Random bits and pieces and comments from the week's goings-on.
Ryuichi Sakamoto concert at Queen's Hall
I surely didn't like the fact that Sakamoto's piano playing is essentially a mime, so much being streamed off computers hidden in the wings, but I hated the moralistic Helvetica'd climate change lecture on the fuzzy back projection; I walked out after 5 songs
Amanda Knox is innocent
you can't trust justice and its corrupt players in any of the world's courtrooms, let alone the highly suspect Italian judiciary, and I for one certainly don't trust this guilty verdict in the case of the death of Meredith Kercher; OK, all I have to go on is all the newspaper reports, but I can't see any reliable proof whatsoever that isn't just the usual bullshit demonisation, or coercion, of the young accused
DJ Benetti buttons
thanks to Marta, I have a small handful of the cute Cocadisco badges specially made for Saturday's fab extravaganza at Brixton; if you'd like one, just send me something for the postage

yeah anyone who makes music using computers should be killed
a read of douglas preston's 'monster of florence' provides some unsettling background on prosecutor giuliano mignini and the italian legal system in general, and leaves one even more inclined to doubt the culpability of amanda knox.
Yes. In short, conviction's a foregone conclusion when there's a connectionless defendant (especially a young foreigner).
thanks for the comments: I'll have to get that book - interesting to read of the background connections; there also seem to be small town anti-American undertones present in this case too, which the more you look at, the more blatant and shocking the miscarriage of 'justice' becomes
half-way through the book, it's superb - here are Preston's own thoughts on this new case before the verdict was announced: http://blog.seattlepi.com/dempsey/archives/131443.asp
Hey William,
I'd be interested in one of those buttons if you have any left. I live in the US let me know how much you want and where to send it.
luckily Marta just sent a few more, just paypal a couple of dollars to susanlawly@freeuk.com and your address, Charlie
Go here to see the trailer.

Well the button has arrived safe and sound, thank you btw. I did notice the black marker used on the envelope was starting to get a bit dry...
I was in a band for a time, merely as someone standing there ' minding the stoves' just because there was no way in hell 16 sep tracks could be played by hand by two people. It was actually a cd. No one paid for the performances, except as a bundle in club price with other bands.
Im sure RS also charged a fucking first born ticket wise, let alone dreary moralization of what is obviously a large scale corp sin not john six pack's lawnmower making me contemate violent murder at 8 am sunday morning.
