Kayo Dot isn't post metal though. (Dammit, you beat me to it, James. ) I could give you a recommendation for either band, but I'd need to know what you're interested in.

And yes, he does. It's already become an addiction for me.

Kayo Dot are here as Exp Post Metal, though they may not be elsewhere

Experimental Metal.

Not so much Post.

I think they may have even been Avant-prog at one point but I think I'm getting them confused with maudlin of the Well.

love Present

So in those terms, I do not feel that they want me.  Although I do seem to get on with the staff... although at the same time I don't.  It's hard to explain. I have 'til Monday to apply for it and erm... I have a day off Monday, so that's not good. I do have one advantage though: I know the system already having worked there for 3 months.  Although I am still learning new stuff. I really am not sure though if this is a kick in the teeth or they want me to work there.  Do you think I should mention it on Friday when I'm back, or do you think I should just fill in the Application Form and not mention it?

It couldn't hurt to ask them about it. Let them know you're applying for it or that you want the job. All they could say is no.

I basically need to stop time, so I can actually listen to music again.

I've been playing Dragon Age: Origins in my spare time (not all of it, mind you).  I still have 2009 albums to hear before year's end too.

Bad times.

True.

I shall ask my advisor tomorrow for her opinion.  She may have some insight (incite?).

It has annoyed me a bit though.  Nobody has once mentioned there was a job available.  I wish they had done so, to be honest.  True, I have had Tuesday and Wednesday off but they would have decided there was a job available last week and I was in Monday and I did call in the other two days.  All it needed was a "by the way, your job is now available for part-time paid work; you might want to apply for it".  Of course, if they don't actually want me, then fair enough.  But I am a little put-out about it, nevertheless.

I have two Coltrane albums on CD myself now.  I just haven't had the time to play them yet.  I also have some Mingus (who I may actually end up preferring over Coltrane) and Ornette Coleman. just picked up Dakar which I love and Olé which is also very good.. still want Transition, African Brass, and Settin' the Pace Ah, I actually have a three-in-one CD which includes Dakar on it, so I'm a happy chappy.'tis Blue Train/Soultrane/Dakar
