Definitely one of the remixes of the year. Press play on tape:

Bonus video (in no way related to the track): I was in Liljeholmen this fine evening, surrounded by snow while watching a lake with ducks in it, nearly getting hit by a bicyclist. I wouldn’t dare bicycle in this weather, snow tires or not, and I’m very happy about sitting at home right now, just typing away instead.

Retraction of the day:

The Official Morrissey Webstore wishes to apologize to Morrissey store mailing list members who may have seen the mass e-mail advertisement that was sent out after Thanksgiving which mentioned eating turkey. Morrissey is a strict vegetarian and abhors the killing of defenseless animals for food. This ad was not endorsed in any way by Morrissey.

I’m quite sure somebody’s having his skull…you know.

N900 geekery and materialism in the extreme:

Today I got word that Tre were to release the Nokia N900 for pre-bookings. Wee! So I waited. Nothing at midnight. Little wonder. In the morning: nothing. A little later I twittered Tre, who said I could call customer service to book my N900. YES! I did, spoke with somebody who told me I had a copy secured. I extended my phone subscription for 24 months following this.

At lunch-time I got a bad feeling. I called Tre’s customer service who confirmed what my gut told me: no phone was booked and no subscription had been extended. Holy damn. I asked for somebody’s boss. They said they’d bell me within 48 hours.

Three minutes later Tre tweeted something about there being no need to book a N900 since they’d receive “big volumes” of the phone come the third week of January; it’ll be a perfect b-day present for me.

I called their customer service again, booked the phone and extended my subscription; I then tweeted Tre who couldn’t help me – naturally – but called customer service to double-check, and they confirmed that my phone will be delivered in the third week of January. Wee!
