"It was a good day. I didn't have to use my AK."

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO - what a BUMPER day for COOL music!!!!

Music goodness number 1! Wayne (http://www.ploom2.com) brought in the M.I.A album.



I'd seen them on the Gastonbury footage on BBC3 and thought they were pretty interesting. Well - the album is really, really fucking good. It's kinda like a heavy dancehall version of Fannypack (hold your breath now) - which makes it right up my street. It's cool, it's funny, it'll have you shaking your ass on your daily commute. Fav lyrics so far? "Tight like J-Lo in her jeans. Tight like R. Kelly in the teens". Genius.

So I hope you were holding your breath cos... Music goodness number 2!



I'd almost forgotten I ordered this, but direct from the source it's the "Fannypack - Ghetto Bootleg". WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

A collection of unreleased Fannypack goodness. And my God it's good!!! Listening to it now and what with the earler MIA goodness - this is making me feel all 'loved up' by blissful tunes. Some old skool jams that rock the block. Some remixes that touch the spot. Some Fannypack pics that make me hot.



Fannypack's new album is out now (in the US - GRRRRRRRR, but I picked it up while I was out there). Go get it!!! Big thanks to Matt for sending this out :)



Go here (http://www.myspace.com/Fannypack) to slip dollar bills in Big Black Matt and Fancy's thongs ;)

Music goodness number 3! I picked up The Faders single (CD2 and the DVD for Faders watchers). CD2 has a great remix of No Sleep Tonight on it (yes - it's better than mine, but hey - I didn't have the masters :P), but the remixes of Jump are a stretch. It's a hard track to do anything else with. It is what it is. So for a taste of pop rock in a 'Josie and the Pussycats' stylee (and you know you just want that!), go buy that too!



Music goodness number 4! (yes there's more). Okay - so I'm a million years behind on this one, and I blame Wayne (ploom2 etc...) for saying this sounded like The Pet Shop Boys, but I spent the whole of last week listening to one album, "The Postal Service - Give". Amazing album. I didn't like it that much at first, now - can't stop listening to it. Enchanting.



Okay. Other random Medulla Corp stuff. I finally cleaned up my studio. It was a real fucking mess. Now it's CLEEEEAAAANNNN.



And I spoke to a long lost friend last night. OFICIALLY THE CUTEST GIRL EVER TO WALK PLANET EARTH! JYUUUUUUUUU - my friend from NEEEEEEEEW YORK.



What's more. SHE'S LEGAL NOW - so I don't feel like such a dirty old man perving over her ;) (kiddin honey :P)



Her BF is TOTALLY CUTE TOOOOOOOOOOO!

And as if all that wasn't enough, Martin kindly donated his Japanese Dreamcast to me!!!



I blew mine up plugging a PS2 dance mat into it (don't ask). Now I can play Capcom vs SNK 2 again and lust after the lush manga breasts of Mai!



Days like this only exist in my universe. You wish you were me :P
