Current Music: va (merck) - aurora 2
Well its been quite some time since I posted an entry here... myspace kinda took over for a bit even if it is ten times lamer than LJ. What have I been up to since I last posted here? WELL...

For a starters I moved house, now I live just 10 mins walk from the old house but with 3 other housemates rather than 5.. Eddie, Tiernan & Rowan. Its not a bad house, its just its a bit noisy and I can never really get any sleep. I'm feeling a little out of place nowadays tho.. don't get me wrong, I think my housemates are good guys, but they're not really my kind of people.. always going out and getting drunk when I just wanna stay in and stuff.

I've cut down on smoking weed, for a while after we first moved into this house there was a period where I did nothing but get stoned for about a month and after a while it started to mess with my head a bit. But still, I made 2 albums as Bannister Boy durin that time... one's due out on Drift Records in the future and the other I'm still kinda workin so its good enough to send out to some proper labels as a demo. Here's hoping.

I've been eating a lot healthier than I used to, and I'm exercising regularly as well.. that and cutting down on weed is all part of a plan to make me less lazy so I can go out and get a job, be able to afford nice things this year and then have enough money to move once I've finished this year at uni. I really want to get out of Leeds now, for a while I liked it, but now all the pissed students and the non-existant music scene is doing my head a bit. So, I'm thinking of moving to Brighton.. there's a few reasons for that. One its got a fucking awesome music scene, two its full of weirdos so I'd fit in and three, I met a couple of people off soulseek from there and I think they're totally awesome, exactly my kind of people unlike my current housemates.. its not often I meet people that I feel exhilerated to be around and they did that for me. Now, one of those people is a girl.. who I'm quite into, she's awesome.. any girl that has her tastes in music films tv and books gets my vote already, but add the fact that she's attractive, lovely, funny and daft to the extreme.. and you've practically got my perfect girl. She's exactly the kind of person I need to be around to bring me out of my shell because the way she is outside.. is the way I am inside, just held back by my shyness. The trouble is the other dude I met is kinda her boyfriend.. and he's totally awesome too, so I feel kinda bad for fancying his missus. But I can just settle for having them both as friends if it means I get to be around those kinda people.

My novel went down the pan.. I realised it was kinda sucky and not really novel material. But I've been brainstorming ideas for a new novel. Just need to start writing the bugger.

Er, not been up to much else really.. apart from watching shitloads of Lost, Arrested Development, Twin Peaks, Trailer Park Boys, Weeds and other Adult Swim stuff.. but I can't be arsed goin' into that...so I'll go.

Current Mood: awake
Current Music: new ambient mix
So, for the first time in five years or so, I'm writing again. That idea I mentioned here a while back that I wanted to turn into a comic stip, has become a bit more ambitious now. So I'm attempting to write it into a novel of sorts. Surprisingly, I think its ok so far, considerin' how out of touch I am with writing. I like to think its quite witty and strange. There are obvious flaws with my writing technique but, hey, I'm not arsed about releasing an official novel or anything. Its just something to do really. 12 chapters and roughly 8000 words long so far. To sum it up so far, its a parody on your typical tale of a bunch of randoms who for some reason or another, mutate and gain superpowers. Maybe it sounds lame, but the whole point of it was to be full of superhero clichés whilst poking fun at modern student culture, television, existence, political correctness and most importantly, my life and experiences. I'm quite proud of it so far anyway, even if no-one else thinks its good. We'll see how it turns out.

On another note, I been making mixes again. This one is purely ambient and very very chilled out. Flows almost like an 80 minute song.. sort of.

Current Music: the patriotic sunday - lay your soul bare
I've decided that I'm going to teach myself Japanese, or at least til I can afford classes. I've always wanted to learn another language and I've always wanted to live in Japan for a while.. so why not learn and then I can go there when I finish uni and have less trouble speaking. Seems pretty confusing though. Just picking up some basic phrases and sentence structure at the moment.

Been ebaying some books that I want to read over summer..

