two of two - A Christmas Mix
In 2004 The Blacksmoke Organisation ran a "post-terrorism Christmas Shop". That year they released a Christmas record which was only available, on vinyl mind, from the Aquarium gallery on London on Christmas Day. This was the first post-KLF/K-Foundation track by Jimmy Cauty. As a result very, very few of the singles are in circulation. I've played the track a few times. At Christmas B-Movie the following year I dropped the song a little after midnight. It features samples from the live news reports during 9/11 and the Christmas Carol "Silent Night". Blacksmoke - Silent RATM - Killing in the name Blink 182 - It's Christmas time Less than Jake - Frosty the snowman No Doubt - Oi to the world Ramones - A Punk rock Christmas Zombina and the Skeletones - Transylvanian xmas Sex Pistols - Punk Rock Christmas Stiff Little Fingers - White Christmas The Pogues (feat Kirsty Maccoll) - Fairy Tale of New York Me First and the Gimme Gimmees - Auld Lang Syne (A-B mixed, in a hurry) A Fairy Tale of New York by Simon B-Movie |

one of two
Yesterday I had my work Christmas dinner; a polystyrine container with turkey and roast potatos served with a slice of stuffing and a pretty damn good institutional gravy. I ate it alone, in under ten minutes, whilst catching up with my blackberry emails one handed. Then it was back into the midst of a two day workshop on corporate structuring on one of my potential projects for next year. I've started to make sense. When I am challenging peoples assumptions and assertions I have started to notice that the questions I am asking cut to the quick, and that the ideas I come up with are treated quite seriously. This is obviously better than being shouted down or ignored, but it does imply that I am getting to that age where people assume I know what I am talking about whilst secretly I am still five years old inside. Last night I could not sleep so I sang some songs in bed. I started with the theme to The Jetsons, but I could only remember the last line, so I sang 1000 green bottles until Jules got up, went into the hall, crashed about for a bit, and then came back with a loaded 'Brown Bess' musket and suggested I stop singing. The fact that she did this without waking up is, in itself, impressive; but this fades into insignificance when you realise that we don't own a musket! Despite being sleep-threatened with a black powder weapon by my wife, I did not drop off to sleep, and I spent most of the night trying to work out how to solve a problem that didn't exist - a Halfworld crossword puzzel, the grid keeps changing and there are no clues. I want to write today. However between me and a wordprocessor there are eight hours of meetings and briefings and workshops and an icy commute. Post from mobile portal m.livejournal.com |

Mobile phones
Can anyone recommend a good company to order a mobile phone from? I normally used buymobilephones.net but they have been so appallingly bad of late I have vowed never to use them again and I highly recommend that no-one ever does |

I now hold the records for fastest fire staff spinner and longest time balancing a lawnmower on my chin. Many thanks to all who helped out, espc giolla, dave, kat and jo Current Mood: accomplished |

Mousin' aroun' with Neasden Postlethwaite
Oddly enough, the internet is filled with periodic tables of beer. It must be a growth industry, carefully hidden under the cat macros, pr0n, Top Gear torrents, Top Gear slash and loud, confident and wrong Linux weblogs. Why isn't there an electric Caterham/Lotus Seven/Westfield? (In the motor-at-each-corner and exotic battery style, rather than lead-acid and milkfloat motor one.)

New Year's Eve
I am DJing at both White Mischief and Beauty this New Year's Eve. Don't say I don't give you options... White Mischief @ Proud East I'll be spinning classical, chansons, hot jazz and other louche delights.  Beauty @ Canal 125 60s, 70s, 80s and alternative party tunes from the same stable as B Movie. For my sixties/seventies effort I'm going to play glam/garage trash in the vein of Jet Black & Bleached, I think.  Both are selling fast - grab your tickets while you can, so we can party! PS. There's also going to be a Black Plastic at the end of January (after payday!) but that still seems ages off so I'm not going to start worrying about it yet... |

The week in brief
I had some sleep last night. Not a perfect score worth, but with a solid 8/10 I feel better this morning than I have done for some days. College on Monday was fun. Teaching has finished, so it was all about handing in submissions and making a selection for next term. I was 'satisfied' with my piece for this course, but not as pleased with it as I was for the first one; that being said, my tutorial from last week was quite positive, so I guess I shall have to wait and see what David and Linda think of it. After the brief introduction to the options for next term, we had some pies and fizzy wine (no wine for me - driving) and then a talk from a chap who runs his own publishin company. I have started to scour amazon for books for next term. Yesterday was very busy a work and I very stupidly forgot to change the delivery address for some text books so they will end up being taken to my flat today, and then taken away again by Citylink - doh Post from mobile portal m.livejournal.com |

