Been catching up on the London music scene, courtesy of Tom O's blog. Reading it only reminds me of my age. Street-level music? I think ska. But that time is measured in decades. Even my turn to electronica has grown long in the tooth -- it was nearly ten years ago that Oakley the Elder slipped me my first Fat Boy Slim CD. But how long can one do the Rockefeller Skank and still maintain a straight face?

My latest finds aren't even current: this Meatbeat Manifesto is a few years old already; and this Infected Mushroom I can't even find the sell-by date. I'm not even sure it's still acceptable to be as excited as I am over the recent Chemical Brothers release. Them geezers have been around for ages...

Anyway, I will continue to read Tom's blog, and will post outrageous comments there as well. Because I suddenly feel I have a lot to say about music.
