Heroes, season 2

Posted by on in TV

Well I think I’m finally past the point that I’d seen any of these episodes before. Although things keep cropping up and I wonder if I’d seen that bit of the series or not. I think I’d actually seen a lot more of the series than I ever thought I had.

But a lot of the story is making sense now, and even though it really is a massive story arc it’s very good. I’m enjoying it.

New Order at the Brixton Academy

I have to say that I was really looking forward to this gig, and it was worth the wait. The first few tracks were a little off on the mix front, but it did improve after that. They played all the greats as you’d expect, and they finished off with a couple of Joy Division tracks too.

So it was worth going for sure, and actually, the light show was pretty amazing too.

I was amazed to find the original Doctor Who on Netflix, so I had to take a look as I think it’s been a very very long time since I saw the very first Doctor Who. It’s amazing to see it again, and especially to hear the music again and think of Delia Derbyshire’s work in making that real.

Actually, when you look at it the story’s very advanced for its time. Also, the inside of the original TARDIS was a lot bigger than in some of the iterations of the Doctor. Interesting stuff to watch.

Another photo I’d completely forgotten, and I’m actually quite pleased with it. I think it’s a really good shot.

Changing the way I think about listening

Posted by on in Listening

Using Spotify over the last few weeks has made me start to re-evaluate how I listen to music, or more specifically how I discover music. I’m quite intrigued by the idea of sharing playlists and collaborative playlists, and the whole concept of subscribing to a playlist. I think that I probably need to spend some more time getting used to this stuff before I go publishing and sharing my own playlists all over the place.

But listening is changing, probably in a good way, and I feel like I need to catch up and understand it better.
