hello and big up to you.

my last weekend in la before the travels.as some of you may know,its a big day on monday so heres hoping the weather holds so that we can have some serious fun outside.

i just got back from breakfast and a visit to culver city for some errands.
a ton of photographers today for some reason.such an unsubtle way to travel.
the police came to help out-sirens and everything-but theres nothing to be done-
its useless madness.

i noticed across town some posters for the record.which is ironic.i have always loved posters and every single record i have ever done,i have asked for them-and never got them.
i love seeing who has records out etc.as you sit at traffic lights and whatever,and so now in this current climate,i didnt even bother asking-and there they are.
is there a lesson in that?

i see weezer has a new record too.nice.
i went to amoeba records the other day and stocked up good and proper.long overdue.
im listening to nick cave and the bad seeds as i write this.
top form.
theres a song called moonland on this new record,with the excellent lyric-
“im not your favourite lover”
wicked.that mans on fire.

also finally got portishead-dark and darker.
also….calla,eno/cale-wrong way up,justice,goldfrapp,the klfgotta have a copy here,bonnie prince billy,cat power,frank blacki lost my other cult of raygrinderman,ashes dividecmon billyjack johnson so i can catch up,cornelius,autechre as it is out of print ,ellen allien,death cab,and thats about it.

i love checking the artwork.
listening to the record as it was intended and reading along.
thats the way i like to do it.

its how we want you to do it-
will you try?

i see that tim noble and sue webster did the neon sign for the cover of the bad seeds.
i like those guys a lot,they used to do those crazy piles of rubbish that when illuminated,created these sharp focus sculptures of them both against the wall.
brilliant.

check them out.

i have a ton to listen to.
better wake the neighbours.
or help them,i wonder what people around here listen to…..

anyhow,man utd have won everything-
the lakers are winningi know very little about basketball
and the sun is trying to come out.

come on.
just a little more.
and hang around some time
