"I love pop music to death..... Most great composers rely on folk music. I rely on pop music. I'm not saying I'm a great composer or that pop music is folk music. There's a whole endless thing going on out there. You make your little pond but if your pond isn't connected to the river, which isn't connected to an ocean, it's just going to dry up. It's just a little piss pool. I've lived too long to be happy in a pond."
I found this in WIRE magazine over a pint in the pub last night.. its Robert Wyatt

In Rainbows
Hello everyone.
Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days;
meanwhile thebigask has set up an online video march to hastle the government to commit to cutting our CO2. which is a good idea i think. and you can post your own message. so i'll have to do that. once i've found me camera.
ever since Gordon Brown became PM they have gone a little quiet on this subject. i do hope rumours of Mr Brown lack of interest in climate change aren't true. we have don't have time such crap.

Rashaan Roland Kirk
Love Rashaan Roland Kirk. Apperently he was often dismissed as a gimmick, but check this out....doesn't even breathe. And he invented that talking/over-blown flute sound.....
Tim Hunkin's inventions, under the pier at Southwold. I keep trying to go there but not quite making it. Maybe you'll have better luck. Go to Ipswich and turn right.
depression is not fussy about who it hits. and feeling isolated and powerless doesnt help especially when yer young and all. this site has lots of people sharing their experiences which is what us humans need in order to cope.
“The relationship between photographers and police could worsen next month when new laws are introduced that allow for the arrest - and imprisonment - of anyone who takes pictures of officers ‘likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism’.”
The Chestnut Tree Café. ...it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.
Download books on to your Blackberry instead of using it to send email, 'browse' the 'web' or any of the other tedious business-related 'apps'. It'll still look like you're really really busy.
If only. People are beginning to question the idea of filling our streets with fast-moving metal objects that smell bad and make those driving them behave worse.