Douglas Adams - Mostly Harmless (I'm nearly on the 4th book of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series so I figured I might as well get the 5th one too)
Chuck Palahnuik - Diary (Love Palahnuik's books.. except Fight Club which I thought was pretty weak surprisingly.. this is one of the ones I'm missing)
Kurt Vonnegut - Breakfast Of Champions/Slaughterhouse Five/Galapagos (always wanted to read some Vonnegut.. might as well get a collection)
Haruki Murakami - Norwegian Wood/Hard Boiled Wonderland & The End Of The World (love the other Murakami book I've read so hey)

I been buyin a few dvds recently.. some ones that I always wanted to see but never got round to it, some old ones that I used to own til they got stolen, some others etc..

Assault On Precinct 13 (the original) - dunno why but I've always loved it.. remake = sucks compared to this
Undead - australian + zombies + aliens = yay!
Waking Life - just wanted too see what it looks like really (and how A Scanner Darkly, Richard Linklater's next film, would look).. bit confusing, but mindboggingly good to watch.. even if u don't understand it first time around.. love Linklater's classic Dazed & Confused too.
American Psycho - one of those where u either love it or hate it.. I love it, for some reason
Scarface - one of the classics that got stolen
Taxi Driver - another of the classics that got stolen
The Dark Crystal - classic! used to buzz of it when I was a kid.. great stuff.. the main character (puppet) reminds me of Michael Jackson tho.
Street Fighter 2 (Manga) - another one I used to love when I was younger.. not quite as entertaining at my age tho, but still its alright.

Just went on a bit of a DVD binge coz I came into a bit of money.. got em all pretty cheap too.

May. 19th, 2005 @ 03:59 am star wars
Current Mood: thoughtful
Current Music: fax - bilateral ep
I've just got back from watching the first screening of Star Wars III: Revenge Of The Sith at our local cinema. I loved Star Wars ever since I was a kid, I know I'm not old enough to have been there when they were first released but regardless I saw them at a young age in the late 80s and have been a huge fan ever since. When I was around 15 I had read around 30 of the spin-off books and knew practically everything there was to know about the star wars universe (yes I was quite geeky back then.. when it came to star wars anyway). There was even a point when I was going through my writing phase that I had great aspirations to write my own star wars books set hundreds of years after the film, with character designs and everything. But anyway, to Revenge Of The Sith.. I'll try not to spoil it for anyone who reads this who has yet to see it (most ppl I should assume seeing as though I'm one of the first portion of regular civilians of the planet to see it). You should know what happens anyway.

The past 2 films have kinda spoiled the excitement I used to feel for star wars.. don't get me wrong, ep II was very enjoyable (ep I can fuck off imo) but it just wasn't the original, Lucas is too focused on CGI nowadays and it ruins it, but that's stating the obvious. So today I didn't feel the butterflies I felt when I went to see the first two.. I was only slightly excited. However that's not to say me and my 2 housemates didn't get far too involved in a humming rendition of the star wars theme in the car as we approached the cinema. The geeks were out, ppl dressed as stormtroopers, jedis and obviously Darth Vader. The screen was packed which was pretty bizarre considerin it was half past midnight but hardly surprisin with it being star wars and all. One guy behind us scream a wookie roar across the cinema as the lights dim and everyone laughs. Throughout the whole film I was enjoying it, there wasn't one point where I thought it was boring which is one of the problems I had with the first two. But there was something bugging me through it all and I haven't yet figured out what it was... and to be honest I think I'd have to watch it again to make sense of it. It was like Lucas had a checklist of everything that had to be included in order for A New Hope to make sense, and he hadn't included much of a story between the lines. Like the inclusion of wookie race for instance, it was like that was just crammed in there to please the fans and to be honest I found that part of it rather disappointing. I was quite disappointed with the way Anakin turns to the dark side as well, it just seemed to happen too quickly. I was disgusted to see Jar Jar Binks got two appearances, but overjoyed to find out they were non-speaking appearances. Overall, I liked it, but I'd be only stating the obvious by saying that it nowhere near compares to the original 3. Hayden Christiansen annoys me too, his acting is pretty bad, very wooden... but it did remind me of Mark Hamill's acting I suppose. Too much focus on CGI, not enough story between what obviously happens before episode 4, some rather cheesy dialogue, one laugh out loud part with yoda, some nice references to future characters, one blink-and-you miss it cameo by the late Peter Cushing as General Tarkin or whatever he's called, lots of good action sequences with nice special effects.. but nothin that matches up to good old 70s star wars sfx. It was quite good... but I really need to watch it again to make my mind up better.

