jus coz Ive said everything I had to say but can't stop typing

bwoy I've written a lot today. like.. more than in a month or two I think....at least quality wise, probably not quantity, but actual things rather than scattered everythings! almost forgot  was capable of that. woke up ridiculosly early (which barely never ever happens) and typed through nearly all day, spent some time listening to music being created by my favourite musicpeople and got inspired as usual to write even more and make some progress in the elaborate plan to overtake the world. one of the best ways of spending time: writing and scheming under inspiration of creativity happening now. if it wasn't my total determination that has me in this situation I'd consider myself lucky. ok I do consider myself lucky even if I'm not a fan of the concept. anyways would have written more if could but spent some time in a place where typing would have probably been seen as rude.
also, got somehow unexpectedly fed delicious food at a point when being fed was very nearly critical. anyways may even edit n post something at some point, you never know. ekh.  ekh.  yeah.....
also also, didn't get upset or too disappointed by a couple of potentially upsetting and disappointing tings... maybe. I may be in denial anyways anyways

on repeat: Blue Daisy - Psychotic Love

Mr Darko certainly lives up to his name with Psychotic Love. again.



EP out 10 feb on 37 Aventures

dear Domu please have lots of fun. we love you. life is good.


the master of my favourite genre of music: ain't nobody ever done before but ... sound like something that's always been there forever [Quik] (and, incidentally, one of the reasons why I always stutter when I'm about to say 'ah.. no thanks, I don't like DnB') Dominic Stanton is back on the scene and he's now making beats... for fun. what was he making beats for before? well, putting it simply, for us. for a certain type of person, for people who didn’t want to adhere to the ‘normal’ way of life, the free thinker, the independent or open minded type who was bored of the genres, the staples, the blueprints or the formulae. The underground. Stanton used to be a man on a mission. it ended rather abruptly and dramatically on November 14th 2009 with an announcement saying, basically, that he's veered off the path too much, started letting himself down, lost the hold of the torch and is done, good bye. more than fair enough, a blow nonetheless...

and now he seems to be back. good good news indeed! have fun g is all we ask!
