Two cutesy adaptions (or derivations or mashups) that I thought I’d share.
Batman by Dostoyevsky. Fairly self explanatory, I believe.
The complete set of CDs from Mark Vidler’s mashups for download. I listened to CDs 1 and 3 last night. Some of them are rather bizarre mashups and the man appears to have a serious fascination with mashed up Michael Jackson (see what I did there?) but it’s all free!muzak!available!for!download.

There is no content here. None. Not that there ever was. I am merely breaking my self imposed silence for a while to note the following.
There was a Top Of The Pops 2 Police special last night. I somewhat shamefacedly admit that I could, in fact, sing along to about 80% of the tracks that were played. The only tracks in the playlist I didn’t know were the early punk era stuff. Ok, people. Sign #125 that drac is old. And we like it that way. My lawn. Geroff it etc.
I was vaguely tempted (when I saw the tickets advertised) to go see them in Manchester or someplace. However their tour is in September, so umm.. no. September is now designated as my month to panic and frantically shovel steaming piles of horseshit disguised as thesis chapters. October? Well, that’s when I stitch on my knee pads and prepare to grovel.
Also, Fool’s Gold and a six part documentary on the Stone Roses. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). I stole the links from Metafilter, although that discussion quickly disintegrated into a my-music-is-better-than-yours pissing contest.
And my recent listening has also included Genesis. Anyone spot a pattern here?

Yeah, this is one of those stream of consciousness type posts which is mostly random bits and pieces that are flitting through my head. When I go postal one of these days and start shooting the place up, these are the blog posts that a sensationalistic media will point to and say “yeah. he was nuttier than one of those fancy almond encrusted breakfast cereals. Why didn’t anyone see it sooner??!!”.
