Hi Mike, looking gooder and gooder. Do you have any available music, e.g. a live recording? pete

[ pete w 28/04/2003 15:49:53]

I don't have so much as a CD burner as yet, so I'm afraid MP3 downloads are the only source of Smunk for the time being. But I'm part time as of this week so I'll soon have installed a new CPU in my old computer and have some slipshod inkjet inlayed demo CDs available. I scanned your imaqes today and once I've worked out how to put them into your page they'll be funking up your shit too.

Ooh my toes are tingling! Is it possible to have several pictures stored and only one appearing each time the page loads/refreshes? If so, could it be placed above the diary? Nice ones, p

[ pete w 30/04/2003 14:14:14]

Done.

[ Michael 30/04/2003 17:25:19]

Many thanks, can I send you some more? If you ever need some artwork... pete

What makes it music?
Okay. Exerpt from Angel: The Host is a green demon who owns a karaoke bar (when people sing they bare their soul, and the Host can read them). Gene is a love-lorne physicist who nearly made the world end by freezing time. Angel stopped that from happening by beating up some demons. They're sitting round Gene's dining table recovering...

ANGEL
Well, you know, love, it's… it's a fire.

GENE
You been there, huh?

ANGEL
It burns you. Alive. Down to the bone. Then it turns the bone to ash
and the cold wind just -

HOST
I think what my chipper friend is trying to say here, Gene, is the wheel keeps turning. You can't stop it. Sometimes things get worse, sometimes they get better.

GENE
I want the wheel to stop - which probably explains the whole time in a box disaster. I can't emphasize enough how sorry I am about that.

HOST
It just don't work, Gene-y. It's like a song. Now I can hold a note for a long time - actually I can hold a note forever, but eventually, that's just noise. It's the change you're listening for, the note comin' after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

GENE
I guess. You guys like beer?

ANGEL
Beer sounds great.

Click here for the full script.

We're listening for the change. But we're dancing to the repitition.

Rare drunken blog
This accursed internet. This accursed constantly connected broadband.
It's almost like a challenge. Alienate the unalienatable (or is that inaliable .... unmelatable .... inaliens ... inmofuockingfoookoffthem ... or what ever).
And. My accursed desire turns out to be identical to that of every other man ever born. Status. I want women to fancy me and men to respect me. A man twice my age told me he was afraid of me this evening. Interesting. That was all in the aftermath of... whatever else happened... since bruce is the only person reading this it's probably safer to keep all those complicated ttttthhhhhhinnnngggs out of it. Post this? On the interbeareabweb? No way. No way man. No god-criking way. Oh wait. It's one button. I'll be doing it any second.

SMUNK is a kind of PSEUDONYM.

MY COAT stinks of beer and fags. "Plan B" via the Windmill. Solo. What a night.

Youth
I spent most of my teenage years developing my formidable IT skills (formidable by local government standards anyway). This means I'm probably justified in messing about a lot more now. But that's not me, really. So I guess I do what I want to do until I look old enough to be in charge in the workplace. Or grow a big beard.

I'm not gonna grow a big beard.

Big greasy itchy man-beard.

You stole that from what i was sayin

[ Ruth 25/04/2003 15:32:43 :: web]

Yes, but it was me that said it! That's why I went 'check this out' and pointed you to this page, but it didn't work. There were Blogger issues last night (continuing today)

Here it is! MP3 # 1
I've spent the last two days coding an mp3 download application that asks for an email address before it will let you download anything.

Doing it
I'm gonna do it. The day job's going part-time so I'm gonna take a loan and a six months and do it. Recording, gigs, website - all of it. I've been working on a cool looking music-toy/navigation interface that will be used for the presentation of the Smunk. I've got to design a little mp3-uploading thing and a database so that I can keep the music up-to-date like this blog (which will soon be moving to a 'diary' page). I've started a biog. There's a lot in it.

By the way - I got mugged yesterday morning. My hands got slashed up a bit by the mugger's knife, but I got away without them getting anything, so *phew*. Brixton. Great fun.

All Tomorrow's Parties...
...the most emotionally intense weekend of my life...

I can't begin to describe how complicated my life has been over the last week or two. But I'm getting there. I feel like I've come of age in a really strong way and I'm ready to embrace the third enemy of mankind: Power.

I will be putting a biography up here soon. And more. The Smunk section is about to get enriched in a serious way...

Bind the power to responsibility and you will have the self-regulating potential of a (very heavy) industry! Don't know what that means but thought I'd speak my brains in the blog-rena.

[ Crimes 14/04/2003 17:05:39]

With power comes responsibility... Responsibility to keep it fonky!

Mouth where my money is...
I've been in a bad habit of bringing my mouth down to where my money is. That is, not talking about what I'm gonna do, because I'm not sure whether I'll do it. Instead, I'm now saying what I'm gonna do in enthusiastic detail with the intention of following through. Still being a bit cautious, what with all the confusion.

Gesz. This site could do with some funkification!
