I know it’s a bit strange, but I actually had a lot of fun doing this, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Really looking forward to Martin Gore’s new album
It’s a while to wait though. It isn’t coming out until April the 27th. I got the single though, and I really like it. It’s a move on from his previous solo work, and it feels very considered and thoughtful. I hope that the rest of the album has the same feel to it. If it does it’ll be amazing. I’m really looking forward to it anyway. I just wish it was coming sooner.
And the PO-14 too
The also lovely PO-14 …
Teenage Engineering PO-12
PO-12 Front package
PO-12 Back of Package

Inside of packaging
It’s a lovely little device, with a great box which has been very nicely designed. My only complaint is that you have to rip it open to get to the device.
Next up from the 4th Doctor … Death Match
Well I enjoyed Requiem for the Rocketmen so much I just can’t wait for the next in the series, which looks like it has just as good a cast. Requiem was so good that I hope the follow up does it justice.
Semi Detached Booklet
A nice touch on the CD package actually, and it contains all the lyrics, which is good if you want to sing along and get it right too.
Blancmange’s Semi Detached: CD
Back cover
Double CD

Nicely put together album. But of course I’m slightly biased as I’ve been waiting for ages for this to get here. I think I actually ordered it in early December.
Blancmange Semi-Detached comes out today
And I’m really looking forward to listening to it. It’s going to be awesome. I’ve been a fan of Blancmange for years now and it’s been great to see them come back, make new music, play live and still maintain their identity. I really enjoyed the single from the album, so I’m hoping the rest is just as good.
I’m sure it will be.
What to do with my twine?
I’ve had this little IoT device for ages now. It’s fun, it’s ok, but I’ve always struggled to find a real use for it. Something that I could do with it that would be even a tiny little bit useful. The latest use I had for it was on my Romo. I put the twine on the back of the Romo and it tweeted on any movement in the Romo.
That was ok. Nothing amazing, but ok. More than anything it was fun. But what I’d really like is a way to use the Twine so it serves an actual useful purpose. The biggest problem with achieving this seems to be the fact that the twine is wifi only so I can’t take it outside, can’t use it mobile. That’s really a problem for me.
But perhaps the bigger problem is what to actually use it for? That’s something I’ve never got to the bottom of.
Look what arrived …
Three little Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators … I’m looking forward to hearing their sound and trying them out.
