• I keep saying Brandon Flowers is like the new Freddie Mercury, which led [livejournal.com profile] velvet to say, "Brandon Flowers is the Jesus Queen of Latter Day Saints."

• I've sent a few of you this interview about the Police, but it really must be read to believed. Even if you don't like the Police at all - actually, especially if you don't like the Police and/or Sting, you should read it. They basically go for each others' throats and it's quite like watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? I wish there was one for Morrissey and Marr, or Jason Pierce and Pete Kember.

edit:

Revolver: Synchronicity II is easily the best song about the Loch Ness monster to ever appear on a Number One album. Explain.

Sting: It's about two separate but synchronistic events. One, the Loch Ness monster...

Stewart Copeland: ...which is synchronous with...

Sting: um... my penis?

Stewart Copeland: Yes, yes, yes! A little boasting there, perhaps; a little self-aggrandisation, but what the hell, we'll let that slide. I remember we argued about the tempo of this one.

Revolver: Wait a minute. Sting, what's the Loch Ness monster really synchronous with?

Stewart Copeland: His penis, he answered that question.

Sting: Yes, my dick! It's another monstrous, hidden thing from Northern Britain.

Stewart Copeland: That comes out of the slime and that no one has ever seen, or believes in!

Sting: And the Japanese are fascinated by it!

Stewart Copeland: And a photograph of which would be worth a lot of money!

• Every time I end a contract I have a huge collection of mp3s that I haven't always listened through. I keep meaning to sort through them and failing. I spent about an hour doing so yesterday, mostly just deleting stuff I already have downloaded - or that Reg has - and importing stuff into iTunes and backing it up on my external hard drive.

• On that note, until yesterday I had no Explosions in the Sky on my machine. This horrifies me and I am making up for it.

• I got a Sansa Clip thing for music, which is cool in that it allows ratings but I don't have it in auto-sync mode, so I can't get the ratings to import back over. Or maybe I'm just missing something. Like a manual, since it was refurb.

• I really should use headphones when I'm mixing music, as my speakers are pieces of shite.
