You’ve been lost on a desert island for 3 days. You find a radio in an abandoned beach shack, still works. You scan the channels looking for some distant flutter of life beneath the static. You turn the dial until the static subsides… it seems your whole life as been condensed down to those few gut wrenching seconds of silence. And then… a few snare hits. A guitar strum. Hand claps. A walking bass line? And then a voice: “Taking your tiimmmmmeee, to seeeeee, yourseelllllff.” “You’re giving it up.” “Odyssey.” You scan your surroundings beaming through a new veil of optimism. Hell, you don’t even care. Passive optimism. “Grab a coconut,” you tell yourself. “Stay a while.”

Saw this excellent GRUM remix over at LaFriendly. GRUM will be playing Cabaret Voltaire on 4th October. What? Am I going? Why yes. Yes I am.

This weekend saw the “largest ever gathering of clan chiefs” in Edinburgh for ‘Gathering 2009‘. Sounds like some sort of techno festival! LOL. Anyway, Prince Charles (known as the Duke Of Rothesay when in Scotland) and that came up to open the festival, which saw over 50,000 people and representatives from over 125 clans (scattered around the world). I always find it fascinating that there’s about 4.5 million Scots in Scotland but at least 25 million more of us settled abroad.

Don’t ask me what clan I’m in. I don’t have a fecking scooby. Anyway, back to what I do know. For instance, this is a banger.
