Fair enough. Did you book your Bloc ticket yet? You might not be able to avoid the dubstep there! Snoop Dogg's billed as headlining now, as well as Steve Reich. I think Dogg's spinning techno...

Hey Justin, looks like you're not listening to so much dubstep and electronica than you used to. Did you ever get into that Andy Stott twofer? I'm still loving it.

Thanks for the add. I don't think you're the Justin that I thought you were...but that's cool. :) You're probably not the Justin that you think you are either! Have a nice day.

Many thanks, I've come across some of those names, but will check out the music.

Ah damn. I don't like to order such things over long distances and hoped for it being available at iTunes for example, but it isn't. I got some EP's from him, which are really lovely ;)

I'm loving the DJ Sprinkles, thank you, which then leads me to ask what other House I should be listening to - any recommendations for an area I'm very ignorant of much appreciated.

Thanks - much appreciated! Are you interested in any pre-'95 comps? I could send you a few titles to see if you've got them first.

Thanks Justin, I've responded in the comments, suffice to say it sounds like I need to hear the Soundmurderer comp!

Thanks Justin, looking forward to hearing your choice in due course! Not sure what I'd recommend as a first Scott Walker album - either Scott 4 or Climate of Hunter. His masterpieces imo are Tilt and The Drift, but they're pretty challenging and may be worth working up to.

Hello Justin, hope you're very well. I've just chosen my album of the decade and I'd like to hear which album you would choose and why. If you think the idea's preposterous, no worries at all, but if not please leave a comment on my [url=http://www.eleventhvolume.com/miscellany/]blog post[/url]. Thanks a lot!

I'll be truly shocked if you don't already know about this: http://bleep.com/index.php?page=dynamic&module=hyperdub5

I think (though it's true you do influence what I tend to listen to) it might have something to do with my lazy habit of just listening to your last.fm 'radio station' when I can't think what I want to listen to from my own collection... pretty cool though.

Hey Justin - how are you doing? Did you get that cottage you wanted? Hope you're well.

Excellent. I'm not sure you need to do anything, but will surely let you know if there is! I'll run them in parallel for a week or two before finalising. Will keep you posted.

Hey Justin, hope you're well. Are you okay with our going to Slice Host? My friend's happy to assist with setup.

Weirdly named album of the week: Come On Primates Show Your Teeth by Frog Pocket. It's good.

You're right, it is rather tasty. Tom gave me Nah und Fern for Christmas, I've got a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time listening to that. All the rain on these tracks makes me want to go to the loo.

Thanks anyway, the D80 has a tungsten, but it has a bit of a yellow/orange cast. When you get a moment, let us know what you think about my HF emails.

One more thing I've been meaning to ask - what white balance do you set your camera for with that tungsten light rig? I keep getting it wrong and getting an overly yellow cast. Help appreciated!

Hope you have a great Christmas. Comments welcome on this: [url=http://www.eleventhvolume.com/miscellany/2008/12/22/looking-back-at-2008-part-the-first-being-recordings-released-this-year-2/] Looking back at 2008. Part The First, being recordings released this year[/url]

Bringing my headphones in tomorrow. It's really quiet today and I could do with music. Also the policy on internet radio has been described to me as 'you're a sysadmin, do what you like'. The power!

I don't actually know yet! Still finding my feet. Maybe I'll pluck up the courage to ask by the end of the week.

Sweet taste in music mate, really been looking to get into Machinefabriek after hearing Dauw... any recommendations on what to grab?

Thanks Justin, but I've managed to snag a copy now.

Great to meet up with you yesterday Justin. I'm going to check out your recommendation for Ed Rush and Optical. I'll be interested to see whether it expands my holy trinity of post '95 sci-fi breakbeat into a quartet - in case you're wondering, I'm referring to Jacob's Optical Stairway, Grooverider's Mysteries of Funk and the second disc of 4hero's Two Stories.

Deaf Center, mmmm.

Definitely agree about that fine-looking video, not so sure about the album cover. Been waiting for this release a-whiles now. Hope it lives up to expectation!

Thank you. You can use your lovely new camera. What did you end up getting - Pentax or Nikon?

[url=http://www.magesy.com/music/1148321053-va-luciano-fabric-41-2008.html]very nice indeed[/url]

I hear what you're saying, but I actually have a soft spot for their first album... sort of a time/place nostalgia thing I suppose. I have to say, without that, this one's rubbish. Would it increase my cred if you looked at my latest weekly chart? I'm rather proud of it!

Nikon has a good interface and lenses, don't know about the Pentax. Also need to judge what it feels like in your hands. That's what decided me to choose Nikon over Canon.

Nice camera, a couple of friends have them. I assume you're going for the D40X. I need to buy a macro lens as the kit lens isn't great for HF shots.

Have you heard the new T++ track? Very nice indeed, it's on the rather brilliant Berghain 02 mixed by Marcel Dettmann. Highly recommended!

Many thanks for fixing the link behaviour on the HF newspage. How do I add a link to the RSS feed on the sidebar?

Nice playlist - I'm listening now.

The new Black Dog album is very good indeed. Thought you ought to know!

Hope you're enjoying your petri dish... I ordered it, but Boomkat rejected my card without informing me. Now I've re-ordered, they say they're out of stock grrr.

Heh, it is a good month isn't it. I've ordered the 2562, Ryoji Ikeda's new one, the Gas oh and a petri dish 3" Mordant Music CD from Boomkat - the latter just to feature on HF...

I'm getting [url=http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=95455]impatient[/url]! (And yes I have the slsk preview, but don't like listening through the promo voiceover so am waiting for the release proper).

Mmm, very much like the Modeselektor remix of Skip Divided, he's turned it into a big heavy hip-hop monster. Lovely.

yo, come and check dexplicit, benny ill, oneman live here: http://www.last.fm/user/prancehall/journal/2008/04/14/700851/

You mean 'My Downfall'? It's a soundtrack album, there's one or two really nice tracks, 'My Half' is the standout for me. Just one huge noisy crescendo, really awesome stuff. BTW, I'm on 2 CDs per month at the moment, damn mortgage...

Funny to see Odan on your listened-to list - I used to work with him. Nice fella!

And next was David Gray... I was playing the 'random not recently listened-to albums' playlist. I can see why I hadn't listened to some of them! I like the H&P one though, it's nice and mental. Good for when you're having a stupidly busy day at work!

Did you had all the pictures stored somewhere?

Destroyed by hackers?? I only thought it was offline for a while...
