Cooking hank since 2002
Some folks were asking about the music I played at the Robot Ball last weekend so I’ve upped the set list for your listening pleasure. The first 10 or so are in order but then I jumped around a fair bit, I can’t really remember much from the last half hour except for Charlie Charles whooping it up on the dance floor.
Yarr, everybody.
Strap on yer peg leg, befriend a parrot and fill those mugs of rotgut, it’s Talk like a pirate day,!

Yes faithful, The Bigg Daddy has returned to the mainframe ready to inflict some sage advice and profanity-laced punishment to all’n’sundry who dare to not “bring the realness”…
I know it is trite to bring out the ‘wacky’ spam messages for easy blogfiller, but check out the email I got in my junk mail this morning:
You are cordially invited to a balls-out, historically enlightening journey through time- courtesy of the world’s foremost headbanging historians!

Readers of Hamish’s occaisional diary page may have seen a post about Last FM a while back. I decided to jump on board a couple of weeks ago, and like many others I am amazed this sort of thing is a) legal and b) relatively unused.
Here is a little bit from the webpage;
So basically, you download a plugin from Audioscrobbler and sign-up… Winamp or iTunes updates the website with each song played and your music profile starts to build. Once you have a few hundred songs in your profile you can stream a radio station tailored to your musical tastes, you can also sample songs from albums similar to albums in your collection.
You can see my current music profile and listen to my personal radio station by following the links below.At the moment Last FM is not anywhere near its potential, but it is one of those great internet applications which I hope takes off*. One thing that is slowing it down (if you pardon the pun) is bandwidth, most people probably don’t have the bandwidth to stream 128kb/s radio and ‘work’ on the net at the same time, let alone the download quota to stream 1Gb of music a day, but better deals are released every month and it’s only a matter of time before internet radio and then internet TV are a very viable option.
Last FM also requires a lot of users for it to be successful. With such a small number of users to choose from my ‘Profile Radio’ can be a little hit and miss, some of my musical neighbours are not even in the right postcode… I need a few more Fancy D. Bowers and KLs to give me some closer matches and musical direction 
.
* Like epinions, which sadly has not reached its potential either.
Kilbot.net presents an exclusive release of MC 900 Kilometer Genge’s refiddle of the MacArthur Park lyrics. In an impromptu interview at the Captian Stirling, Genge gave me some background to the song;
“I sort of knew the lyrics to MacArthur Park, so Graham Hill and I recorded them… it was a Friday afternoon.”
The result was Chocolate Log.

Well, it certainly appears that “Purse Your Lips” isn’t going to be as popular as some of the other Crap-Tel products. Unless we start to give away Masters of the Universe figures with every copy sold.
So, how about this? Our marketing gurus have come up with a new idea for a compilation album featuring the greatest synthesiser riffs in history. Possible album titles include:
“Synthcronicity”
“That Synth Makes the Heart Grow Fonder”
“The Seven Deadly Synths”
Here’s a few tracks to give you the flavour:
Jump/Van Halen
The Final Countdown/Europe
Pressure/Billy Joel
Just Can’t get Enough/Depeche Mode
So, let’s hear it, people. We want synth riffs and we want them now.
EDIT: This thread has gone to hell. The comments have turned into a bitch-fight between BDW and Vadge-Ra, with several unwholesome photos. Visit at your peril.
Following the enormous success of Crap-Tel’s first two compilation albums (“A Call to Arms” and “Songs Called Jump”), Matty Milner and I have decided that we need to release a third installment.
This new compilation is tentatively titled “Purse Your Lips: The World’s Greatest Whistling Songs”.
We have a few hits lined up, but we need your help. Please tell us your favourite whistling ditties and help make this the biggest and best Crap-Tel release so far.
The beginning of our tracklisting:
Jealous Guy/John Lennon or Bryan Ferry
Love in Motion/Icehouse
Patience/Guns ‘n’ Roses
Winds of Change/The Scorpions
Alpha Beta Gaga/Air
So as you can see, we need your help. Let’s hear it people. We want whistling, and we want it now.
Here’s the List compiled by the morons at VH1.
This has to be the biggest load of horseshit I have ever seen. Most of these album covers are total trash, or just mind-numbingly boring.
I have no idea how they compiled this list but I’d say Stevie Wonder was on the judging panel.
Let’s take a case in point: Tupac’s All Eyez On Me
Now come on. It’s just a freaking photo of Tupac. Where’s the genius in that? And it’s spelt “eyes” you semi-literate dead hack.
As for that retarded cartoon cover for Snoop’s Doggystyle being in the top ten… well, let’s just say “great album, shit cover.”
