Craig White’s comments from the Amazon exiles group.

...wall?

busy transferring stuff from this 'not long for this world' laptop onto my new one (it's not new, it's mrs tech's old one - she was going to tell santa to get me a new one, but models with cd drive were way too dear, so i had her tell santa not to bother!) however, that one makes this one look like a clockwork abacus, so all good.

"No connection between these events?"

i'm taking the fifth!

i've since skited on a slippy kerb and opened up my knee, sprained my wrist! i musta did some bad thing? see above!

..........i tried, jeebus knows that i tried, but i just can't..........

's funny. our land-line phone hasn't rang for about 6 months. i imagine that something's wrong with it!

the 'as it was in the beginning' 2019 remasters set now complete - mrs tech, 'merry christmas, i don't ever want to hear them!' - getting all holy with,
amazon.co.uk/Stations-Crass/dp/B07PV9...
1 disc version from a previous double vinyl (pay no more than £3, if memory serves), half studio/half live. have to say that the remastering has brought all manner of things to the fore, such as what a talented bass player pete wright is. i'll be honest, in that. crass were essential, but a journey thru' 7 albums pre-re-mastering would be a bit of a slog. and they're all so beautifully packaged in replica sleeves/wraparounds of the original releases. happy boy!

from out of nowhere,

amazon.co.uk/Remixes-Kraftwerk/dp/B08...

digital only release of 19 mixes (9 of them 'expo 2000), the headline here is that the 1st track 'non-stop' is an unreleased mix, causing the sensation of first 'new music' for 17 years. coming in at 6 mins over 2 hours, i'm thinking £13.99 is a bit stiff. but i probably will.

this is next - a result of inspired gifting,

Predator vs. Judge Dredd vs. Aliens #1

are there any arses that dredd doesn't kick?

it was a strange one, almost completely bereft of atmosphere.

my maxim over xmas has been the same as it has this whole year - expect nothing and you won't be disappointed!

poor Lady Lux, nothing! however, dried up now and had a good walk. bob z. does like to lurk under the tree, but his ambushes are reserved for the lovely lady lux!
not an avalanche of choc this year, but very nice thoughtful presents all round. jnr made play on his inheritance by sourcing a ltd ed framed and signed (geuine) photo of rammstein for his mum. sook!

can't complain about dad, as his neighbours are feeding him today (in their bubble), so i don't need to bother my arse! still working at 3 tho', will wear my secret santa b.marley t-shirt, although miss tech (the queen of buying t-shirts) has extended my cramps and ramones attire, quite splendidly.

yay! not a fan either, but the top two here were the only moments of sheer genius that raised them above being a competent jangly guitar pub band.

dog's got the skitters
cat's got the hypers
i'm working later
oh, merry ******* christmas! x

.....oh, and goth rest ye merry gentlefolk!

ah, DAF, both influenced and influencing! so much good stuff during their tenure with virgin, so little units shifted!
