Walls - Hang Four



Loving this ambient techno track from Walls. First heard it live at the Field Day festival last weekend. It truly felt like a wall of sound coming at you. If I had the means to make music, this is pretty much what I would aim for. But even better, obviously. ;)

British-ism of the Week (23/02/09)

"Alright" (British saying) Similar to the previous British-ism, "alright" is a way of saying hello and asking how someone is doing packed into a single word.

But something about the phrase crosses the realm of rhetorical greeting and lands in the realm of sincere, sympathetic question. I guess it's because I'm used to people asking "Are you feeling alright?" when someone looks depressed or upset. I say all this because the first few times I was asked, "Are you alright?"
