Fuck, I’ve got a blog. There’s a whole host of reasons I haven’t posted since September, chief among them the fact that as a professional software developer, web advocate, occasional electronic musician and life-long nerd, it’s rather nice to have an offline, analogue hobby, i.e. buying records in actual shops from actual people, listening to them and generally messing about with them without having the whole bloody thing mediated through networked digital technology.
Nevertheless, there is a whole bunch of stuff I want to share with you, not least some of the musical tangents I’ve gone off on in the last four months or so, so I’m going to make another go of this blogging thing. In the mean time, here is a mix of some dubstep tunes that I was sharing with a few mates during my Christmas break up in Grimsby. I had to choose between two mixes: one had better mixing but omitted some important records; the other included more records but was mixed with wrists made of chalk (I really flubbed the mix into Infinity Is Now). I’ve chosen to share the latter here, needless to say, it’s now 2009 and these are 2008 tunes, I have much more to share though so check back soon….

i’m also 97% sure i got blanked by Peverelist tonight. i think he didn’t want to be recognised so, like me, he was cunningly wearing a Punch Drunk t-shirt. “are you Tom?” i said. “no”, he said. oh well.
