someone who's doing some things
It’s only right isn’t it. I’m a fan and I feel that I should dedicate post number 1999 to Space 1999. I’m still slowly making my way through season 2, and if that wasn’t enough I’m not sure that I’ve finished reading the comic editions on comixology either.
Perhaps I need to make a bit more effort and finish off reading and watching this stuff soon, especially after celebrating Space 1999 today.
I picked up these excellent kits from Technology And Will Save Us at Rough Trade East. They’re lovely and I’m really looking forward to getting going with them soon.
I’ve only just heard about this. It’s coming out in March apparently, so there’s even more to look forward to from Mr Foxx this year.
So after years of wanting one of these I’ve finally got one, and it wasn’t cheap, but it is lovely, and I’m looking forward to spending a bit more time with it and getting used to how it works and how to get it to make some awesome noises.
How sad was yesterday’s news? I’d been listening to some of the new Visage stuff on spotify only recently and thinking it was quite good really. So it was a real shock to hear he’d passed away so young. I think he still had a lot of creativity left. Still had songs to sing, and music to make, so it really is our loss.
I think I have to listen to a lot of Visage now.
I do like the idea of made from things that don’t normally make music. Hence I like barcodas. The idea of making little snippets of music from bar codes is very appealing. To me anyway. The interesting thing, at least, interesting to me anyway is that different types of bar codes seem to have very different properties. So for instance, using bar codes taken from books, these all sound the same, at least the first few notes do. Bar codes taken from cereal boxes are quite different.
So I had a little idea for a barcodas project that I think I’m going to try out soon.
This was a nice little gig and a great venue, if tiny!
This is an already excellent app. I seem to use it almost daily. Now in version 1.1 the developers have made it even better.
Here are a few of the things that have been added:
Also they’ve said that more is coming soon, including syncing workflows between devices.
Well, I’ve got my tickets for the world premiere of this. Really looking forward to it.
This is one of the few Doctor Who stage plays, and is the only one that I ever went to. It was back in 1989 and I’ve occasionally thought about it over the years, but when I realised that I’d inadvertently bought a copy of Big Finish’s audiobook version it all came back to me.
Listening to it for the first time brought back a lot of memories, but the most interesting thing was hearing about how the production came about and the problems that it faced. It was really interesting to find out all about how it came about and what eventually happened to the production.
Whilst it is most certainly not one of the best Doctor Who stories of all time, even though it is strangely named the ‘Ultimate’ adventure! Although I guess that’s more to do with it being produced in the 80’s more than anything else. It is part of Doctor Who history, and I guess I’m one of the few (ok, probably there would have been over 10,000 people who saw it, but against the scale of Doctor Who fans that’s small) who saw it.
Anyway, I got in touch with the two people who I went with and they both remembered it, and one even still had the theatre programme! So here it is …
