Comparative Playlist for Director's Cut
I’ve made a useful comparative playlist on spotify for Director’s Cut and The Red Shoes and The Sensual World. And Hugh with the double-play ‘Kate Bush’ late in the 4th quarter has sent the Tumblrs into over-time. UPDATE: here’s a youtube playlist of the same thing http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PL94E99CDC84350D48

Lots of questions! Kate Bush interview, remastered...
You can hear Kate Bush’s non-singing voice here: I’ve never heard her talk before: it’s an emotional experience. Kate Bush is my favourite musician ever. The interview is incredible obv, talking about touring like she a) just never got round to it b) is from Bromley. How much would you spend on seeing Kate Bush? Would it clear £100?

Respecting Plucky Local Cinemas
We went to the cinema on Saturday to go and see Attack the Block (best line ‘That alien’s blacker than my cousin Phemi’).

Respect works both ways is a good phrase. And fits nicely with this...

The House is Burning WHERE ARE MY DOG PLAYING...
Around 4 years ago i had to leave Manchester to get a proper job that didn’t pay 12k/year. My parents decided not to come and pick me up. If this had been the 90s i would’ve hitch-hiked.

And this is legal, how? #OBL
Caveat: Twitter is a troll’s paradise: you can get RT by other trolls, you can troll really easily, you can gain [limited] notoriety»»you can piss off anyone you want to piss off. The following line of topic has gotten my goat: “The Nazis slaughtered tens of millions but were captured alive and tried. So why not bin Laden, especially given we now know he was...

Advertising on cash points

After finishing my transaction (“Sorry, £5 are not available”), i get served a DIGITAL AD ‘Why not get an ISA?’ or ‘Lloyds charge you £20/day if you go over your overdraft’, some boring ad like...
