Whilst I wouldn’t use it all the time, it’s kind of cool. I do like it. Fun, but also it does have a battery indicator and bluetooth icon as well, so it’s pretty useful too.
Nice face for your Pebble

Listening to the new Blancmange Album, ‘Commuter 23’
It came out yesterday and I listened to the whole thing whilst I was out and about. I think that this is an album that is going to need a lot more listening. A lot more consideration. It isn’t just a bunch of electronic pop songs. There’s some deep stuff in there that requires careful and diligent listening, not just consuming.
It’s difficult to find time to do that kind of listening, but, as I’ve been a fan of Blancmanage for a very long time now, it’ll be worth it I’m sure. So when I’ve done that. I’ll let you know what I really think.
Torchwood, The Victorian Age
I have to say that I wasn’t looking forward to this story. It just didn’t appeal to me at all. However, I got it, and listened to it yesterday, and I have to say that I was really impressed. It was a great story. A real caper! I enjoyed the whole thing and I’d say that it’s probably one of the best since Big Finish started this series of Torchwood audios.
Wow, there’s a new album coming from Steve Jansen
“Tender Extinction” comes out on the 8th of April on Bandcamp! I’m really pleased. This is awesome news! His last solo album, was years and years ago, so this is brilliant. I’m really looking forward to it.
Sounds from me: Etho
Rockford Files Answer phone messages: Pilot
“Billings. LAPD. You know Thursday is Chapman’s 20th year, and we’re giving a little surprise party at the Captain’s. I think you should come. By the way, we need five bucks for the present.”
Having fun with my Olegtron
IFTTT retiring their Etsy channel
I’m a big fan of IFTTT. It’s a great service, and one that seems to be expanding all the time. However, sometimes they do take stuff away as well, and today I got an email stating just that. I understand that services like IFTTT have to change and sometimes those changes don’t make me so happy.
Today they’re taking the Etsy channel away, amongst many others. This is ok I guess, but I did like the Etsy channel and I do like Etsy too. Never mind.
So I finished season one of the Rockford Files
I finished watching all 6 DVDs of season 1. What a great show the Rockford files was. Loads of fun. Never too serious, just enjoyable. It mostly followed a pattern, but not too much of a pattern to get dull. I dare say that season 2 will be more of the same, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
So season 2, here we go.
Record Store Day list published
And it’s a very interesting list too. There’s a handful on there that I’m very interested in. Some really good stuff. It’ll be interesting to see how much of it I’m able to get my hands on.
If you’re interested in the list, you can find it right here.
