Where have I been ? Laughing with The Paranormalists

Oh yes,The Paranormalists, this is a podcast that is a must hear, a real must hear, it's not a copy of anything else, it's not trying to be anything else, it's enjoyable, good fun and superbly produced.
There are two stories currently to listen to: one about 'Minehead Elvis', I presume you have heard of Elvis, but Minehead is a place in the west of England in case you didn't know, and falls within the 'investigation area' of The Paranormalists.
The other story is about 'Brown Willy' and I think I'd better just let you find out for yourself what this one is about.
Anyway get yourself to the website http://www.paranormalists.co.uk
or get downloading at http://www.paranormalists.co.uk/podcast/paranormal.xml
You will not be disapponted, however you may find that your time gets used up and if like me you are trying to get the cafe decorated you may easily find yourself falling behind schedule, but it is worth it, after all life is not spelled w-o-r-k!

Dream Theory



At last we have some music for the cafe.As much as I enjoy listening to audio drama, and wait to see what lovely delights I'm bringing in later on in the week on that front, but today I've just received a beautiful new laptop which I've connected up to the cafe speakers, and for your further listening pleasure here is Jon Hassell's track "Courage" from his sublime CD 'Dream Theory in Malaya'.It's excellent for getting things done to or simply laying back and drifting off into or dreaming off into or floating off into....

I've also come across a fascinating article which inspired the whole musical project, which does include Eno amongst others, in case you needed any other incentive to go out and get yourself a copy of the whole CD.Anyway the article is well worth a read, it's all about a community in Malaya who utilise dreams as a way of having a more balanced society.