Yeah I know it looks kinda photoshop-filteresque but it was originally a photo of a stack of boxes and now its all messy so I like it. Best I can do on my own anyway.

Having my housemates move out and leaving loads of stuff here is great. Tom & Bez said I could help myself to their food so SWEET!.. I've nicked Bez's widescreen tv for my room, Bez's mp3 player so I've got a selection of decent music to carry around with me wherever.. can plug it into the stereos in the lounge and kitchen too so no need for cds anymore.. got Tom's surround sound system rigged up in the lounge now too.. tis great!

Current Mood: cheerful
Current Music: maetrik - casi profundo
I don't know what's happened to me over the past 3 days or so... but I've had a major inspiration drive and have completed a new 7 track ep within those days. And not only I am very pleased with it but I think its some of my best work, if not the best I've done. Not meaning to blown my own trumpet or anything but I'm finally getting to a stage where I think my music is getting to a quality near enough for official releasing. I'm starting to find my style instead meandering around different styles like I've been doin for the past few years. I suppose its kinda gettin in the way of slightly ambient, melodic, artificial intelligence era electronica with hip-hop influenced machine-like beats with lashings of idm, industrial, world music and techno.. or sth.

tracklisting looks like this:
01. The Sky Through A Clear Square
02. Eyes-Thru
03. Lights Flicker
04. Level 2
05. Deeellell
06. Steamobot
07. Level End

Haven't thought of a title for the ep or got any artwork for it yet, but that'll give me something to do whilst I try to find somewhere to release it on. I know I'm safe for releasing on OpenLab but they've got a busy schedule at the moment but it won't be released for a while. Privateelektro wanted an ep off me a while back but to be honest I would personally like to release it on Drift, just out of being friends with dmexican (who runs it) and sammie (who's first release on Drift is now out). Mais says he doesn't mind me releasing on Drift which is cool. Oh well let's see how it goes. For now lets think of a title and artwork to suit it shall we?

Woooo! As of thursday I get the house to myself for 6 weeks... :D :D :D, then we move into the new house and I practically get that to myself til september. 2 of my housemates are travelling South America for the summer and the other will be at work or parents' most of the time so booya. Walkin' around naked and loud music here I come.

Been watchin' Sealab 2021, another Adult Swim cartoon done in the style of an old skool 80s cartoon like Mask or something. Pretty funny, it ain't no Aqua Teen Hunger Force though.

Oh man I'm having a nightmare with two of my friends at the moment, its like being back in school. The thing is, Tom, told me and Chris on the weekend that the exam was on Thursday (which he'd heard from a friend). We didn't find out otherwise, til (as mentioned in a few entries ago) Tuesday morning. I text Chris soon as I found out but he had his phone switched off, then even if I had any credit on my phone, I wouldn't have been able to call Chris to make sure he knew when the exam was coz I was gonna be late for it myself. Tom didn't have Chris' number so he couldn't let him know. So basically Chris missed the exam and is now bitching at Tom saying he's fucked his year at uni up for telling him the wrong exam dates. Tom's bitching back saying that he didn't actually know when the exam was either and would've missed it himself had he not got in to uni to find out. And Tom's also arguing that it should be Chris' responsibility to know when his exams are. Then I'm fucking stuck in the middle of it all, trying to play peacemaker but it aint workin. To be fair Tom is right (a rare occasion as I'm usually in agreement with Chris). The three of us went to uni yesterday to hand in some work and they barely spoke a word to each other, it was horrible, especially after a spliff in the afternoon. Every silent moment seemed to last a lifetime. Then when I was alone with Chris I had to put up with him bitching about how he doesn't want to work with Tom next year.. then an hour later I have to hear the exact same thing from Tom. Its driving me nuts, they're the two people you'd least expect to fall out with each other. Oh well, they're goin their seperate ways for the summer next week so hopefully that'll ease things a bit.

