My copy came through the post. It’s a nicely produced object. I’m glad I went for it rather than just a download. Although, I would’ve like it if they’d put it on vinyl too.
Blancmange, Commuter 23 CD
Month: March 2016
Some music from me from ages ago
I made this ages ago but realised that I hadn’t made it public in my SoundCloud account. It was made entirely using Bhajis Loops. So I thought I’d post it.
Nice face for your Pebble
Whilst I wouldn’t use it all the time, it’s kind of cool. I do like it. Fun, but also it does have a battery indicator and bluetooth icon as well, so it’s pretty useful too.
Listening to the new Blancmange Album, ‘Commuter 23’
It came out yesterday and I listened to the whole thing whilst I was out and about. I think that this is an album that is going to need a lot more listening. A lot more consideration. It isn’t just a bunch of electronic pop songs. There’s some deep stuff in there that requires careful and diligent listening, not just consuming.
It’s difficult to find time to do that kind of listening, but, as I’ve been a fan of Blancmanage for a very long time now, it’ll be worth it I’m sure. So when I’ve done that. I’ll let you know what I really think.
Torchwood, The Victorian Age
I have to say that I wasn’t looking forward to this story. It just didn’t appeal to me at all. However, I got it, and listened to it yesterday, and I have to say that I was really impressed. It was a great story. A real caper! I enjoyed the whole thing and I’d say that it’s probably one of the best since Big Finish started this series of Torchwood audios.
Wow, there’s a new album coming from Steve Jansen
“Tender Extinction” comes out on the 8th of April on Bandcamp! I’m really pleased. This is awesome news! His last solo album, was years and years ago, so this is brilliant. I’m really looking forward to it.
Sounds from me: Etho

“Billings. LAPD. You know Thursday is Chapman’s 20th year, and we’re giving a little surprise party at the Captain’s. I think you should come. By the way, we need five bucks for the present.”
Having fun with my Olegtron
IFTTT retiring their Etsy channel
I’m a big fan of IFTTT. It’s a great service, and one that seems to be expanding all the time. However, sometimes they do take stuff away as well, and today I got an email stating just that. I understand that services like IFTTT have to change and sometimes those changes don’t make me so happy.
Today they’re taking the Etsy channel away, amongst many others. This is ok I guess, but I did like the Etsy channel and I do like Etsy too. Never mind.
I am Ashley Elsdon
