Blur

Saw Blur at the Astoria, reviewed it here, apparently the song they did with Phil Daniels is called "My White Noise" and is featured as the hidden track on Think Tank... nice that it's done as a REAL hidden track, not just tacked on the end after a b...

Stoke Newington Action

No Stokey action for several days now, stayed in last night, tonight going to Highbury Garage for *cough* some band *cough* because Corporation:Blend are supporting and a chum is involved in some managerial way...On the bus on the way in this morning...

Saint Rose

Missed Corporation:Blend last night, got to the Garage too late, but Saint Rose were the middle band on, and were quite MOR, but much better than King Adora... a poor mans Manics, when the Manics were a poor mans Guns'n'Roses......

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 ...

Bahia De Alcudia

"Guten Tag" as they say in Majorca... weather is fine, though we had one day of rain, food is shockingly bad, Clare got food poisoning one day. Not from the hotel though, we've not eaten much here. The guests seem to be about half English and half Ge...

Thieving bastards

Look out if you're coming to Majorca, the place is crawling with thieves. Actually no it's not, but we've encountered a couple of criminal signs... saw a couple of kids trying it on by the pool of our hotel, ripping off tourist handbags, and noticed ...

Holiday reading

While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a m...

Titanic Exhibition was good

You get a boarding card on the way in, a copy of one that would have been given to a real Titanic passenger, with their details on. They only printed up 80 men and 80 women, and though the guy on the door let us have a look through them all, we could...

Things to check out:

Kosso says "I just got hold some software called ShowShifter. It's GRATE. Works I bit like Tivo"

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...

MJ Hibbett and the Validators Christmas newsletter

It's the last working day of the month for me too! I don't think this means it's pay day though, as we should be working between christmas and new year, it's just holiday rather than shutdown. I very much enjoyed Mark's Totally Acoustic at The Lamb, ...
