Unreliable information since 1972
Related to an idea that smacked me in the head this morning:
Anyone know somewhere I might look to find archives of talk radio from the american midwest in the 30s-50s? Ideally, late night madbastards talking about their strange delusions? Think of the radio broadcasts that cut in at a couple of points during GYBE’s “Lift Your Skinny Fists…” if you’ve heard it or the sound of a small, broken person reading bits of Gene Ray’s Timecube, it’s that sort of thing I’m after.
Anyone?
ewa really liked it. I on the other hand, was left annoyingly unmoved. Every bit as visually lovely as the trailers make out, but it never quite came together emotionally for me.

A side-splittingly savage review of Heston Blumenthal’s new cookbook.
Specifically, via cairmen, we find Bruce Sterling’s list of quotes from IDEA2006.
I feel this quote (which I assume is talking about Second Life, or similar) more or less sums up the modern world:
“People will run across a battlefield to spray a DJ’s name on a tank.”
The new Tom Waits triple album really is that bloody good.
The Dirty Three are curating All Tomorrow’s Parties in April next year. Nick Cave solo is the headline act, other noteables include Grinderman, The Dirty Three (obv) Low, and A Silver Mt Zion.

Can I tempt anyone?
The second of that pair I mentioned the other day, and as might be obvious, it’s detail cropped from the first, and is a quite radically different photo, I think.
As I said the other day, I’d be interested to know which one people prefer. (I know which I prefer, but I don’t want to prejudice anyone’s answers by saying anything until I’ve heard from a few people.)
I usually don’t bother cluttering up people’s friendspage’s with birthday wishes for people they don’t know. I figure my friends probably know I wish them all the best, or they will when I wish them happy birthday in person. But anw turns 30 today, and y’know, I think that’s worth making an exception for.
Happy birthday, mate. May your 30s be everything you could want them to be.
The rest of you: Go wish my friend a happy birthday, because he deserves it.
