8th Doctor: The Witch from the Well

Posted by on in Books and Audiobooks

I listened to this a little while ago and was pleasantly surprised by what a great little story it was. I always enjoy stories where there are multiple simultaneous time zones involved. Although it invariably makes it a more complex to understand. But this was a good one. A great story with plenty going on and lots of pace too.

Thoroughly recommend it.

That’s a hell of a bar

That’s the backstage bar at WOMAD this year. It was one of the best interior’s for the backstage bar I’ve seen and was a great place to hang out in.

Liberator Chronicles Volume 1

Posted by on in Books and Audiobooks, Listening

I’ve now listened to all three stories in this boxed set, and overall I have to say that they were disappointing. It’s a real shame though. They had the potential to be way better than this, but the production was just not up to the normal Big Finish standard, and I’m a little shocked by that really. It leaves me in two minds as to whether or not to go for the next set of Blake’s 7 stories.

Maybe I need to take a closer look at the next set before jumping in.

Lo’Jo at WOMAD

This was an interesting band that I ended up watching late night at WOMAD. Quite a cool live presence. I’ve located them on spotify now and so I plan to give them a proper listen.

DS Homebrew applications

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

My friend Concreted0g (Jo) sent me this GB adapter for my DS Lite, and I’ve been looking at some of the apps on there. I’m hoping to spend a lot more time with some of these as they are a part of the history of the early days of mobile music.
