not re: bush/gore, but along the same lines (politicians
saying and/or doing stupid things):
our mayor here in Halifax, when asked about the great
number of homeless people Halifax has, said--on camera, no less--:
"No one should have to resort to begging on the streets--unless
you're an alcoholic, drug addict, or mentally ill."
This was a few weeks back and it's *still* makin' my head spin.
(Thank goodness we're having a Mayoral election soon and we
have a chance to vote this idiot out).
On-topic IDM-wise: I'm currently enjoying the following vinyl
(some purchased, some promos I was lucky enough to be given):
--Dettinger--Oasis EP (Kompakt)
--Doctor Rockit--Indoor Fireworks 2 X LP (Lifelike)
--Languis/Safety Scissors 10" (Plug Research)
--D'Enborage/Tronikgatan split 10" (Eat This)
--Lo Soul--Belong 2 X LP (Kompakt)
--tons of new records on Delsin (not sure if they're coming
out consecutively catalog-wise, so not sure which are the newest
ones, but Delsin has upped their quantity-level drastically recently
while retaining a high quality level)
andrew "home sick with a cold--sniff, sniff" duke :)
np the sound of Karma (a Jack Russell/Staffordshire mix I got
from the pound 9 days ago) throwing his beach ball and bones
around the kitchen (upstairs); note to those snickering: I wanted
to call the dog Kano (well, actually, wanted to call it Mantronik,
but a dog should have a two-syllable name; Parrish (after Man) was
misinterpreted
by friends as Perish (and thus gory), Cybotron, Kraftwerk, and
Atkins didn't "work", Saunderson
had too many syllables, etc, so it's now Karma (good Karma, bad
Karma, hopefully good Karma most of the time). not my choice, but
Kano is now his middle name: Karma Kano Duke :)
