quick drunk one

been home about thirty minutes. Erik from work, guy i skate with, was djing at an italo night at Korsan which was pretty cool, but i slinked off about 1am to head home for spliff and a read.

i finished '17' last night which was amazingly good, and just tonite i started Peter Ackroyd's Hawksmoor. I've just started chapter 2 but already i know its astoundingly good too - this book is partially where the inspiration for Alan Moore's 'From Hell' is taken, and it's by the same author as 'London: The Biography', which i'm about 1/4 of the way through. This one is complete dark fiction steeped in London history and geography.

its now 2am and i can't be bothered writing much - i'm not drunk enought to ramble on, so just gonna smoke another and listen to my new emusic downloads: couple of Delsin releases and couple of Ras G releases. I should write more about them later..

rar!

toosday

yar! friday night was ace fun, thanks loads to Ed for having us along, and definitely go set up your own online store at http://peoplesmusicstore.com/ - now out of beta and open to the public. I think it's an excellent concept - basically allowing anyone to open their own download store, stocking it with their own choice of music from the catalog carried by the service, allowing you to completely customise and take away your store - anything you sell, you get a cut from, as does the label and of course, the people's music store get a little bit for setting up the infrastructure to allow you to do your own thing.

Highlights of the evening for me were Ikonika's DJ set, and then seeing I-F play after we had finished about 4:30am. Arthur Baker was pretty fun, just playing big disco tunes, and DMX Krew put in a lot of effort, doing cover versions of loads of classic electro. I didn't get to check out much of 808 State as they were on at the same time as Ikonika.

Quite a busy week for DJing - me, mat and max are gonna be along in the ICA bar on thursday night for the second HPLL night, which should be a laid back affair, and then on sunday, i'll be DJing at The Hangover Lounge, a sunday club run by a friend of mine at the Salmon and Compass pub in Islington.
