Slightly more can be found at The Holy Church of Iggy the Inuit.

A slight miracle happened last week in Belgium.

The Holy Igquisition has been summoned to investigate the many rumours that an article in the March issue of the highly appreciated music magazine Mojo, In My Room, written by Paul Drummond, uses many facts and figures that have been originally published by the Holy Church of Iggy the Inuit, but without acknowledgment whatsoever.

Here are the songs my iPod stuck me with in January 2010.

Love's A Loaded Gun    Alice Cooper
Union Of The Snake    Duran Duran
Journeyman    Iron Maiden
The Mole From The Ministry    The Dukes Of Stratosphear
Newborn    Elbow
Teardrop    Massive Attack
Afraid Of Tomorrow    Gary Moore
This Heaven    David Gilmour
Watching The Detectives    Elvis Costello
In Dulci Jubilo    Mike Oldfield

The nifty graph can be found, as usual, at Felix Atagong's Unfinished Projects...

As if the world has suddenly been hit by a temporal rift in spacetime the March 2010 issue of Mojo music magazine has hit the stores bearing a big (slightly photoshopped) portrait of a mister Syd Barrett. The well-written and rather accurate cover article, by Pat Gilbert, ranges from page 70 to 81 and tells the story of The Madcap Laughs, Syd Barrett’s first solo album.

History repeats itself just like the chicken at the zoo that perpetually wanted to pick some breadcrumbs lying inside the monkey cage but got hit each time on the head by a vigilant monkey carrying a stick.

My iPod was quirky as always and wanted me to listen to the following songs (in December 2009):

Lavender Marillion
Arnold Layne Pink Floyd
Etude (long version) Mike Oldfield
Prisoner Of Love Tin Machine
Things Can Only Get Better Howard Jones
The Picture Son Volt
Expo2000 Kling Klang Mix 2002 Kraftwerk
Where We Start David Gilmour
Alifib Robert Wyatt
Incantations - Part Four (Excerpt) Mike Oldfield

ArianeB 6.1
Since a couple of weeks the dating simulator ArianeB has been upgraded to version 6.1. The changes have been applied to the html pages alone and as far as I could check no images have been tampered with. Apart from some bug fixes the story is identical to that of version 6.0.

Desire and Submission
Shark, from Shark’s Lagoon, has once done it again and leaves us with a nice Christmas bonus. He has teamed up with a few people from the Shark’s Lagoon forum and together they came with a new flash game called Desire and Submission, always staying within the limits of Shark’s universe, meaning that the adventure is rather witty than offensive or vulgar.

Shark’s games are a mixture of point and click simulation adventures, graphic novels and/or interactive movies. The story develops in the usual way, with people talking to each other through text balloons and a next button to proceed to the following scene.

Once in a while the story is halted, the mouse pointer changes into a circle and it is up to the player to trigger the following events. Desire and Submission contains adult topics, adult topics we adults like so much that we can’t have enough of them. Well, some of us do.

I recently came across Dave Eggers’s non-fiction book Zeitoun and it enraged me at a point that I had to take physical distance from the novel from time to time.
