Twitter Today’s news that actor Stephen Fry, famous for his uptake of all new gadgets and one-man publicist for Twitter, is “thinking about giving up on Twitter” got me thinking. (see Fry ponders leaving Twitter site ) Apparently he thinks there’s too much aggression and unkindness around….. well, dah? Not that I’m disagreeing with the [...]
MyBookFace CrapIntroduction I had an interesting referral from an external website early today. It was, http://kexhoxonxk.iblogger.org/ iblogger.com has a decent WHOIS entry and is USA based. However, the sub-domain bit is a bit iffy. MyBookFace.net If you follow the link, it’s immediately redirected to http://mybookface.net/ The tagline for this website is: MyBookFace is a friendly social [...] |

Sex and Death PhotosSex and Death, Death Sex, Death and Sex, AND the Death of Democracy. I’m yet again struck by the rampant hypocrisy from America. It’s citizens seem to think that everyone in the world has to follow their peculiar mores and morals to the letter, conveniently forgetting that they won’t abide by their own rules written [...] |

Peter Hook Meets the Plumber, the Astronomer, and Crawling Chaosa.k.a. How Internet Sites strip out Content for Their Own Purposes These are called feed harvesters or content scrapers amongst other terms and exist solely to copy other people’s content for the purpose of serving adverts, charging folks for getting good hit rates, hosting malware… etc I came across one while checking a Google [...] |
This is not nice and not on.I’ve an idea… I’ll get a Madonna CD, then upload the tracks on-line for paid download and claim the copyright for myself. Q. What do you think would happen? Q. Far-fetched idea? Try here for an instance of such activities: http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Crawling+Chaos/track/Arabesque?apv=1 for instance… (If it’s changed, it used to look like the screen-dump at left.)

Crawling Chaos – Neil Young – Sound QualityI had a message from Doomage recently which allowed me to update some biographical information on the Crawling Chaos website here, http://crawlingchaos.co.uk/myths/people, but also he expressed his disappointment about the online sound quality. Needles to say, I agree with the sentiment but am forced into this mode by the technical limitations of the medium. But at [...] |
Two Men Talk on the PhoneI’ve finally updated the Crawling Chaos website to reflect some extra personnel information from Holly. This fills in a few blanks due to my vacuous memory and non-presence at the later incarnations of the band. I’ve also changed the appearance (or theme, as it’s called) of the Crawling Chaos website to mimic the currently grey [...] |
The Honourable TedEddie Fenn aka Errol Dynamic aka Fatso from my Crawling Chaos days and aka The Honourable Ted I’ve just (re)found on MySpace here. I just had to mention it as it’s really good. Cheered me up immensely. I don’t know if it’s meant to be funny but there are some of his tunes that just [...] |
Angst in East Lancs WastelandAngst in East Lancs Wasteland This was the banner headline in NME I think for the gig at the Leigh Festival in 1979. Either that or Sounds or Melody Maker, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Sounds or MM. Two things stick in my mind about the gig (we played in the afternoon) apart [...] |
Rocket Mole has a girlfriendIt’s come to my attention that old steakncake has a new girlfriend. I think that if he’s superstitious he should change his name to Clive – or not mayhap! It’s a very moving love story. |

Holly’s CatHolly and Christina sent me a picture of their cat, and assuming that it hasn’t been photoshop-ed, looks like it belongs in the Guinness Book of Records, or something. Evelyn mentioned something about it but it just thought she was yabbering on as is her want. If anyone can tell me what sort it is [...] |
