« Nothing to see here, walk right by... | Main | Cornered »
We decided on Egypt in the end, somewhere near Hurghada. I'm not sure if we'll have web access so there might be a slight lull in the number of posts.
First time we booked a beachy holiday and I'm not sure what to expect, so I made sure to take plenty of brainfood and some pool fodder.
Could be a bit overambitious though (we decided to take the diving course too):

Garth Ennis: Garth Ennis' Chronicles of Wormwood
I seem to be on a bit of an Ennis binge lately after starting with The Boys, but this is actually just as good.
Bill Willingham: Fables: Legends in Exile (Vertigo)
How would snow white cope in the real world? And what would the wolf be like? Answers in here. I'm a bit too late to discover this and am having a hard time finding the second bundle, if anyone can help me out let me know.
Garth Ennis: The Boys: The Name of the Game v. 1
Garth Ennis produces another corker, an government funded anti superhero team saves the day. And this time they're the good guys...
R Gold: The Plenitude Creativity, Innovation and Making Stuff: Creativity, Innovation, and Making Stuff (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life): Creativity, ... Design, Technology, Business, Life)
Rich Gold was probably one of the most unique creative thinkers around, a truly multidisciplinary genius and probably far too modest. A must read for everyone involved in ideas, the form really doesn't matter.
Garr Reynolds: Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter)
Almost as good as the site. And the intro is pretty good when you're trying to convince people to stop using PPT as a bullet point generator.
Francis Preve: The Remixer's Bible: Build Better Beats
Fancy me building better beats ;-) This is quite good actually, I'd be better of polishing up on some of the basics but this has got some really cool tips and tweaks.
Crispin Porter: Hoopla
Probably one of the hottest shops around, so I was kind of curious. An intense experience for a book...
Mike Carey: Hellblazer: Gift
I've picked up on the series again, and it remains quite good.
Ernie Schenck: The Houdini Solution
Learn to think inside the box...
J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
It's over, and it was a great ride... fantastic stuff;
Various Artists: Kitsune Maison Vol.6
Latest in an excellent series, with highlights from Lo-Fi-Fnk and Grovesnor (a great Hot Chip remix)
Various Artists: Ed Rec Vol.3
Pedro Winter and the boys from the Ed Banger label are still very much alive. Some purists might try and tell you otherwise but they've still got it. Not for the neurotics among us though.
Hollywood Mon Amour: Hollywood Mon Amour
I'd never take this out on the basis of the tracklist, but the female vocals and the attention to detail to every last song on here makes it into something truly fantastic.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela: Rodrigo Y Gabriela [CD + DVD]
Oooh, fantastic! Sexy sweet latin american guitar sounds, but uptempo with a tight rhythm and more than enough balls.
Boys Noize: Bugged Out Presents Suck My Deck: Mixed By Boys Noize
Excellent overview of some of the hottest stuff from the past years (with some rare, reworked classics dropped in for good measure). If you want to get a taste of what a dirty dancefloor can offer today, this is a fantastic place to start...
Carl Craig: Sessions
Still going strong after so many years, and this (rare) compilation makes it that much clearer. And 'throw' will get you every time...
Hercules & Love Affair: Hercules and Love Affair
Ooooh, disco as it should be... Do check out the Frankie Knuckles remix of Blind as well.
Alter Ego: Why Not ?!
Funhouse techno redefined. Completely bonkers and all the better for it.
Daft Punk: Alive 2007
If you had not noticed, I love this album... this is Daft Punk at their best. Harder, faster, better than a normal album, and the crowd noise just makes it better