Copenhagen
Today I have been mainly hanging out with professional services companies and auditors. Indeed I racked up time with E&Y, PWC, and KPMG during the course of a single working day. The last of these sessions was at the London offices of KPMG. I was greeted in reception by a colleague. "You look like you are dressed to go to Copenhagen and cause trouble", he said, "You look like an anti-capitalist." "That's the nicest thing you have ever said to me." I replied. "What was that?" asked the woman from KPMG who had met us in reception. "N--- said I looked like an anarchist." "Well you do, a bit ..." she looked nervous. At this point the security guards came over to check, "is everything OK?" "Yes" she said, too hastily and they didn't seem convinced. "My colleague," I said, in my poshest tones, " has accused me of dressing like an anti-capitalist protester. And I was just saying how flattered I was; however your partner here has weighed-in agreeing with him and has just realised that she might have 'dissed' a client, which is why she has turned the same colour as the red stripe on the anarcho-syndicalist flag." "Very good sir", said the head security guard. Then we had a meeting and then I came home. |

Office Fire
Apparently there are some pictures on the internet, on a gossip site, relating to a recent office fire we had in our New York offices. Someone apparently took a picture of the damage and uploaded it to the internets. When I mentioned it in a meeting today, one of the directors said "9 million, apparently". To which I replied "9 million for that terrible blurred picture? You're bloody kidding me, it was an APPALLING picture! For fucks's sake, I tell you what, I'll set fire to YOUR office this evening, we'll get a proper hi-res picture of the blaze and some video footage, and in the morning we'll sell the pictures and split the proceeds 50:50". Silence. "No, I meant the insurance claim was 9 million. What's all this about setting fire to my office?" Current Mood:  amusedCurrent Music: (crackle crackle crackle) Neil! Your office is on fire! |

Who am I?
Don't Panic! This is not another emo-introverted post. I've put that behind me for a bit at least. I was looking at my LJ interests list and wondered how much it actually reflects me as a person. Of course it was never meant to be scientfic and equally was always designed to be public - both of which together destroy any real value. However it did prompt me to look at the authors I like, the music I listen to and the movies I watch. What better way to work this out than looking at my online data trail. Play.com has just reminded me of all the DVDs I've bought in the last few years and Amazon has ten years of my online shopping there for me to see. What I did notice were some wonderful trends and reminders of gifts - the odd book or two carefully chosen and posted to a 'special person' or bought for a birthday. It's like a little capitalist blog celebration. Now, if I'd I'd written down all the films I've enjoyed at the cinema this year. Hmmm. A lot of them are, unfortunately, recorded in someone elses blog I can no longer read. Note to self - keep your own data in future if you think it might be interesting. Current Mood:  contemplative |

Last night's dream…
Myself and some friends (about 4) were being held sort of hostage by some (female) lunatic with a revolver. First, she had us going through a scrapyard getting things out of car gloveboxes. The cars were mostly intact, but covered with stickers on the glass saying "this car will be towed away" and other such threats. But when we looked inside we could see that the car actually still had the driver, shot through the forehead, and the stickers were used to cover the fact that the car contained a body (and bullet holes through the windscreen). Next, myself and the other hostages had to sit in the long, thin kitchen whilst the female lunatic was cooking. I was at one end, and had a revolver in my Barbour pocket. Which the gunwoman knew, and had said she would shoot me if I went for it. So I had to surreptitiously flip open my Barbour pocket (whilst she was julienning carrots) and try and handle the gun through the lining to get the butt upwards (whilst she was frying onions) and then finally go for the gun and shoot at her (as she opened the oven door) but I got the gun caught in the lining and then the hammer got caught in the flap over the pocket so I had to dive to one side as she grabbed her gun and shot at me, and it took me about 4 shots to finally knock her down, by which time I had been shot once in the left hand side. And then I woke up at 04:30 and I actually DO have a chest injury in the left hand side - feels like a pulled muscle and I cannot raise my arm above horizontal and cannot take deep breaths. The odd thing is, as is usual in my dreams, I have NO IDEA who these people were - neither the mad girl with the gun, nor the friends also held hostage, nor the dead people in the cars. So… what does my dream mean? And who would like to come to a dinner party at my house? Current Mood: amused |
