alive!
stuff: zooglobble is streaming a song from the new duplex record here. it is a song about evolution, originally from the leaky heaven circus show Bonobo, kind of an interspecies romeo and juliet.
as raff noted below, the doxa auction has started, which features a disposable camera that i filled with pictures such as the one here. which is my own film still from Grey Gardens.
and then lots of other cameras from actual celebrities.
i am going to be on cbc this afternoon on the show The Next Chapter, talking about moomins.
and today is anders’ 8 month birthday! i think he’s getting a tooth. not as his present, just as a natural development. for a present, maybe i’ll give him a usb cable to chew on or something.

Okay, so many great news!
The new Duplex song is great! Can’t wait to put my hands on the album.
And happy birthday to Anders!

Hey, Veda, what brass instrument is that in the Duplex song? A transverse flute or a mellotron? Maybe, something else…?

I meant “wind sounding instrument”. A real flute or a keyboard / mellotron… blah, blah.

hey raff
it’s a fake mellotron! a computer program, that i played through a keyboard. i wish i had a real one. that one is the flute sound from strawberry fields, by the by.
and happy bidding, jc! exciting.

Congratulations, and enjoy it, JC.
I was going to bid again at the last minute, but I didn’t remember my ID or password on ebay.

I may be convinced to print you a set Rafael if you donate to DOXA (minimum $100 say?)…(and sorry for using your site for negotiations Veda!) You can contact me through my blog if you’re interested.
And I’m still doing the happy dance.

Okay, JC, deal!
I have to figure out how to donate to DOXA, though.
I was checking their site, and they accept donations through CanadianHelps. That shouldn’t be difficult!
Thanks for the offer!
