someone who's doing some things
Things are going on all the time!, This category is about things I’ve been to or sometimes would have liked to have been to. Also, it’s about events I’m a part of or have had some hand in running.
This was a great talk from Mr Ware from Heaven 17. I really enjoyed it, he had some great insights into the development of synths since the 1970s. Of course it wasn’t for everyone, but I thought it was awesome, especially as synth 20 was an OP-1!
Shows what you can do with these little things.
I thought I’d post a couple of pictures from this year’s Beyond the Border. I was there on the Saturday and Sunday and it was lovely although I think it has changed a bit over the years.
I plan to post some of the highlights as well when I get some time, but these were a couple of nice shots just to start off with.
Little local festivals can be a load of fun. Just like this one was the other week. A lovely sunny weekend (mostly) and some nice music (mostly). What could be better?
Yeah, I didn’t believe that they were for real either. But they are, and they taste amazing! I got one at the Beyond the Border festival this weekend, which is a great place to be by the way.
Not sure about the spelling of Bhajee though.
This is where I was on the last Saturday of this show at the Science Museum. It was good. Smaller than I expected, but a reasonable amount of stuff to see. Of course there were the usual things like 3D printing and that, but good to see some soft circuit stuff, and more experimental things too. I like that the science museum try this stuff out.
This was the other record store day release I really wanted, but couldn’t get on the day. At the time I thought I’d done pretty well to get 2 out of three of the special releases I wanted, but I’d really wanted this too and ended up looking on eBay for it.
Well the one I got wasn’t a bad price at all, and was in perfect condition too.
One of the things I picked up from Record Store Day last weekend was this special release of John Foxx’s first album Metamatic on white vinyl. I’ve had this album for ages but I couldn’t resist getting this version.
Just some pictures from what was a very cold queue for Rough Trade East on Saturday morning. I think I queued up for just over 2 hours in the end, and I managed to get two of the three special releases I was after.
Musikmesse was awesome to go to this year. For so many reasons. I had a great time and saw so many cool new toys. I’m so glad I couldn’t buy anything!
