Saw Aeroplane the Saturday before last. I say saw, I mean I was in the same room that he was DJing in and remember none of it.

Your assertion yesterday about this iPad being a quender was "on the money"

And EVERYONE would get an iPad if they could afford one, myself included. It's the only reason everyone doesn't have one.

Which is why most (again myself included) are hesitant to fork out five hundred quid for one. My cousin's got one, they're class for pissing about with on the sofa whilst watching tele. Also good when on train journeys or whatever. If half a grand wasn't a lot of money to you you'd get one without thinking.

At less than £250 they looked quite useful, if not as pretty.

I'm by no means a computer geek and pledge no allegiance to either camp in the whole Apple/PC quarrel, but I do like it switching on instantly and being ready to use immediately. Some effort has gone into making it quite slick.

But I thought they had next to no storage, so unless you write something and then e-mail it, you'd lose it.

Apart from work, where technical stuff like that is someone else's job, I only use computers for pissing about on the Internet.

I listened to that track this morning. You were also correct about that.
Try not to let all this go to your head.

Nice work.
What about Dr Octagon? Late 90s project, Kool Keith from the Ultramagnetic MCs and Dan the Automator.
Look up Bear Witness and Earth People.

Did you go to that? The line up was right up your street.

I love autechre (well, their early stuff, when they weren't strangers to melody).

I was much more of an indie kid then and there was a lot of hip hop, which I struggled to relate to (inc Public Enemy, El-P) having no real reference points. There was lots of nice electronica, Aphex Twin's DJ set was amazing and Sunn o))) just confused me at first, but I later learned to love them.

Autechre.
Started out doing crystalline, shiny, melodic electronica like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=eplM1QfyMsw
These days, strangers to a tune.

But for someone like that you can often get nearly everything they've done on one compilation.

And though I kind of enjoyed it, like I said - I had no real reference points. I'm a white, English, middle-class indie kid.
Monoliths and Dimensions was one of my favourite albums of 2010. I saw them play with Om in Birmingham and it was amazing.
