Rob Camp rambles about life

The Shaving off of a Moustache

It had been on my mind all day. Maybe under the surface, for a while longer. Despite constant trimming, It was starting to look shabby to me. Unbecoming of me. This is odd because I’d previously liked all the traits that it had delivered unto me. Set me apart, English gent, suspected hispanic blood, etc. Even people taking the piss saying I looked like Clark Gable endowed me with a certain compliment.

Lost my Blackberry so I’m watching Vidz to cheers myself up

On a night out in Brighton I managed to lose my phone in the taxi on the way home.

This has somewhat crippled my ability to communicate effectively with mates.

To cheer myself up I went on a hunt for MySpace videos of classic hardcore that I like. Here’s five that I love and that you should listen to. These will be old news to hc afficionados but for anyone else, check this. It’s stuff like this that buzzes around in my head all day.

The Rob Camp Guide to Damnation A.D.

This is my guide to Damnation A.D. from Washington, DC. This is by no means an all-encompassing guide to Damnation A.D. as, for reasons of personal taste, I’m totally going to omit to mention their last two albums bar this sentence here.

Update on Menna’s Race for Life

Just to let you know Menna did the 5km run in about 29 minutes and has so far raised £301. That’s about a tenner a minute or 60 quid a mile.

My friend, Stet, who’s a competitive runner did a similar distance the same weekend in about 18 minutes so for someone who’s never done distance running before, Menna did pretty well.

Menna still has a couple of weeks to receive sponsorships. If you’re feeling generous, please donate money at,

YOu can give as little as £2.

Cheers for reading.

Race for Life – Brighton – Sunday 1st July 2007

This is Menna,

She’s an amazing person, an absolute nutter and a constant source of joy to me. Enough of my fawning though, I need to tell you about what she’s doing for charity.

Popmeter – Ultimate 60s Podcast

It’s the weekend (although you wouldn’t know that from the time stamp – that’s what I get for not hosting myself) and I like to chill before the Pizzaman arrives by timewarping myself back to the 60s to listen to some stomping soul and wayout garage.

Go to www.popmeter.com and download the podcasts available. If you dig soul and garage, you’ll love it.

Have a good weekend.
