You may have heard from PalmSounds that MIDI thing is now actually a thing. In fact it’s now in test and there’s even a Facebook page and everything!

Good, but not as good as the first one
I did enjoy it but I can’t say that it was as good as the first in this trilogy.

I’m hoping that the third will make sense in terms of bringing them together to form a really coherent trilogy.
Listened to Torchwood Ghost Mission
And I think it probably has to be one of the best episodes of the audio series so far. It was really funny, well written and a great little story which kept me happy for an hour. I hope they do a few more like this, specifically with Andy as well, as he’s a great character and really does lighten the mood.

Tomorrow’s World on sampling and MIDI with Midge Ure
How awesome is that.

Now that’s a shame, The Aria Pebble Strap is running 2 months late
I was looking forward to this. It seemed like a great device and I’ve got quite a few ideas on how to use it, but they’re going to have to wait now for at least an extra couple of months it seems. These things happen I guess, and let’s face it, all kickstarter stuff tends to be late, especially hardware, so I shouldn’t be too surprised really.
Teenage Engineering OP-1 Crank
I’m slowly adding to my collection of Teenage Engineering stuff and my latest addition is the crank for the OP-1. As ever, the packaging is pretty cool too.
The Blockheads at Under The Bridge
Some pictures from a great gig at Under The Bridge in Fulham. It was a brilliant night and great sound. I’d definitely go see them again without a doubt.