[Kernel32] aw man i've been awake for 2.5 hrs and its already shaping up to be the single worst day of my life
[Saskia] why?
[Kernel32] WELL..
[Kernel32] today i had an exam.. i didnt know i had this exam today til 2am last nite, i was told not just by my friends.. but by my tutor that it was on thursday.. so i set my alarm for 7.45 so i could wake up and do some last minute revision, only i couldn't sleep last nite so i slept thru my alarm.. woke up at 9.30 by Tom callin me tellin me that the exam was at 10, so i had to throw on some clothes, run about the house seeing if anyone could lend me money for the bus, only there wasn't anyone in so i had to walk, got there just in the nick of time but realised i had forgot my calculator, did the exam which was horribly hard, decided i'd get some cash out at the cash machine get some cigs and get on the bus with the change, but no the cash machines out of order, so i thought i'd pay on card for my cigs and get cashback to pay the bus with.. but no, they couldn't do cashback today.. so i walk home, get harassed by a mormom, drop my brand new pack of cigs in a puddle thus rendering them unsmokeable, and not only was it bad enough that i walked for 30 mins with blisters on my feet in a mega hail storm.. but i got splashed by not 1, not 2 but by 3 cars driving through puddles... and i'm pissed off... and i'm done now
[Saskia] :O
[Kernel32] i'm not leaving my room for the whole day in case anythin else worse happens

Watched Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy t'other day. Was quite impressed, quite amusing and very enjoyable. Good viewing. Never read the books before but always wanted to. Got "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe" here but I don't know whether I should start readin' it or get the first book and read that in case the film missed anythin out which I'm sure it probably did.

AAAAAAAY. Time for some more recommendations that I heard this month.

Stendeck - Can You Hear My Call: This album blew me away when I listened to it after a few spliffs. Its like a blend of upbeat & downtempo electronica that relies heavily on distorted and dirty beats and basslines. Its beautiful in the roughest way possible. Fantastic.

Eluvium - Talk Amongst The Trees: A wonderful ambient guitar soundscape album thats perfect for sending you to sleep when you're feeling quite melancholy. Great stuff.

Marc Leclair - Musique Pour 3 Femmes Enceintes: Something totally different from minimal clickhouse producer Akufen. Mostly textural ambience with the tiniest bit of IDM and minimalism but all together surprisingly lush. Download it posthaste.. you won't regret it. It gets better with every listen.

Rothko & Caroline Ross - A Place Between: A beautifully inspired home listening album. Guitars, pianos, flutes and vocals like poetry. Absolutely fantastic. Its almost some kind of fragile folktronica but not.

Theodore - A Summer She Has Never Been, A Winter She Fears: Imagine Fridge mixed with Isan and Colleen and you get Theodore. A fantastic album to listen to in the middle of the night after a spliff or two. Music box and glockenspiels galore. Lush lush lush.

One Self - Children Of Possibility: I've recently been somewhat disappointed with Ninjatune's output having been a big fan for a number of years. I've also lost interest in a lot of hiphop but this album got me back into it. A collaboration of excellence between DJ Vadim, Blu Rum 13 and the lovely voice of Yarah Bravo. Fantastic beats & rhymes with some lush poetry like vocals. In the words of many a hiphop-head... dope.

Benge - I Am 9: Straight up IDM of the highest degree from Expanding. Overly heartwarming and mellow, another one of my favourite post-spliff albums at the moment.

Lawrence - The Night Will Last Forever: Dance music? Sort of. Elements of Plaid, B12 and such? Definitely. Great stuff considering its mostly 4/4 bootyshakin' beats which is usually not my thing. But the similarities to some early 90s Warp-like stuff wins this one over for me. Amazing techno or something (do those two words ever work in the same sentence?)

Wax Tailor - Tales Of The Forgotten Melodies: Turntablism and stuff! Much like Blockhead's Music By Cavelight album on Ninjatune. Downtempo beats with the odd vocal track. "Our Dance feat. Charlotte Savary" is fantastic.

Stromba - Tales From The Sitting Room: From Fat Cat records comes this great lounge/jazz/downtempo/dub/god knows what else blend of wonderfulness. Inspired stuff.

Drowsy - Growing Green: Another one from Fat Cat, this time in the form of a lovely folk/slowrock crossover. Similar to Adem, Smog & Devendra Barnhart but still managing to be unique. My straight-up folk recommendation of the month.

