A new Sylvian album. Well, a compilation. A retrospective actually. I looked at the track listing. I’ve got them all except one. So the question is, do I buy it just for the sake of a single song? The answer? Probably.

Words that have been overused in 2011
There have been a few words that I’ve come to loathe when I see them in articles and blogs. Not because they aren’t good words but because they’ve ceased to be used as words to convey a meaning and are now just sign posts to signal a movement or trend.
They are:
- Platform
- Disrupt
- Curate
I’m sure that there are many more, but those are the ones that irritate me the most. I find that they just get used for no reason anymore, and then have no meaning whatsoever.
Routines
It’s fair to say that I’m a creature of routine. I like my routines. They help me make sense of the world. That’s what struck me the other day. It is just that.
My routines aren’t just convenient but are a method of translating the world into what makes sense and is understandable for me. When they’re broken or have to change it makes life more confusing.
