Have been watching the 2nd series of "Californication" : what a fucking hoot. It's great being able to watch a whole series over a few days...neat show, fine music, great acting...tush to die for...
  Just about to record the stems for a new track... should have it up on Soundcloud before tooo looong, y' know...it's been cool finding out how to sequence sounds from my Theramin...turns it into a right chirpy little bastard ! Really handy. Good for weird drones as well...no envelopes needed...hint, hint.
  Just into the last third of the trilogy of T. Jefferson Parker's Border Wars: went right off him for about 10 yrs, but his last 4 or 5 books I have liked a lot....check out "California Girl"...a paean to all the girls we fucked over in the 70s; nice stuff.
  Christchurch...Chernobyl by earthquake eh?
                                              Om Shantih, mein Herren und Damen.
