there is supposed to be a 25, but it is going to be a folkey mix and at the moment, my folk tendencies have deserted me for purer, greener thresholds.

So here is a mix taken straight from the cellar - not a pulp fiction/gimp cellar, more a Zappa standing in treacle kind of cellar, heavy turn-ups and no socks.

Nights Out - Metronomy
Dear God - XTC
Any way the wind blows - Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
Every Artist Needs a Tragedy - No Age
Surf Solar - Fuck Buttons
Infinity Guitars - Sleigh Bells
I Can't feel it - Ty Segall
Lost in the Woods - Pete and the Pirates
Fot i hose (Captain Credible remix) - Casiokids
Porno Disaster - The Octopus Project
Lazy Bones - Wooden Shjips
No Friend of Mine - The Sparkles
Smile Now - Thee Headcoats
I'm Ready - Muddy Waters
We are happy Landfill - Gorillaz
Luna - Fanfarlo
Post break-up sex - The Vaccines
I am a Cliche - X-Ray Specs
Shangri-La - Robert Maxwell

It runs in at just over the hour - ('the' hour, the one right after the one you hadn't heard this yet) and I have no clue what it could be used with - cooking, perhaps - drawing, perhaps - gardening, maybe - getting rid of your X Factor "friends", definitely.

And a bit of cover art to accompany -

Ingoi!

about time and the reason is since I had the shit kicked out of me a few days ago I haven't been able to work - and feeling sorry for myself - has to be said, when you get kicked across the pavement 3 or 4 times, unable to lift your arms to even protect your face - shit, some fat steroid munching fuckwad who does not deserve to walk the streets let alone terrorize them - but what am i to do? get bitter? hell, yeah! so listen to the tunes and decide for yourself - has marc got bitter, or does he still have a questionable taste in music?

Islamic Bomb - Jello Biafra & The Melvins
Saying Dub - Jah Thomas and Radics
Tempo 116.7 (Reaching For Dangerous Levels Of Sobriety) - The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Pow Pow - LCD Soundsystem
Fanfare - De-fence
Laughing Gas - Neon Indian
Right Place, Wrong Time - Ray J
Barbra Streisand Is An Island - Plök
Crumbs - Sebadoh
(Circle) - Boredoms
Jailhouse Rock - Dean Carter
Stupid Fuckin' People - The Bellrays

as for my questionable taste in music, that is for me to decide and you to endure. sleep well

(yes, a tad pissed off at the moment)

There has been a while between this post and the last, not to mention the thought even of a podcast/playlist (on this note, my local library has been closed down and moved to another location, unfortunately, further away from where I live. And now I don't go as much. I tried; I mean I went and took a few things out but because of the distance, I wasn't as active in returning the materials and hence got slapped with some hefty overdue charges. So, I hope other people who live close are now using the library as I used to when it was around the corner from me) (on another note, sitting at a google party at the mo and they are playing the Rocky theme, instead of air guitar, we now have air boxing(not even shadow boxing))

So, the lapse in material over the last couple of months...? Well, to be honest, if I haven't been too busy with rigging work then I have been too lazy with holidays and relaxing. And now time has rolled on and I need to again think about the future. And, (and here is the big one) I was a tad disappointed about my exam result. I got a 2, which in the Danish scale is the lowest mark you can get to pass. I was told by the examiner, my tutor, that I had done the minimum to pass. I can see where he was coming from, but, and I have reread my report and didn't think it was as bad as he portrayed it, the sublety of trying to explain something that can only truly be grasped through use rather than explanation, fell flat with my tutor and the external examiner. The first question I asked them in the exam was whether they used twitter, and both replied no. So there I am, talking about a tool they don't know, in a situation they may be familiar with, but have a hard time seeing from a different perspective - it was, to quote bill hicks, a little like showing a dog a card trick.

Enough, so here i am... Looking to go forward again, and wanting to publish once more for your beautiful entertainment!

#marcsexam post 2

At my BA exam today (15.40 CET) I will be giving a presentation on my project work over the last few months. It boils down to how we can communicate with as little "noise" as possible - and noise in todays media saturated world basically comes down to distraction.

I don't want to cut down on the level of choice media users have but in my report, which I will make public in the next few days, I have come up with the idea that social media, when used in the context of "the captive audience", can be dictated by the captors for the best benefit of the audience.

For instance, when we enter a theatre to watch a play, our media is what is going on on the stage, we have entered into an agreement with the theatre that that is the way we want our media.

So why not when we enter a shopping center, for example, should that shopping center dictate the form of communication it makes for the best benefit of its' customers to promote the retailors?

I prepose, in this situation using Twitter which could then be displayed around a shopping center projected onto walls or showen on big screen. As an example I have set up a web page (with some help) that displays a live twitter timeline (or it will, come the exam) and a little javascript to show some images for interests sake -

- the twitter timeline will show any tweets that mention the hashtag #marcsexam (and I will say it again, this is not my carnal knowledge early in the day) just to give the examiners an idea of what could be going on on a screen in situ.

that be it and wish me luck!

#marcsexam

If you are reading this, it is because I have been kidnapped and....no...hold on, that is the message for the other blog!

If you are reading this it is because you are interested, or at least curious, about the #marcsexam hashtag I have been firing around for the past week or so. The reason for this is because tomorrow at 15.50 I have my final exam at the design school and during this exam i will be presenting a live Twitter timeline that will be specifically following this hashtag and certain @´s that I have invented for the purpose.

If you remember and are so inclined, I would be most grateful if you could send a tweet using the #marcsexam hashtag around this time (Danish time btw, so it would be 14.50 GMT for ref.) and any message will do - nothing unpleasant please, though perhaps just asking that will invite waves of abuse and I should just keep my trap shut! Well, it is up to you :-)

So, here goes.

(This of course only applies to those of you that have a Twitter account - or you can make one at....you guessed it, twitter.com)

had to get this out there.
