In a late addition to the bill of entertainments at tonight's Love Your Enemies, there is to be some form of raffle, with Mute goodies* to be won. I think it'll be a get-given-a-ticket-when-you-come-in job.

Among the useful lessons learned at

my_red_dream's housewarming - she has a tendency to confuse pigeons with poo, while her beau is a dab hand at drawing bomb turbans, even on such unpromising wearers as the golden-mantled tree kangaroo (possessed,

icecoldinalex claims, of 'shifty eyes').

"Mr Chirac said any subject matter that could hurt other people's convictions should be avoided." Well, that's one approach. On the other hand there's the quote which one sees attributed to many press veterans, in many slightly different wordings - I was first told it as being from Lord Beaverbrook: "News is what someone wants to suppress. Everything else is advertising".
(On which note, who's been editing Wikipedia?)

Among things making me cheerful today are dubnobasswithmyheadman (a listen this morning reveals that all the tracks are too long for LYE, but heavens it's still a great album), the supervillain Egg Fu (an Oriental supercomputer in the shape of a giant egg, who holds Wonder Woman captive with his moustache), the birthday card from Tuesday which was basically Brokeback Mountain with dogs, and Chris Oakley's abiding love for Millennium.

There's plenty of anti-psychotic drugs out there, but has anyone ever invented the opposite, a conscience suppressant? I realise it's not something your average shrink would want to prescribe, but I imagine it would be a godsend to the CIA or KGB, and they had neurochemists of their own.

*No, not including

A Nick Cave ceremonial dagger? A pair of Alison Goldfrapp's pants? Some Client leather trusses? A Depeche Mode portable bondage dungeon?

Dubnobass... is indeed utterly ace. (Frustratingly, I saw it in a CD shop at the weekend for £2 and was gonna snap it up to replace my tape copy, but it was too scratched to risk). I'm still confused as to how, if you listen to it, there seems to at least one more song than the total listed on the tracklist. Some of the stuff on the third album, whilst not quite as great, is shorter, and might be worth thinking about if you ever want to DJ any Underworld.

Alas, I only have that on tape - but yeah, 'Push Upstairs' and 'King of Snake' are killer. I did contemplate 'Moaner' for tonight, I have the single of that - but there was no time to give it a listen and check.

I have absolutely no idea what the Mute items are, so who knows, you may be in luck.

I've always thought 'Moaner' was fairly rubbish actually. It has a, er, good beat, as the kids say, but generally is a bit of a racket, and is a good seven minutes plus. Suppose there is the Batman connection...

Oh, I'll be returning the Sparks album tonight, btw.

Cheers!

The single has an edit on there - and believe me, as with Smashing Pumpkins' The End Is The Beginning Is The End, I like it in spite of, not because of, its connection with Possibly The Worst Superhero Film Ever.

Oh yes, Underworld are wonderful.
Play 'Cowgirl'! Not like I request that at every club I go to or anything. Or 'Dirty Epic'. Or not.

xxx

Yes but wonderful as they are, they're both far too long. Maybe if I had a two hour set or something.
(nb I do not have the CD with me today, so attempting to bring this to pass by braining one of the other DJs will not work)

I wonder where they could have come from...*ahem*

I believe Dave Gahan came down Jamie's chimney with them. Maybe.
