Start Your iPods

When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted currents breed tiny monsters
True sailing is dead.

    The India Song (Alternate Mix) Big Star

    is that significantly different than the original mix ?

    cause that’s one of the few songs i absolutely forbid iTunes to play.

    Is track four “Evolove” from Propellor Time?

    yeah. misspelled it.. cause i read these off my iPod when it’s upside down. long story.

    Not very different at all. Vocals pushed back a little, there’s a few lines of acoustic that come forward, jingle sound may be a up a bit.

    No, you wouldn’t like it if don’t like the other mix. Almost indistinguishable. It’s from the box set, which I only got because I’m a completist.

    At last! We have a government. And what an interesting coalition this could turn out to be. And people think politics is dull?

    It was very exciting – I was glued to the telly. Unlike the US, where there is quite a long handover period, one lot leaves Downing Street and the other moves is – within an hour or so. Gordon Brown resigned at 7:30PM and Cameron was in number 10 by 8:45PM. Of course, we have a massive civil service in this country and they would of been briefed about the changes well in advance so the new cabinet can hit the ground running.

    Whether the coalition holds up remains to be seen – both parties are quite far apart politically. Should be an interesting few years. Imagine a coalition of centre-right Republicans and left-leaning Democrats running the US!

    One of the concessions to the Lib-Dems was a change to a fixed-term parliament with an election every 5 years, which stops the party in power calling an election when they think they’ll win. I wasn’t expecting this.

    Plus there will be a referendum on a fairer voting system, and although I would prefer a full proportional representation system, the Alternative Vote system proposed is better than what we have now.
