Priorities...
Got, got, got...OOOF!!! Needing the 1''tape and cheap brandy though. You win Mr. 80s swinger synthdude... But why the snide brandy when you got a rack of £50 (minimum) TEAC tape, WHY??? And speakers on the floor? C'mon... I think I hate you Mr 80s swinger synthdude... the green tartan kills your Numan steez by the way. I rock TDK D 90s but my Cognac is XO. PRIORITIES.
Under the radar Norweigan classic from 95. Track 2 is like a Celtic Frost tribute/medley, Every epic riff by C.F. condensed into one song. This is the Crystal Meth of Doom/Thrash/BM...Track 3 and 5 are Morbid Tales on Tomazipan and Ketamine respectively..The rest-Growly, angsty, hanging around forests at night in the snow, staccatto guitar driven type Norweigan GENIUS! There never were Celts in Switzerland but snow in Scandinavia? Yes. Enjoy.

Me, Giles from The Earlies and Stuart (- the hand Of god.)..we tested some valve equipment and inadvertently recreated Space/Kraut rock through the prism of Throbbing Gristle set in NORWAY in 1994, THIS IS NORTHERN SOUL. Unfortunately 'Waiting for Godo' was playing downstairs in the theatre bar. There were complaints. I am now looking for a new space. I love Beckett, he would have got it... KINGS ARMS, SALFORD. Previously Mark E. Smiths space... formally, mine, for now. (The tape was worth the grief- Will???)
''REAL''
To everyone at Abyss Creations: Hello again!
''Two years ago today, my beautiful RealDoll, Jenny arrived at my home. On that day, my life changed. So much so that I felt compelled to write this note.
Jenny's presence here has had a dramatically positive effect on me psychologically and emotionally. A far more positive effect than I had ever expected. During this time, I have done many things that I feel I would never have done if I didn�t have Jenny. I cannot recall any other purchase that has given me as much enjoyment as this sweet angel.
You made her for me to love and for that, once again, I thank you. You have created something truly wonderful.''
Sincerely John, MA
Sokushinbutsu
A few Buddhist temples in northern Japan are home to “living mummies” known as sokushinbutsu (即身仏). The preserved bodies are purportedly those of ascetic monks who willingly mummified themselves in the quest for nirvana.
To become a living mummy, monks had to undergo a long and grueling three-step process.
Step 1: For 1,000 days, the monks would eat a special diet of nuts and seeds, and engage in rigorous physical training to strip the body of fat.
Step 2: For another 1,000 days, they would eat only bark and roots in gradually diminishing amounts. Toward the end, they would start drinking tea made from the sap of the urushi tree, a poisonous substance normally used to make Japanese lacquer bowls, which caused further loss of bodily fluid. The tea was brewed with water from a sacred spring at Mt. Yudono, which is now known to contain a high level of arsenic. The concoction created a germ-free environment within the body and helped preserve whatever meat was left on the bone.
Step 3: Finally, the monks would retreat to a cramped underground chamber connected to the surface by a tiny bamboo air pipe. There, they would meditate until dying, at which point they were sealed in their tomb. After 1,000 days, they were dug up and cleaned. If the body remained well-preserved, the monk was deemed a living mummy.
Unfortunately, most who attempted self-mummification were unsuccessful, but the few who succeeded achieved Buddha status and were enshrined at temples. As many as two dozen of these living mummies are in the care of temples in northern Honshu.
The Japanese government outlawed the practice of self-mummification in the late 19th century.
Beckett
Patrick Magee (1922-1982) recorded several Beckett plays for the BBC in 1957, but this excerpt isn’t included in the 4-CD set of the complete series. I guess this was rather recorded at the time of the Krapp’s Last Tape BBC sessions, 1972, a play Beckett wrote specifically for him and his voice. This single was possibly a gift from Beckett’s publisher John Calder to his readers. During a public reading from ‘How It Is’, possibly during radio show, Magee transforms the chosen page into a study in panting, a race against his own breath.
HERE and HERE.
HERE and HERE.
GENIUS
London, Nov 7 : British commuters at West Ham station were shocked when they heard loud groans of a couple having sexual intercourse being broadcast over the tannoy.
Passengers at the station in east London heard the lovemaking antics being relayed over platform loudspeakers during the evening rush hour on November 5.
"The noises heard by passengers were not from within our station. We believe they were a result of some sort of interference with our public address system," the Telegraph quoted a spokesman for Transport for London as saying.
"It certainly wasn't coming from our staff," he stated.
He said the station's public address system worked on radio waves and somebody must have been broadcasting on the same wavelength. He said staff had turned off the loudspeakers as soon as they realised what was going on.
But passengers had different interpretations.
"It was definitely a couple doing it there and then," Laura O'Connor told the London Evening Standard newspaper.
"He was grunting loudly and she sounded like she was having a great time. The driver must have heard it, too, as the doors stayed open longer than usual," she added.
