comments comments are closed weekend of rock dave shaw london arts entertainment not only am i trying to cope with the steady flow of work related parties that have started to appear in my diary in the run up to christmas but i agreed to go out on friday with andrew dodge to the monster magnet launch party at the barfly in camden not that it takes much persuading when there is free beer and good music on the agenda we were treated to a live set from monster magnet and if you have ever been to the barfly you will know it is not a big place so it was a real treat considering they were playing the forum the next day and that s a big place as andrew points out in his posting covering the same gig we were mixing with the likes of kelly osbourne and die so fluid however what he does not mention is that he had the hots for grog their lead singer so we spent a large proportion of the night chatting to her not that i was complaining until the next day when i discovered i had lost my voice the following night was spent at the brixton academy watching the darkness play again i was with andrew with the added value of anna of leather catsuit fame from the bloggers party although this time it was not planned as we had both got tickets separately i have seen them live before and they did not disappoint on a second viewing their mixture of rock and irony give me a d give me an arkness is refreshing in the current world of dance and manufactured pop music you hear on the radio all the time on the way out we bumped into nik who had arranged the monster magnet party and his voice was worse than mine at least i was able to talk by saturday evening december 7th 2003 8 comments comments are closed data by the truck load 2 dave shaw london science technology about a year ago i posted this wondering how much data there was in a truck dai davies director of dante has answered my question via the bbc before now the highest data transfer speed was achieved by putting the tapes in a van and driving them to where they need to be analysed delivery vans can carry lots of tapes at the same time which means that europe s roads have a relatively high bandwidth you can send a few hundred megabytes per second through dhl i am still waiting for an answer to how many trucks there are though september 16th 2003 4 comments comments are closed i love free markets dave shaw london middle east islamic north american affairs the pentagon funded research agency darpa are launching something called the policy analysis market pam which is in its own words a market in the

economic health civil stability military disposition and u s economic military involvement in egypt iran iraq israel jordan saudi arabia syria and turkey as well as other contracts there has been some opposition to the idea senators ron wyden of oregon and byron dorgan of north dakota have urged the pentagon to drop the idea stating that the idea of a federal betting parlour on atrocities and terrorism is ridiculous and it s grotesque and useless offensive and unbelievably stupid trading begins october 1st july 29th 2003 27 comments comments are closed cut the bull s t dave shaw london

i said that i was thinking of making a my favourite music cd perry is always trying to get me to post things on samizdata so he suggested that i come up with my list post it on the blog and ask others to do the same in some way this may give us an insight into the types of people that read this blog i am not sure what we will get out of this but it s worth a go so please feel free to post your lists as comments to this post if we get enough maybe a super list of the favourite music can be compiled now i have put together tapes of my favourite music before but they have always consisted of music that i was into at the time what i wanted to do this time was put together a list of songs tunes that i would take with me to a desert island if i was given the choice desert island disc s style now i have started to think about it it is actually harder than you initially think i had to make one or two rules for my self just to make things easier i limited the number of songs to 15 thats about what you can fit on a cd mainly because i didn t want to calculate the lengths of the songs and add them together to see if they would fit and the second rule was that you can only take one piece of music by any particular person when i was thinking about what to put on it three tracks came straight to mind these have always been favourites of mine since first hearing them and have always been near the top of the pile of cd s or records that get played now all i have to do is get another 12 songs and i m finished i have been ill for the last week so i have had plenty of time to contemplate what i was going to choose the hardest thing to do was to not choose a song because it was a classic song you know the ones that always get chosen even if you don t particularly like them they just make you feel comfortable when you hear them what i was looking for were songs that i really really liked and could listen to for the next 10 years or so also i do listen to a lot of music and i have chosen not to put any of the new music i am listening to at the moment into my list this is purely because it hasn t survived the test of time yet i like it now but may not like it in a years time anyway less of my ramblings here is my list of my most favourite music if you don t like my choices i don t care because it s my list make one up and post it as a comment walking on
