Bah.<BR/><BR/>Yes, come out of the Radiohead cocoon, and join in my fun game, which is only to listen to music that isn't marketed at you by 'the industry'. It takes you into all sorts of nooks and crannies of the web, you hear things you would never have heard normally, mostly from abroad (because that way you don't see the posters or the adverts), and it's very refreshing.<BR/><BR/>(Although yesterday I was listening to <A HREF="http://www.thrilljockey.com/artists/?id=10009" REL="nofollow">Califone</A>, who turn out to be fab, but I've seen a banner ad for them, so I'm not sure whether I should be listening to them or not.)<BR/><BR/>It makes me really sad that there are people who think that the music around today consists entirely of what they see on MTV and hear on Radio 1/XFM/whatever. No wonder people think there's no good music any more.patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-1163734937854017112006-11-17T03:42:00.000+00:002006-11-17T03:42:00.000+00:00"Sympathy for the Record Industry" is the record l..."Sympathy for the Record Industry" is the record label, I think.<BR/><BR/>That Voxtrot is v good.

Voxtrot are lovely, though, and they have a very cute singer, so I'd recommend buying at least one of their EPs. Although epic Norwegian space disco is really the thing for AW 0607, I shall be posting some of that soon. It's like early acid trance with (non-Baudrillardian) mirrorballs...and reindeer. Probably. That makes it sound more festive than it actually is.<BR/><BR/>I'm rambling, aren't I? It's the excitement of having broadband, I haven't calmed down yet.
