a "city of the future" book - now graham's drunken tangents

[graham miller <grahammiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

that's the one! wow, time like this and the power of the internet as this
one giant cybernetic brain really impresses...  the link doesn't seem to
work, though...

on a completely irrelevant side vodka-infused note my beloved tvt-6000
video projector has been fried by yours truly in his attempt to dust it
with (flammable) compressed gas ... don't try this at home lest you have
several thousand dollars to spare... life is beautiful isn't  is? sadness.

that said, i am loving my super jupiter mks-80s, which (after many years of
sleep) has recently been awakened...god bless analogue synthesis... so
beautiful. all the synth pop tunes waiting to be penned can overwhelm...
arpeggiated heaven. what an amazing machine.

additionally, while i'm on this tangent, has everyone checked out the soft
pink truth by drew of matmos? very very beautiful funky ADD glitch disco
with a sense of humour... pop meets microsound.

off to bed... anyone have a video projector for sale??? i promise i'll lay
off the flammable gas, this time around...

shit.
