Song Of The Day #36.

Metronomy – The Bay Now despite not winning the Mercury and it in fact going to an artist who probably produces much better music, there is no denying this is a good song. It’s irritatingly catchy, mainly because I didn’t like the rest of the album much, but see what you think of this one. [...]

Song of the Day – Folk Special.

Seeing as how it actually feels like summer now, festival season is definitely here, and I’m cursing the days I have to be at work when I should be outside, here is a folk playlist for you all! It was too hard to pick but one song, so there’s plenty to choose from. I did [...]

KINDLE KINDLE! A new literary venture.

For me that is, I have been directed this week to look into throwing things out onto Kindle as it cuts out the “middle man” and you can, by the looks of things, publish whatever you want.. I might be wrong on that one as I’m new to this and there’s much to explore, but [...]

A Thought For A Sunday

Actually, this is more of a conundrum. Currently, Benchlad and I are King and Queen of Benchland, and this means doing all the shopping too. Which is a lot more fun than it sounds, especially when you get free money to do it with. But – and I haven’t actually thought of this one before [...]

The Tuesday Muse – Classic Albums.

I am currently working my way through the vast expanse (seriously, it’s bloody huge) of ‘classic’ albums that exist but I’ve never actually heard. i started with Radiohead’s ‘Pablo Honey’, Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ and Primal Scream’s ‘Screamadelica’, which all proved to be pretty damn good really, an awful lot better than I was expecting. Then I [...]

Song Of The Day #24.

The Decemberists – Down By The Water I think I am completely in love with this song. A new offering from what has to be one of the best bands around at the moment – really, they are epic, and so worth a listen – AND I’M GOING TO SEE IN MARCH – and who [...]

The Tuesday Muse – Pictures In Your Wallet

It is Tuesday isn’t it? I believe it is. Today, the subject of the Muse of Tues is wallets and what one keeps in them. I work, depressingly, in a sandwich shop in town, which means we feed what feels like the population of Bath on a daily basis, and I see a hell of [...]

The Tuesday Muse – The Human.

Are you someone who thinks the world owes you something? Or that you owe the world something? Are you someone who thinks we should care about the human? Or that humans are the worst thing to happen here? Is one life worth less than another if they contribute less to society? Or should all humans [...]

Song Of The Day #13.

John Williams – Schindler’s List A cracking theme from a not-very-exciting composer. Obviously, due to the nature of the film, it is a sombre tune, but try not to think of a lot Nazis killing many more Jews won’t you? This is a genius piece on its own, and although it fits in very well [...]
