downtempo spy electronica

I love iTunes and the fact that it introduced me to a world of radio I didn't even know existed.

During a random browse with a few brief clicks here and there, I was listening to radioioJam in mere moments. I kept on listening for about three days! What a fantastic mix of music I could really appreciate.

Being a guitarist, I am a bit of a jazz head and I love the blues, so I am always looking for music that contains these musical essentials. RadioioJam had it all, and a little bit more besides. I will certainly keep dipping into this station via iTunes "eclectic" radio section.

SomaFM

A few more clicks brought me more recently to SomaFM and their Secret Agent stream.

"The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For Spies and PIs too!"

Since danger is never far away in my sleuthy life, I was quick to ensure a soundtrack accompanied my every moment, and even now, sexy, "downtempo spy electronica" backs this message that I type, in a way James Bond would be proud of.

With that I shall leave you all to explore the gold mine that is iTunes' streaming radio listings. Don't go below 128kbps if you want a pleasant, almost cd-quality experience.

I am off to find a beautiful woman, get her deeply involved in a russian/cuban/japanese drug plot I am trying to unravel, rescue her from the bad guys, before inevitably being unable to save her from her subsequent death, meanwhile my mission is a success and I will still be alive despite having been shot in the shoulder and fallen off a cliff in a burning music festival tent, living to go on yet another that will inevitably involve less convincing characters, larger, ever more bizarre set pieces, and a world I would only perceive mostly as green screen.

engage in solo activities

Spotted this More4 news blog about "How to cover a Wank-a-thon tastefully".  It brought a smile to my face so I have dutifully linked to it here.  Sorry I haven't updated as regularly as before, but I promised I would only post the interesting whilst avoiding general mundane meanderings.

I think it is great that Channel for have decided to have a "Wank Week".  People need to lose their hang-ups about this activity and celebrate their bodies and sexuality.  90% of people masturbate, and the rest are just lying (not a real statistic, but there has to be some truth to it).  I bet even Mormons masturbate, or at least engage in solo activities that involve some kind of... "release", that they choose not to call masturbation.  If people can seriously get by without wanking, they have the greatest of willpowers or a broken sex box.

Enjoy Wank Week safely, if its still on, and if not, make every week Wank Week.

I bid you adieu.
