These were my words to a perplexed Korean tourist when he asked my to give an 'example' of English comedy.
I think I should have left it at "Back of the net".

What To Do If You're iPod Is Broken, No Computer Will Play 'Hooting And Howling', You Have Two New Frank Zappa C.Ds but Nothing To Play Them On....
...And also if you're really very desperate to listen to Bitte Orca, because at least three people have reccomended it you, and all the YouTube videos on this very blog are unavailable to you due to restrictions laid down by the Internet Cafe L.A.W.
Prescription:
1. Learn the tabla in Varanasi, three hours practice a day, one lesson a day.
2. Play impromptu little gigs on street to curious Indian men, who sing all over the top of it, dancing.
3. Take Indian singing lessons. Maybe just once.
4. Attend a concert every evening, enjoy them more and more per night.
5. Get yourself a new, better, guitar from Calcutta, decorate it all nice and pretty, and write, write, write, write.
Doctors orders, I'm afraid.
:o)

Past-time Pleasantries...
Here's just a few things that I'm liking at the moment.
This is Dan's brother, Ben. He makes very good songs.

I've been listening to 'Bitte Orca' by Dirty Projectors on repeat. It is one of the best albums I've heard in a long while. No doubt.

Another flash of Re-hash...
When I was away, it seemed increasingly evident that the idea of going 'dark' within indie music was becoming the new thing to do; much like when bands were tending to go all big, "epic" and stadium-worthy.
When I was away and travelling down the Australian coast, when tuning into various radio stations, it became quite obvious that 80's bands, particularly Joy Division and The Cure, are aiding a resurgence in the sound bands are lending their tendencies to. I don't think this is a really recent thing, just becoming gradually more popular; Editors were doing it a few years back now.
This isn't me having a go and I'm not about to dive into an anti-recycling rant, but merely observing. If anything, I'm sure we all have learnt to a certain extent, that that's what popular music has become- one big cycle, where now and then a particular period is pounced upon and reintroduced. Like it or not, I guess.
It just doesn't leave much to the imagination, really. That, or my faith in new alternative music.
But what can you do?
