4. Finally, another Barry Adamson fan.

Did you get his newest one?

[Spider Jerusalem]

5. Yeah.

I liked it quite a bit. I was kind of surprised by some of the things he was doing, like the harmonica on "The Long Way Back Again", but it works...and some of the instrumental numbers are seriously kickass ("Dissemble" especially). I think my favourite of his albums is either "Oedipus Schmoedipus" or "As Above, So Below", but this latest one is still miles better than most of the other stuff I heard last year.

6. Here's what's playing on my Myspace profile

I have a flash mp3 player that can hold a bunch of songs. I got creative, recorded some radio-style liners, added my own DJ commentary and, of course, some good tunes. I change it up every so often.

Here's the current list. Nothing earth-shattering, but I figured I'd try for mass appeal on this one:

Stevie Wonder - Superstitious
The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize
Prince - Pop Life
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Knock Me Down
Marilyn Manson - Disposable Teens
David Bowie - Ashes To Ashes
The Damned - In Dulce Decorum
Public Image Ltd - Disappointed
John Lennon - Well Well Well
The Replacements - Unsatisfied
Talking Heads - Swamp
Moby - Bodyrock
The Pretenders - Human

The player can be found on my Myspace page:
