile all the best tracks from the random samplers I’d find on magazines onto mix CDs. A large percentage of the tracks on these samplers was generally rubbish, but some of the compilations I made from them hung together surprisingly well.  These songs are from one I made in early 2004.

Rickie Lee Jones – Little Mysteries
Randy Newman – Political Science
Shiva Burlesque – Do the Pony
Tim Buckley – Chase the Blues Away
David Byrne – Glass, Concrete & Stone
