BLEEP!!!

like salmon -- or burt lancaster -- we've been moving from "HotSpot" to "HotSpot" in search of the best wireless connection. although, nothing beats the free connection i swiped last night from the 9th floor of the Sir Francis Drake hotel... that'll teach you to sport rooms unequipped with broadband! Unfortunately, Raymond didn't have the same luck in his room. And as he must finish his review of final fantasy: crystal chronicles, we've hit the local starbucks for our current 'net fix.

i've got a couple of hours to kill before grabbing a cab to the oakland airport so i just decided to give warp's new digital distibution site, bleep.com, a whirl. guess what? it works! now, i doubt i'll utilize it that often, as i'm more inclined to purchase a cd for collection purposes, but downloading squarepusher's vinyl-only single in a nice, high-quality, mp3 format just seemed too good to pass up.

fan's of mr. jenkinson's work will likely appreciate his latest release. it sounds every bit as good as the last record, with the first track reminding me of a more subdued version of the first track on "big loada" (the warp release, not the nothing version that moves "come on my selector" to the top of the track order.) the first two cuts are exclusive to the single, while the third is pulled from his upcoming full length -- which has the sweetest artwork i've seen on an electronic release in awhile. i highly recommend checking out both the music and warp's little site. and you can download all three tracks for just under five bucks. not too bad.
