all my deadlines have been pushed forward to fri - not the final deadlines, mind, but the presentation of the first draft, so that corrections can be done over the weekend. o_O the monday deadline still stands, so now its twice the amt of work (um, warped logic.. but whos counting?) in half the time. which kinda quadruples the work, i think! looks like its increasingly unlikely ill b able to head down to the durian to catch anything this weekend. assuming there's something to catch, that is.. quite interested in going for the NY Philharmonic when theyre down, just for the fun of it. anybody interested?

realised with a big D'OH that ive been neglecting all my favourite radio shows. sat i cant remember what i was doing, i plain forgot about Pete Tong's Essential Selection, sun i had actually *finished* watching metropolis by the time Gilles Peterson's Global Underground was on, i *knew* there was something i wanted to catch but i din noe wat it was and wound up half-listening to X'Ho's Hip Parade and Gosford Park on DVD. (its a terribly convoluted story, too..) and today, i clean forgot about the coke sponsored SoundLab on 987 at 2300-2315 mon-thu. caught the last 5 min, today's featured dj is from frontal labs and its quite a promising local site. speaking of SoundLab, i was *very* surprised a few weeks ago when i heard about underground parties - on national radio, no less - that have been going on for quite a few yrs now, to widespread acclaim.. flower parties, thats what i heard, last sat of e mth, undisclosed location, contact flowerparty@email.com, something like that. proof that were actually getting somewhere on e global music map... or the underground, to be more precise. im pleased, to say the least.

on the other hand, it appears that paul oakenfold AND gilles peterson have both been in town in the past week (if not the past coupla weeks), and i ***DIDNT KNOW***... okay not the paul oakenfold part. as usual i forgot. but gilles peterson, HERE? ~sigh. oasis' coming to town soon, wanted to scan in the flyer but then again theres not much point cos its a really common sight now.. deciding whether to go or not, prices are pretty steep and im quite sure tix are much cheaper in the uk (going by the listings in - what else? - muzik), plus theres a good chance ill be swamped with work as usual. but then again this could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance! not that im an ubergroupie of theirs, but, well, talent is talent.. theres no arguing with that.
