[have you ever been mellow?]

lately ive been feeling very mellow - not the genial and graceful mellowing that comes with age (and hopefully maturity, often there's no link between the two) but the kind of hollow feeling you get when you feel disjointed. it's as though my very intensity has been bled out of me.. and looking back on events it's probably very much a work-induced thing.

you know the drill: when you have multiple bosses, each of which wants things done his or her way, you often wind up doing the same thing over and over again - and as though that wasn't promethean enuf theres often a tongue-lashing to boot.. so it's more of the why-should-i-bother-anymore response.

it's also partly to blame on my recent cd selection: Norah Jones' Come Away with Me, a blues collection and Lisa Ono's Best 1997-2001. all nice soothing stuff, and very unfortunately, without any semblance of an experimental edge to them. im sticking very much closer to gilles peterson's selections in future.

there's hardly any fire in this post, either. now, im just a little lost lamb. hopefully ill find myself again soon.

but if there's anything worth championing, its this:
the BBC intends to publish all its archives of radio material etc on the web as open source material.
