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.
Actually the old PalmSounds mobile music app directory is quite handy for old Palm OS apps
That and the Palmorama library which has a lot of good stuff in it too. Of course a lot of those apps have gone and a lot of links lead to non-existent web sites, but then it was made in 2007, so what can you expect?
Seeing ELO at the O2
Generally speaking I’m not a big fan of massive venues, but you’re not going to get to see a band like ELO at a small venue, so this was really the only option. Having said that it was a great gig with some great songs, and of course, the light show was pretty spectacular.
Craft fair at Wisley
It was such a lovely day for this craft fair at Wisley, but there was almost too much choice there. Lots of interesting stuff, some not so interesting too. But a good day out nevertheless.
Happy Star Wars Day!
I know it’s only a silly thing really, but it’s fun. So, ‘May the Fourth be with you!’ All day long! Enjoy.
Some pictures from SoundLab …
Just some photos from the SoundLab event at the end of April, which was amazing!
The Clangers and Bagpus exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood
I’ve never been to the V&A’s Museum of Childhood before, but decided to drop in and take a look as I was passing the other day. They had an exhibition of the Clangers and also Bagpus, which was brilliant. I love the Clangers and always have done.
It was only a little exhibition, but it was lovely to see and I’m sure to go back to this museum soon.
Brian Eno, The Ship
I got the this the other day. It’s a beautiful object. A gatefold double LP with clear vinyl and four art prints too. It’s lovely, really lovely.
It’s the first of May
And today I’ve been thinking about a song, “Tam Lyn Retold” by the imagined village. Which was a great song and a great album too. “Tam Lyn Retold” was performed by Benjamin Zephaniah, and it was amazing. Keep thinking of the song today.
