SYDNEY–Ohmigod ohmigod. Radiohead! The Sat Sydney concert was absolutely stupifying. After well over an hour of not being able to speak after the gig, it was back to the harbour views, replaying their collection and several hours of raving about our highlights.

SYDNEY–Yes, welcome from Sydders. Busy. Nose to the screen again. WHO.com launch soon. Where is my mind? FBI 94.5FM stuff as usual in the Mix thing and more coming soon.

SYDNEY–Yeah yeah, I know, I’m a nerd who is taking great interest in the Taiwan presidential election. Rants and fave reportage follows. FBI 94.5FM radio action continues to be fun, see mix for a special session with guest Carla Werner, including a live acoustic version of Like Mercury. Workaholism update: TIME’s Pacific edition website launched; Derwent Howard‘s site nearly ready to go (keep watch after Feb); Who.com f-i-n-a-l-l-y in production, think May. Fluffer.

“If the problem cannot be solved by peaceful means, then it must be solved by force. Neither side would benefit from that.” [Deng Xiao-ping, on Taiwan, from an undated rant but published in China Daily, Feb 19, 2004] Something to note is the way the English tranlator probably f*^ked up setting an analytical para saying “Deng said the successful settlement of the Hong Kong question may provide useful elements for the solution of international questions.” Is the China post citing Taiwan as a nation?!

SYDNEY–Hello Brooklyn! Insane and equally inane amounts of time usage happening at this end. The former is gladly lapped-up my yours truly on The Bridge, the FBI 94.5 Sydney album show, 8-10pm Wednesdays, the tracklist is at the FULL STORY switch below, while day hours are currently spent on the new Derwent Howard site. Stiiiil waiting for NY to scratch their itch in the whocom venture. Oh, and I have a new pad! Balmain baby. More when I’m in there. Radio replay mixes at mix. Toilet is third to the left.

SYDNEY–Hey hey, you’re not forgotten little pixel archive, I’ve just been doing stuff. The biggest lately is the NEW regular gig on radio – FBI 94.5FM Wednesdays – starting this coming Wedn. It’s the Sydney album show version of The Bridge, 8-10PM. Back to my roots, sans-Perth and pro-Sydders, it’s interviewing the independents which I *love*. On the home ‘n dolla front it’s still #waiting# for NY’s Time Inc to vomit forth productivity from bureaucracy, sidelining it for another publisher and throwing my hat in for all manner of interesting verbage ops. Sadly, still can’t contibute to published archive, but watch mix for audiac updates. word.

SYDNEY–Jolly new year what! Can’t go into the finer details right now, I have to feign employment at this juncture. In the meantime check the FBI Weekend Overhang tracklists from last weekend. Streaming MP3s online very soon, or even now maybe :) Big ups to the posse. Have a very kinderpool 2004.

SYDNEY–Jumping on a plane for Perth today. Will be back in hometown Waroona Dec 24-26, Perth for Jo and Nic’s wedding 27th, flying direct to Sydney on the red-eye Dec 29, arriving in the morn of the 30th. For those doing the Balmain NYE see Blowback for the latest news. Scheduled for FBI’s Weekend Overhang radio show Jan 3 and 4 at 7-10am. Tune in if ye be in Sydders. Contact me if you’re bearing gifts or good news :P Happy hols.

SYDNEY–A recklessly concentration-deprived FBI Allnighta tracklist follows. Couldn’t record the show, sadly, so there’s no streaming MP3s for you to giggle at my ineptitude. There are, however, still two 80 min sessions from previous programmes, online at the link above. Where’s me washboard?

Floating thru timeslots, yours truly brings 5 hours of RAWK and DITS to the Wednesday morning spot for this week only, maybe. A personal review – started with a flourish propelled by the ace freestylin’ on STOLEN RECORDS, a great middle order and some obvious slurrrrring in the latter stages. Mental note – have a nod before an Allnighta. Notable featured recordings – new Primal Scream r’mix disk on Dirty Hits, City of God r’mix disk. Notable absentees – anything by Stereolab… but not offshoots :P Adm/
