One of the major toubles with the internet, and the music business, hand in hand like, is that people in the latter start to think, what with their egos and everything, we are really interested that they have a little cold or that their sprog woke up at 3, 4 and 5am or they went for a pint. That happens to me all the time (or did do in the sprog stakes, now its more likely to be a call saying dad can you come and pick us up cos we're trashed and cant afford a proper taxi) and i can tell you, as pleasant as it is its not that interesting.



Case in point: Twitter. WHO CARES?

Probably the 740+ "followers" plus Jonathan Woss, John Cleese (!?), Stephen Fry and a chap from Coldplay.

Personally, I think twitter is a complete load of bollocks - same with Facebook, Linked In, Bebo and all that shit. But people seem to like it, or rather it is the in thing among media darling luvvie types or celebrities. I don't mind reading Lance Armstrong's.

Twitter entry. 18.45 GMT. I'm on the toilet having a dump

I've gotten in touch with some some once really good friends I lost touch with moving over the years. I like it for that.

If you love twitter so much, why don't you marry it?

It should be some strong willed asshole who believes he knows better than the band and will contradict them on every decision. Someone who might be in awe or too respectful will probably not get the results I am looking for when I purchase music*.

*That being said I have no musical talent or knowledge whatsoever so I could also just be talking out of my ass which has been known to happen from time to time.


Sounds like Rick Rubin.

Too bad Martin Hannett wasn't around.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

In Shroedinger's experiment, both Chuck Norrises would live.
