just in case the previous post wasn’t that clear.
the reason for radio silence today was due to the fact that during the excitement that is the school run, in which i get my youngest into the institution that will teach him to swear properly, i misjudged a corner and upset the symmetrical lines of my car.
the 2.3 second noise that soundtracked my ineptitude would have been a brilliant sample for early industrial experimentalists, but in reality it meant a shitty day on the phone, in the garage, on the phone some more (understatement of the year), and the loss of a fair chunk-o-cash.
of course, now that the anger dust has settled (anger at myself for being such a dumbass), i am very grateful that neither my all too perfect little passenger, nor anyone else was hurt.
thankfully, i have never been one to have any pride over a car, nor, am i follower of the world of petrol related excitement.
in fact for the last 15 years since i have had to be part of the car owning race, i have held the opinion that cars are mere objects to get from here to there in, and a place to listen to sound music in when the motorway is grid locked.
what makes it all the more annoying is that yesterday was one of the best days blog-wise ever.
my inbox was rattling with exciting news all day.
well sort of.
first up, was the rekids related announcement that you all saw and made a note in your diaries for.
then came the information that the previously mentioned, and loved, rebotini album, music components, is going to get a uk release in feb’09 via those good people over at process records (they released the output records boxset following the demise of the label - so spot the obvious connection there and give yourself a shiny).
but then to cap it all, i received word that cabaret voltaire are back.
the ultimate 80s dark electro duo from sheffield who literally changed my listening habits (and therefore life) with the release of their sensoria 12".
well i say ‘back’.
a little more digging seems to reval that the name is as before, richad h. kirk working in a solo capacity with stephen mallinder in the background going, ‘thats good richard’.
a bit like the bands ambient-techno the conversation era before they split up.
this time though, the cabaret voltaire involvement seems to be all about kirk remixing an album by a new zealand band called kora.
more details on that as and when i hear more.
so as you can see, three chunks of excitement in a mere few hours in front of the computer.
yesterday was a very good day, and i went to sleep in the belief that today i was going to pass on all this news to the fact thirsty ireallylovemusic subscribers.
oh how the lord moves in mysterious ways.
still, you never know, tomorrow i may have even more news on another output records artist, and their workings with a producer known for his time on mo’wax.
output vs mo’wax.
now that’s a story you’re all surely interested in hearing ?
stay tuned, and stay on the right side of the road.
