someone who's doing some things
Today there was a meet up in London to celebrate the life of the bassist Mick Karn who sadly died last month.
I would have really liked to have gone along, but it was sadly impossible. I’ve been thinking about him and his music for days, but I can’t seem to listen to anything by him. I don’t know why, but every time I see one of his tracks come up I skip it.
I’m considering having a serious Mick Karn listening session soon. I think it might be something I really need to do.
I’ve finally got around to finishing this off and I do quite like it really. Micro Process is 5 little tracks made on a Palm OS PDA and recorded using a Boss Micro BR. I’ve made it a page all to itself so if you want to have a listen you can find it here.
I used to have a ZX81 and I wish I hadn’t got rid of it now. What an amazing little computer, and how much you could do with 1k of memory!
I’m glad to see that the ZX81 museum is a really well curated little site. I found quite a lot of stuff on there that I’ve had in the past.
These days I only have a ZX81 emulator on my Android phone. I must do some more bits and pieces with that soon.
I sent this picture off to Tapedeck.org weeks if not months ago. Since then I’ve heard nothing at all. Which is a shame as they don’t have one of these on their site.
I heard about this site from Evolver.fm. It is just the sort of thing I was looking for when I wrote this post.
The listening room seems like a really good start
As you may have heard Mick Karn passed away this afternoon. His music has been an inspiration to me for many years. His talent and creativity will live on after him and he will be remembered as an incredible musician.

Been playing with Lego Mindstorms today making little robots! Awesome! Absolutely love this stuff, it is so much fun.
I’m hoping to make some cool robots to play with mobile music devices soon.
I was in London today at the Royal Opera House and noticed that there was a Hope and Greenwood’s just around the corner.
Hope and Greenwood’s are probably the best old fashioned sweet shops ever. You can still by things by imperial measure and get bags of sweets made up. I’ve been to their shop near Forest Hill many times on trips to the Horniman Museum (I’ve mentioned the place many times), but I’ve never been to their central London shop.
It isn’t much bigger, but it is just as wondrous. The staff are wonderful and the range of confectionery is superb.
If you ever get a chance to visit one of their shops then you must, absolutely you must.
