Another more personal edition of my audio blog podcast, My PostModern Island.

In this episode I discuss my revolution at men who love their technology, such as those using £20000+ video cameras to record wedding videos and equally expensive audio mixers and mics to record podcasts as mundane as this one.

I also talk about the suit I’m making For Vincent Harmony and share a childhood memory about seeing and extended cut public service announcement.

Music this week is provided by a band called .22 from the PMN.

Tracks: Ninefurseiben, Gun and Busted From from the album Screw

As some of you my know I’ve been inputting apparently random blocks of text into SpainfulX received in the form of spam. Some of the longer pieces have proven to be very interesting given that there are generated by machine for the purposes of disrupting spam filter software. None the less it could be argued that these pieces of text are in fact secret nuggets of information disguised as spam.

Anyway, not everything I receive gets puts on the database. At the moment I’m only adding pieces that fill a page, the shorter pieces are deleted. None the less a gentleman vlogger called Paul Reyno has been kind enough to forward a very interesting piece which I believe merits a mention here in the spamoetry section. There is also a long to his vlog at the end of this post, worth checking out.

Here is the poem:

downbeat try osier on krueger
the dauphine be lingerie
some shu in freddy in
transference but stair
or hanoverian see slowdown
but bedrock it’s dead on
garish be firewood a cabin.

cheetah try probe
alden try unison
it’s geyser or anxiety
site and anglo not copperhead
in snobbery,

greenish in demitted
the collate the effusive
steed and cardiovascular
it’s adjunct a freedmen
the Keine try illusive
the twiddle may see dunlop
some chairman it not attendee
it’s burma try bemadden

If there is one recurring dream that has plagued me for years then it concerns the 1966 film Daleks’ Invasion Earth: 2150AD. I really don’t know why, while I quite enjoy the film and perhaps watched the video a little too much as a child I see there is no reason for constant bombardment of dreams in which I’m either watching alternate versions, on set during a remake, or more likely with in the reality of the film itself. (The latter being the most common).

Last night I dreamt there was a Sweeney style 1970s version which someone who looked a little Martin Shaw was running about, sliding off the bonnets of cars etc, whilst being chased by Ferrari yellow Daleks.

It was easy enough to re-colour the existing movie Dalek mesh I have so here’s the result.

edited 25 September: So I found out today that whilst I’ve been dreaming about new and wonderful secret remakes, re-cuts and sequels to this silly little film that in real life it has only this month been reissued. Really odd - as is somehow I know.

I was in HMV today and saw the new boxed which included the phase ‘never before seen original cut’ and I almost wet myself. Perhaps this is it! This is the version that has the special weapons dalek, the glass dalek with Davros inside, the golden fucking emperor! But no, for sadly none of these exist as they were all dreams. This version apparently has 10 or extra pixels of image down the sides, and that’s about it. I really wish they’d give it the George Lucas touch, if any film didn’t deserve it this one certainly doesn’t but maybe I’d get some closer.

Hold the new boxed set in my hand, as if in a dream a dream again will no doubt bring about more dreams so I’ll jot any down if they are of any interest.
