2003 eamonn said: "I had a dream"

That Andrew had an iPod or other mp3 device and that it would give you a sort of personality test based on the music you choose to listen to - you picked 3 albums for 3 different occassions. So I or someone else in the dream chose some electronica album for when walking/exercising (not that I've done much of that recently) - something like Royksopp/Lemon Jelly/Zero 7 (can they all be grouped together?) and the device said that these choices were very middle of the road. Then the choice for music to listen to while doing something in the evening was a Stevie Wonder album - the only thing I remember about the cover was that it had the word 'irony' on it somewhere. Again the iPod like device was very disparaging about this choice. It made you feel bad about what you listen to!

Haven't listened to much music lately. Have a few albums to get thru all right. Tried to buy a Neko Case album last night but couldn't find one in this city (no doubt her evening in Whelans on Thurs will be poorly attended) so I got a second hand This Mortal Coil album 'Filigree & Shadow' which was quite nice over a bowl of Aplen this morning.

What else - Domino Records have revamped their site and have put up videos for their roster of artists including 4 made in the early days of Palace which are well worth looking at. Taking me back to the shock of seeing Ohio River Boat Song on No Disco. The Domino site has gone away for the moment (they're applying the new changes or something) but I'll add the link when it's back.

Fake Jazz is another ok review site. They had some Deerhoof in their end of year poll and the clips on Aquarius Records for their latest album Reveille are really good. Not so good was their favourite album form last year by Yume Bitsu.
