Sick of travelling in ever-tighter little circles, I've re-arranged my blog bookmarks. Fairly haphazardly, it must be said. But I thought I'd share the Top 40 rearranged items with you, with a line about what's new on each. It's bloggo bookmark blammo!

Tokyo Style in Gothenburg
Preoccupied with Kaikaikiki soccer balls and Nobuko Hori, "graphic designer & [non-]musique enfant terrible".
david f presents
Sound files of great music, including this week Portsmouth Sinfonia.
jeansnow.net
Tadao Ando's Omotesando Hills building takes shape.
SHIFT BLOG
Dot Dot Dot and Geoff McFetridge.

Japan Live
Ken M goes out a lot in Tokyo to see new bands. This week he likes eccentric rock trio Limited Express.
David Byrne
David went to the West Indian Carnival in Brooklyn, and remembered getting his wallet stolen 20 odd years ago visiting it with Eno and Hassell.
player_pianoblog
O.Lamm is pissed off with people who style themselves "composers" and wants to make something as simple as "Sign o' the Times".
Masagoro
Cake and drinks as images of happiness!
slime_slime_sly's Journal
It's Mario Canario. He's seen Astrud live and is more scared of critics than real danger.
jasongray
He's got a nice deconstruction of Lumiere's "Train arriving at a station".
DIGIKI + TOKYO =+東京 digi nikki+
"In 45 days I must have found a job or I'm leaving Japan. And in 45 days, my new album will be completed." Drama queen!
Susan Surface
Susan is impressed (as I am) by the giant pink bunny sculpture on the Italian mountainside (by Gelatin).
T O O G
25,000 poetry contacts! Plus confessions: "I love women, it doesn't mean I fuck them".
chipple.net - Blog
Why do Japanese horror films always feature wells and hair?
Artblog.net
Trying to figure out why you see SAAO, or "the same artists all over".
Kissui.net
She loves people, and she lies by the riverside with her bro.
Tokyo Art Beat - Tokyo's Art and Design Events Calendar
They like the "Curator's Point of View" show in Saitama.
TACTICAL MUSEUM. Tokyo
There's an "autonomy network" in Yokohama and "parasite flowers" on a lamp-post in Tokyo. No connection, we assume.
Neomarxisme
Hardcore gay sex is going on while Marxy's back is turned. (He's on a plane, he can't complain.)
Lodown Magazine · Music. Sports. Entertainment.
They're plugging a Nick Walker exhibition in Berlin.
HUMaNS by MIKe MILLS

Golden Melodies blog
He's in Montreal, he loves hippy rock style, Alice Coltrane, and a band called Get Hustle.
roddy schrock
He's been to Muir Wood. He doesn't think Cocorosie are "folk", just a very creative duo. Ah, and he's started podcasting!

He designs imaginary products, like a machine for looking at the moon!
space debris presents...
He shares sounds; this time a whole album of Japanese Moog cover versions.

Hanging out with his little brother and disappointed by the election result.
Berlin Blog
"You can own your own pad in Berlin for prices lower than those in either Warsaw or Prague."
Arts & Letters Daily - ideas, criticism, debate
"Atheism used to be on the march, religion on the back foot. Times change."

Do musicians make music that fits pre-existing lifestyles?
The Play Ethic (links)
Richard Florida: "The dominance of the US is already over. Whether it suffers a long, slow decline, or rebounds depends entirely on how willing it is to restore its creativity and openness to full capacity."

Wow, I've always wondered how Click Opera fared in the ranking of all LiveJournals, but number 11 out of 8 million is incredible! This is a ranking by external Google hits, yes? I'm confused by the fact that the number 2 blog hasn't been updated since December 2004, but I guess one controversial essay can attract a lot of hits, whether you update or not.

just like you ... i also don't believe it ! i even used to be number one (http://www.livejournal.com/users/david_f/2005/02/08/) ... strange for a blog written in French. i took a screen capture when i saw it.

(but at the end i don't really care about that... but i enjoy the idea to have many readers and listeners, even of "not so easy" music)

It's probably just as well I didn't hear about this until now... I would have got horribly self-conscious and swollen-headed.

Er, hello world! Um, nice day... peace, out!

Once again Momus, you have given me more sites to bookmark. And after I've already cleaned up the damn thing!

And I have a question that has been on my mind ever since I became an active reader of Click Opera...where the hell do you find this stuff??

And congratulations on being in the top 10! Here's hoping that you climb up higher!
