Five albums I’d rather not live without
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006
It’s been a while since I posted anything musical, and given that I’ve not found a massive amount to shout about recently, here is a run down of the five albums I just couldn’t live without. Masterpieces which define my musical taste, without which I would be but half of a person. So without further […]
The Kooks
Saturday, February 25th, 2006
Watching the NME awards the other night, you could have been forgiven for thinking that other than the arctic monkeys, British music is a pile of steaming shit. When the nations ‘leading’ ‘musical paper’ nominates coldplay and Franz Ferdinand for anything more than involuntary euthanasia, it is perhaps time to question said publications credibility. I […]
Getting smart with iTunes
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006
The best part of iTunes, other than it playing host to my incredibly tasteful music collection, is it’s ability to create smart playlists. The ‘Smart’ thing is present throughout OS X, from smart folders in the finder, smart mailboxes in mail, to those in iTunes. I can’t help feeling however, that I’m not getting the […]
The Final Solution
Sunday, February 12th, 2006
After fiddling around with front row and MediaCentral a couple of weeks ago, it was obvious that neither of them really matched my needs. The main priority was to be able to get the music from a couple of iPods playing in the lounge…
So, on a recent visit to the apple store on Regent Street, […]
InstruMENTAL!
Monday, January 30th, 2006
Whether this is of any interest to anyone but me is debatable, but what the hell. I was messing around in Garageband and sort of playing ‘High and Dry’ by radiohead. I thought it might be fun to just roll with it and make a shitload of noise. If that sounds like something you would […]
My thoughts on MediaCentral
Tuesday, January 17th, 2006
In the pursuit for a music system for the lounge of my flat, I have been testing out a nice piece of software called MediaCentral. Still in the early stages of development, it’s fair to say that this is a free alternative to apples own media centre application - Frontrow, but it does have […]
Sigur Ros in Liverpool
Monday, November 14th, 2005
Last night was the sigur ros gig in Liverpool. I managed to get a ticket, and proceeded to see what was quite possibly the best gig I’ve ever seen. Running a music website, I used to go to a fair few gigs, and man, did I see some great shows, but last night, there saw […]
Truck Festival 2005
Sunday, July 24th, 2005
So this weekend was the culmination of a lot of hard work for a lot of people, the annual Truck Festival descended on the sleepy Oxfordshire village of Steventon. My role in the whole thing was the website, which was just one small cog in a huge machine of people who have put an unbelievable […]
