"American humorist, Erma Bombeck, drove across North America with her family to see what they expected to be a thrilling natural phenomenon. When they reached Moncton, she wrote, "A trickle of brown water, barely visible, slowly edged its way up the river toward us with all the excitement of a stopped-up toilet...I retained more water than that...It was a long time before anyone spoke. About 5,000 miles to be exact."" |

my hometown is called Melitopol. Right now i live in Kiev, visiting my family in Melitopol rather seldom. is a page with photos - they are old soviet postcards scanned. The town doesn't look like that now - it is in province, and its municipal structures are not much concerned with the looks of the town, or lack resources for that. It looks decaying - broken roads, rotting autumn leaves on the sidewalks, dog shit and garbage everywhere. Only a small surface of town is made more-less tidy, near some shops which are businesses of local rich. I have sent music home for my two younger sisters - Autechre, RDJ stuff, kotra, Goodhands Team :), and so on. They gave it to their friends when they asked. When these friends returned discs back, there was misunderstanding on their faces (reported). When I came home, they looked at me as if I was from another planet, or, at least, in need of psychotherapy. The town has been invaded by few supermarkets, people find it okay to go far to shop in them, 'as seen on TV'. Fuck. The whole town can be crossed in an hour and a half, by feet. We can reach edges of town in one hour from our place, by feet. Population - not more than 200,000 ppl. Actually, not more than 150,000. There have been some explosions near Melitopol - in 30 or 40 km north. All news sites and papers said that Melitopol has exploded but this is lies. Not a single piece of bombshell reached the town. photos , , -------- Image: The Rocky Mound. Archaeological site 4 km north-west from Melitopol. A heap of stones with some ancient petroglyphs on them |

"misunderstanding on their faces" nice title of a track that would be. it's quite the same musical situation in my area [ Poland, western border, small town ], people here are mostly into radio mainstream hip-pop gangsta shit. |

Cirencester (where I live now): Second largest roman settlement in the UK (largest was london). It has 3 names: Cirencester (the modern), Zoiren (The celtic) and Corinium (the roman). It is the capital of the Cotswolds district. It is right next to the Cotswolds water park- a huge colleciton of 26 or so man made lakes. They cover a bigger area of land than the norfolk broads! Barry (hometown): When I was in my teens (although not because of me!), Barry had the highest juvenile crime rate of any town/city in europe. Thanks to our corrupt council, Barry was the only place in the UK that permission has been granted to build new houses on previously undeveloped headland, this millenium! Barry has the second highest tides (Ie largest difference between high and low tide) in the world. Barry used to be the largest exporter of coal in the world (main port for the vallies coal mines.) |

dublin: - one of the most expensive citys to live in in Europe. My mother bought her crappy council house in 1990 for 28K, its now worth 300K. I mean.. hello! average rent is about 500Euro/month - smoking is banned in all public buildings..resteraunts, pubs, clubs etc.. and it works fine - recently got a new tram system and there are 2 tramlines and an average of 58 crash per month! - is a magnet for quality electronica except for VSnares who let lots of people down last autumn by missing his flight - has the most hard-ass women in the world to chat up - is filthy, dirty, expensive, cold, wet, badly laid out, small, sprawling etc but great craic and full of characters and nice pubs! |
||||||||

Forgot to add - With it being the birthplace of radio we have the lamest selection of radio stations and a non existent music scene....If only mr Marconi could see the place now |
