This Six Apart business: "Shut up, Rik. No-one's on fire."

Hint of smouldering: ljsm.pl needs some fiddling to work on older versions of perl. The results are pleasing, mind.

Le parkour: It's the Wasp Factory official sport.

Glasgow band called 'Errors': Bloody hell they're dead good. Post-Peel Peel is the new Peel.

Three women walk into a pub...

Or close to the start of the 21-1 section of the Festive Fifty.

You can`t post on there. I`ve turned LJ into a roller disco.

You complete fascist, etc!

Please.
Go and apply to radio one (and four) to be the new John Peel. There can be only one, but the more you write, the more I suspect you of channeling him.

:p

Last time I applied to the BBC, they said 'Piss off. Try hospital radio.'

"...And coming up in today's programme, we have tracks from The Greatful Dead, Cancer Barrack, The Dead Boys, Clinic, Morbid Angel and Napalm Death. But first here's Carcass with 'Fermenting Innards'..."

That's more or less what the podcasts were about, but it quickly became clear that I'd be playing old records most of the time, and that's what I don't go to clubs to avoid.

Although 'Dome' seem very fine.

I tried with Swarf.
Obviously they were gagging for it weren't they?

*sigh*

Parkour.
It broke a bit of me last night.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Which bit did it break? (He asked, both redundantly and nosily.)

I was sitting through most of it going 'Bugger, I wish I could do that.' The realisation that I'm probably about twenty years too old and crap to get into any sort of reasonable shape hit hard.

It's like t'ai-chi reinvented by JG Ballard.

I noticed that only one guy wore glasses and none were female.

Le parkour.. my sockets were all wincing, watching that.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

I found it inspiring. I still can't get it out of my head.

[metallikat.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was impressed... but I just couldn't see myself doing the most minor of movements without major dislocation.

Do you have to do the movements, or is it really just a question of following the straight line, despite any obstacles ?

When I was a kid in Liverpool we used to do this too. Of course in those days we didn't have the poncey names for it, we just called it "burglary".
