Another photo I’d completely forgotten, and I’m actually quite pleased with it. I think it’s a really good shot.

Changing the way I think about listening

Using Spotify over the last few weeks has made me start to re-evaluate how I listen to music, or more specifically how I discover music. I’m quite intrigued by the idea of sharing playlists and collaborative playlists, and the whole concept of subscribing to a playlist. I think that I probably need to spend some more time getting used to this stuff before I go publishing and sharing my own playlists all over the place.

But listening is changing, probably in a good way, and I feel like I need to catch up and understand it better.

Romo is going to get fixed

Well it looks like the lovely people at to motive have come up with a solution for the EU smartphone volume problem and have established a little outpost I Germany to the main board firmware updated.

So ish all be sending off my board in the next few days in the hope of getting it back soon so I can finally use my Romo.

When it happens there’ll be posting. Much posting.

Songkick

A friend told me about SongKick the other day and I found that there was a Spotify app for it too. It’s a really useful for finding shows for people in your music library, and the fact that it works inside Spotify makes it much more useful. I’ve already found a bunch of shows that I might go to now.

I suppose from that point of view it isn’t so great as actually it’s ending up costing me!

A man in Brixton playing a tuba with fire

As I was on my way to see New Order yesterday I saw this chap in Brixton who was playing a tuba, and with every note that he played a small burst of flame came out of the tuba. I’ve no idea why he was doing that at all, and he appeared not even be collecting money at all.

His playing was quite good too.
