and while i remember.... which is to say before i forget again.... meshmass is (or possibly are) officially the sound of childhood obesity. documentary makers at rutgers university (which is in the united states of america, incidentally, not in rutger at all) have asked us for permission to use 'guias sonores' (a very long piece which covers several continents) in a film about efforts to combat childhood obesity (variously described as 'an epidemic' and 'your own fault, fatty'). we are naturally flattered to have made such a glamorous field our own and are printing hundreds of (imaginary) t-shirts with 'meshmass - the sound of fat kids' written on them.
