| Tenuosity |
Hello. Toys without irony is a webring for plush toys, or "soft" toys. I found MonsterFactory (sample pictured above) which is part of it. MonsterFactory has connections with Toronto-based writer's collective Tuesday. Someone who is involved with the Tuesday group has also been to a meeting of Dorkbot, which is a .. well, i'm not sure which, according to Wikipedia, is "a group of affiliated organizations worldwide that sponsor meetings of artists, engineers, and designers working in the medium of electronic art".
Anyway, there might be one in Edinburgh soon.

 Here is a picture from Mew rocking out from Finnishwebsite Mesta
MEW are playing Edinburgh Liquid Room this Friday, 23 Sept. Tickets £10.50 cash from Ripping Records, £11 by card. Mew have videos playing while they are playing. It is like art-rock except with more timings and pop punches. They like Stina Nordenstam AND crunch guitars.
Join me.
Mew's new album, Mew and the glass handed kites, will be BBC6Music's Album Of The Day on Tuesday September 30th. So there! It means someone else thinks they are good. |

| How do they choose the towns they show on the front of national roadmaps and similar atlases? Is there a rule or formula: Average number of roundabouts ÷ incidences of bird-related injury? Or just where a mapmaker's grandparents once dreamt of retiring to? |
