the mood darkens..

hello people. lack of words in recent times is due to lack of the usual optimism that normally permeates my life. one day i may reveal more. needless to say the early part of the week was spent relistening to Nick Cave ..but this became too intense in an open office environment, so i decided i need to have sounds to distract my wandering thoughts. luckily, i decided to find out what all the fuss was about DFA. they have released a fascinating 3 cd set (2 cds + 1 mix) that gives a full rundown on their sonic adventures. and i'm smitten. all twisted beats, acid house freakouts, and a smattering of percussion overload. not clean, not pure, but sheer dirty dance beat propelled music. this rises my expectations for the forthcoming LCD Soundsytem album (due early 2005) to outrageous levels. as well as that, today i received word that helped lift the grey vibe somewhat : REJECT FALSE ICONS It Lives Again WWW.GORILLAZ.COM 8th December 2004 12pm GMT at last. can never have too much jamie hewlett product in your life i think. onwards mark e ireallylovemusic
