Did you know...

that if you google "steve coogan being attacked by a crocodile" this blog comes up as the first entry? (A handy hint if you can't remember "Boycat's Dad".)

that I am listening to "Crescent" by Bitch Magnet right now?

that Boycat wants to be fed?

that Symo appears to have deleted his twitter profile?

that I'm now listening to "Soda Jerk" by Buffalo Tom.

that my broadband is getting flakier by the day?

that the song on my random windows media player is now "Blue Line" by Let's Active?

that I'm about to hit "Publish Post"?

More music more music more music

Here's something else I did last year. This has actual live guitar in it, rather than samples played on Hydrogen, although it has a lot of them, too. It's mostly another drum machine programming exercise.

102 bpm song

Stuff

I'm on day 10 of 35 days long service leave.

Boycat's Mum's Mum has cancer.

We almost lost the dog a few months ago; he snapped his ACL and was quite miserable for a while. But he's lost a bit of weight now so his quality of life is better.

BobSpeaking gave me the latest (Early 2008) Bob Mould CD for Christmas, so I've been listening to Bob Mould for 40 days now. Gee, the drum machine on the hubcap album annoys me.

I saw Dirt and Carl and Frank and Lorenzo at Id's funeral a few weeks ago.

I'm watching the end of season 4 of Battlestar Galactica on theSci Fi channel, so my mate Dave from work doesn't have to download it for me.

Holy crap, I've joined twitter

I only did it to follow Charlie Brooker and Stephen Fry, but that "What are you doing now?" box at the top is so tempting.

Vale Iain Clacher

For those who knew him, It is my sad duty to report that Id died last month.

I will never forget playing Interstellar Overdrive when he sat in with Slaughterhouse Joe. And who could forget the infamous "You're sacked" gig with Dirt and the Rebels?

American "Life on Mars"

He's not Sam Tyler. She's not Annie.
