The Hacienda Must Be Built
Just watched the BBC doc on Factory, which is a nice little starter guide to one of the most absorbing interests I've yet discovered... Some lovely contributions from Saville and the late, contentious Wilson, but not exactly must-see TV. I, of course, got terribly into it, but that's largely because I felt seriously crap at work and went home ( Read more... ) -

Dig, Lazarus, Dig!
I was convinced for a long time that I'd eventually love Nick Cave. I never disliked him, it's just that he and the rest of his motley bunch of grown boys never really got me, you know? Then in Rough Trade I'm listening to speakers while trying the MGMT album on the headphones, and it finally happens. The pre-release copy of the new album pinned me ( Read more... ) -
Jammy
So, £100 spent, and I'm getting Project No. 4 out within two weeks. It's actually really nerve wracking. A quick run-down: I'm printing 2'500 flyers on recycled card to be distributed around art shops and books shops. On one side is one of my polaroids, on the other is a short piece I've written. I really, really hope it all comes off alright. I've ( Read more... ) -
Last.fm
On my internet/desktop application trawl have finally caved (particularly after today's announcement) and gotten a Last.fm profile. If anyone's interested then I'm there as mrsheret

Design
Not my strongest suit, but the final design for the flyer is just about there. Realised while doing the thing that cut 'n' paste is the perfect way to finish the thing off, so I'll have a bit of scanning to do tomorrow before the whole thing's finished and I get results on this little experiment.

Working title
Just published the third of The Polaroid Press stories. Interesting that I started 'A Life in the Shape of a Room Named "POP"' thinking it would be one kind of thing, then looking at it, cutting away 3/4 of it, and turning it into something altogether different. And better. I like it when things like that happen. Fun times.
So, internet, how are you ( Read more... ) -
Telegram to brain.
It's been a long time, dear brain of mine, since you felt this way. Since a song crawled inside you and kept trying to burst out during conversation, during sleep, during mealtimes, during work. Several months since that strange, twisting sensation has racked you with spasms, whether the song in question is playing or not ( Read more... ) -
Oh Dear
Oh, forgot this from my post the other day and just saw something that reminded me of it: I'm amused that in 2008 Torchwood continues to be the show nobody wanted Scooby Doo to ever be. -
Expensive
An expensive week or so, frankly, involving all manner of travel possibilities and futures. To recount: Booked flights for my New York trip between April 26th and May 5th, a flying visit to Bath for Los Campesinos! on February 8th and (drum-roll) a year of use of the domain name http://www.