Jose Gonzales - Veneer: Beautiful, melancholy, slightly depressing and utterly divine. Music to bring tears to your eyes.. not that it brought tears to my eyes.. I'm not gay or anythin, what you on about? Get it.

Owwwwwwwwwwwww. My neck hurts! Can't look left without it hurting. :(

Been watching Paranoia Agent.. for those who don't know, Paranoia Agent = Japanese anime 13 episode long series about "Shounen Bat" a rollerbladin' kid who goes around attacking/killing people with his golden bat but as the series progresses the character becomes more than just a hit n run attacker and eventually appears to those who have thought of dying being the easy way out. Each episode revolves around a different character or bunch of characters involved in the story making each episode different to the next. The animation and music is superb, as is the plot.. but it's hella random, but thats the Japanese for ya. They gots some wacky imagination yo. Watch it, its cooool.



Also been watching Joan Of Arcadia on recommendation from Sammie.  Its not fantastic but its enjoyable.. I can't quite figure out what audience its aimed at.. a lot of it cries out 17 year old girl.. but then there's some of the cop drama stuff involved in it which sometime touches upon some quite adult issues (rape/murder/drugs etc..).  Tis about a 16yr old girl who gets visits from God in the form of various everyday people who tells her to complete various tasks which when complete always improve somethin in her life.. it also tells the story of her troubled family and friends.. police chief father and his investigations, grief-stricken mother, paralysed for life big brother, nerdy little brother etc..  There's somethin that screams out Mature Dawson's Creek With God about it but still its a way to pass the time.  Not quite as enjoyable and funny as Dead Like Me though.

Plus it has me shouting "motherfucker" in a kids voice sort of hidden in it.. all good fun. Tom even said "I can't believe it, you've worked your arse off this semester" and I was all..

Oh joy, another one of those nights... it seems to happen whenever I need to be awake at 7am the next morning. I lie in bed for hours tossing and turning but not actually getting to sleep. No point attempting to sleep now, 5am already... 2hrs sleep is worse than no sleep imo, especially when I have a habit of turning my alarm off in a state of half consciousness if I don't sleep enough. So here it is.. the K32 guide to staying awake in order to attend some kind of engagement in the early morning.

*Strong black coffee every hour
*Upbeat music, nothing ambient or chilled out
*No lying down to watch a film coz that'll make you fall asleep straight away
*A shower when you start to feel at your worst
*Cigarettes
*Computer games are always good to pass the time without realising or falling asleep
*Plenty of food to help ease that lack-of-sleep ache in your stomache
*Pro Plus or other forms of caffeine pills
*Attempt to make music, I usually make the best of my stuff either a) when I'm stoned or b) at stupid times in the morning

Or better, make sure you have weed as that will ensure a good nights sleep and you wont have to go through all that shit.

Watched Sin City last night, really good film.. when you watch it you can tell its based on a comic book, and as I've never read the comics I can only imagine that the film is quite faithful to them. The whole film noir style of it is great, love all the black and whiteness but with the odd bit of colour, great stuff. Quite violent too.. probably moreso because the blood often appears white rather than red. Good cast, Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke are especially good.. Elijah Wood as a silent and very scary serial killer/cannibal, not what I was expecting but eerie nonetheless. All in all, rather enjoyed it.

Saw Coffee & Cigarettes the other night too, another film I've been wanting to see for a while. Bit weird, very up and down but on the whole it was ok.. quite humorous. Plus any film that mixes Bill Murray, Steve Buscemi, GZA & RZA of Wu Tang and Steve Coogan all together deserves my respect.

Bought Metal Gear Solid 3 for the ps2 the other day as well.. not had chance to play it for 2 days tho coz Tom has been playin it (aka rushing it) to catch up to where I am and has now passed me and wont give me chance to play it now. Bastard. Good game tho.. Tom keeps goin on about how its not as good as MGS2 and I thought MGS2 was pants compared to the 1st one and this one is far better.. quite funny too. Love all the jokes about films in the future and that coz its set in 1964 ("I love James Bond films, I wouldn't be surprised if they made 20 more of them"). Stuck in the middle of an epic battle over 3 massive jungle/mountain/river areas against a 100 year old expert sniper and he keeps fuckin me over.. taken me an hour to shoot him once... Took Tom 2.5 hours to do it as well. Oh well, I'm bored.
