The Master Returns!

Awesome! The latest Tom Baker audio story has arrived, and with it, the Master returns! How amazing is that? I’m looking forward to listening to this one, maybe at the weekend.

Love that Jam

Another lovely preserve from no.98 with a really unique flavour. Again, I got this from Cullenders, which is an excellent deli.

The Squid still works on the Lion

I tried the old Synchopoolp app on my OSX Lion Mac but I didn’t really have any hope that it would run. I was wrong. It worked just fine. It synced a bhajis file from my T3 and it rendered out all of the tracks as separate .wav files too. No problem. Amazing to find that this software still works after all this time.

That really is a great bit of software. What else would you expect though?

Listening to Shriekback

I hadn’t listened to this band in a long time and decided to play their last few albums on Spotify. I’d forgotten just how good their lyrics were. It was a great listen and brought back a load of memories too.

If you haven’t heard any shriekback then I’d suggest you give them a listen as they were a great band with a great sound.

Einstein on the beach

I’ve held off writing about this performance until I’d had some time to think about it. I had very high hopes of this production. I saw ‘The Cave’ some years ago and it was incredible, and I sort of had that in my mind when I went along to see ‘Einstein on the beach’. But they’re not the same in any way.

I can’t say that I really understood any of it at all. It was almost completely incomprehensible. I also thought that a lot of the music was very poor indeed. There were a few sections of the show that I did enjoy. The dance sequences were very good indeed, but on the whole, the show wasn’t worth it in my opinion. I didn’t really enjoy it, or understand it.

It’s a bit of a shame really.

Spotify trial is over

I’ve had my 1 month free of using Spotify premium, and I’ve decided to keep it, for now anyway. I think that how I use it will evolve over time. I’m not sure that I’ve quite got it fitted into my listening patterns, but I think that’ll change and make more sense soon enough.
