arcade games

Walked the long way round Listria Park on the way to Church Street today, and saw two magpies and a squirrel raiding someone's bin. They weren't at all bothered by me walking so close to them.Also saw a discarded arcade machine on the road, all it's ...

News night

Channelfly was on newsnight last night, a feature about MP3's They interviewed some of my cow-orkers, very exciting. Shame they did it all on Friday when I wasn't here, otherwise I might have been on TV too. Looking forward to getting an mpeg rip of ...

Suede

Suede play London, 12th of December, bit steep though... do I do nothing but complain about costs? Am I mean? At least it's a proper gig that we have a chance of getting tickets to, after the fiasco that was the ICA.Latitude Festival 2012: Weekend in...

The Darkness @ The Barfly

Though The Darkness had played The Monarch 6 times before I saw them, this was my first time there, a week after the first time I saw them. I think....

Glastonbury Festival Tickets

Available now - great seatsWell that's what I've just been offered by a new Google ad... also it's a bit odd that Carling seem to have bought up a load of ads that appear when the Barfly is mentioned, linking to http://www.carlinglive.com...

Belle and Sebastian tickets

Lets see if I can do the same trick I've done with The Darkness, by reposting all Belle and Sebastian dates up here as they go on sale...Belle And Sebastian @ USHER HALL, EDINBURGH (Sun 14 Dec)More tickets on my Belle and Sebastian tickets page...Bit...

Three wheeled off road baby buggies

This is why there are so many of them; according to BBC newsIn London's Stoke Newington - the new Islington - there are said to be more children under five than anywhere else in EuropeLove how it refers to el presidente as "Labour's Tony Blair" too.....

The things you see when you don't have your camera

Hmm, actually it was only a crane on a truck picking up a car to paint double yellow lines under it, but it looked sort of cool. More double yellows are muchly needed along Manor Road, it's not really wide enough to be a bus route with cars parked ei...

Barfly admin

This AM, done some reporting for Barfly, which turned into a "they'll want this again next month, best to spend a couple of hours writing a script to do it"... Then more tiny reports and queries and fixes that ended up taking half of the day... Also ...

Barfly

Barfly are part of the company that I work for, they run venues in Camden (AKA The Monarch), Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool and York. I've made a calendar system for them that updates their website, and am currently expanding this.In a bizarre small wor...

The Fly

The Fly magazine started out as the listings magazine for the Barfly, with added editorial, and now it's the second biggest music mag in the country (in terms of audited circulation, not physical space - it'sA5)....

PopEx and Barfly again

Half a day's popex admin, and half a day's barfly development, will it never end...

Barfly changes

Just realised my method for calling in another table for big articles, though it worked, wouldn't have worked for everything we need - we'd have ended up with news stories on the front page of the site saying things like "plus special guests TBA", th...

RE: Barfly changes

It's going to end up another half day of popex, and half day of Barfly again... have tried chasing up Supervision Management to inspire them to use the calendar...

Auto unsubscribes for Barfly

Hmm, getting there with the auto unsubscribes for Barfly, the system is picking up on bounces now, and should automatically trim them, my inbox is going to get more and more managable! Still got to wait for some MX-record changes to go through though...

Barfly listings

More work for Barfly today, preparing the listings so they work as well in a multi-roomed venue like Liverpool as in a regular venue like Glasgow has been harder than expected... The listings have to be none-more-flexible, but also clear, think I've ...

Kings of Leon secret gig

Oh dear, Queens of Noize are in a situation, Time Out have said there's a secret Kings of Leon gig at the Barfly on the 2nd of Jan... there's not, updating the barfly website to reflect this misunderstanding......

The Cure review

Unbelievably, we got into The Cure last night at Barfly Camden, and here is my review... This was the Music Passport charity show, a privileged audience of about 200 competition winners and successful ebay bidders, and then a handful of people like u...

IPOD vs The Ramones

My IPOD seems to have some issue with the Ramones. I, uh, encoded some more Ramones albums last night, and even transferred all the existing tracks off the player back onto the PC (where they play fine), but still the majority of them won't play on t...

New Barfly site

this is a piece of work that's been kicking around for 18 months or so, and now it's finally gone live... it's not really that different to what's already there, but this time round everyone's been chased up to enter more useful info in the system, a...

Cure Barfly bootleg

Not sure of the quality yet, but check out these MP3's of The Cure's recent Barfly gig, part one and part two. I'm downloading them quick before they get pulled... Check out my Cure Barfly pictures, and relive the delightful abuse, to get you properl...

Chambers and The Fly

Just heard form The Fly that Chambers have agreed to take 300 copies of the magazine each month. It's free, it's A5 size, and it's about music, pick one up next time you're in there...

URL Encoding

Had a hiccup when trying to make content management system convert any content that's past through it to be valid HTML... my code for converting ampersands in URLs was messing about, making some bad URLs... so how do I convert & into & without co...

Neds Atomic Dustbin

Two gigs in one night, off to a club night at the Barfly after I think, where The Darkness were playing.

Green Day

Some special Radio One thing, got a nice freebie from friends I was about to start working with at Channelfly. Green Day picked some kids out of the audience and made them play a song.

Channelfly Xmas Party

Before I worked there, I think there were bands. THIS is why I left the Wonderstuff early, doh... There was a ruckus and the police sent us all home.

MCFLY

Devil Sold His Soul

+ November Coming Fire + Enter Shikari + Her Words Kill + Adler Falling. Please come we are hoping this will be the best yet! First band on stage by 7 with any luck, even if the flyers say 6. It's six quid but totally worth it!
