This arrived the other day. Beautiful packaging and it’s a signed copy. I need to really listen to it properly though and give it some dedicated time.

Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.
Deerful at the Shackleton Arms
Just some pictures from a week ago when I went to see Deerful at the Shackleton Arms.

I do love how twitter can get you answers so quickly. This is of course excellent news.
And new things coming from Mr Arthur then!
It’s good to hear that Neil Arthur is doing even more music. Hot on the heals of the latest Blancmange album ‘Commuter 23’ (I’m still listening to it and thinking about how I feel about it), he’s into a new musical exploit called ‘Near Future’. I just missed out on getting a signed CD of their first single, which was annoying. Never mind. I’ll have to wait for it to come out later in the month.
Whatever happened to Ian Craig Marsh?
I’ve been a fan of Heaven 17 for years and years, and I’ve really enjoyed their recent shows but it does make me think of a few things, one of which is, whatever happened to Ian Craig Marsh? He was a big part of Heaven 17 and of course The Human League before that, but now, according to Wikipedia, he’s a music teacher. No more information than that.
That’s fine, but a shame for fans on H17.
Bandcamp
Mad Dog McRea at the Half Moon
I’ve seen this band a number of times now and they’re always good fun live. A great sound and highly enjoyable. I’ve never listened to them recorded mind you, I’m not sure that I would actually. But live they’re awesome.
‘Just this beat’, some music from me
I made the beat with the Teennage Engineering PO-12, but then brought it into AUM and used AudioReverb, frekvens, and Reverb Delay Feedback Network to mangle it a bit.
It’s only short, but I hope you like it.
Blancmange, Commuter 23 CD
My copy came through the post. It’s a nicely produced object. I’m glad I went for it rather than just a download. Although, I would’ve like it if they’d put it on vinyl too.
