I love music. Making music, listening, talking about it and anything else too.
Benge: Twenty Systems
I just got the re-issued version of this today and I’m really looking forward to listening to it.
A new album coming from Blancmange!
And a tour too! How lovely. I’m looking forward to that. Ok, it’s a remake of their very first album, but that’s ok. It’ll be interesting to see what they’ve made of it after all this time.
New old reading
I’ve read this before, but I decided to read it again as it’s such an interesting set of essays on music. I might even pen a few notes on the content as I go through it.
Jon Hart – Defuse
I saw this chap play this track on Saturday, and it was amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Purley Festival, day 1
Purley Festival
More paper windmills
Whilst I was only there for a couple of hours today it’s lovely to see a local event like this and see so many people enjoying the park and some live music.
Japan – ‘A Foreign Place’ – The Biography
I only heard about this kickstarter today and I think it’s one I’m going to back. So I thought I’d post it here in case it’s of interest.
What a completely awesome present
This was a present from Miki which he gave me on the day we spent in London. What a completely awesome and amazing gift! This has some truly stunning stuff in it.
Getting Plastic Planet by the Modified Toy Orchestra
As a long time fan of The Modified Toy Orchestra I was delighted when their latest album came out and I ordered it a few weeks ago. It seemed to take a while to arrive, then, a couple of days ago, a package turned up.
Not only did it contain the album, a CD in something like a children’s book package, which is an amazing design by the way, but also it contained the following
An extra CD
This note of apology
I was amazed to say the least. I’d have been happy with a note of apology on it’s own, but this was completely unexpected, and, lovely too.
If that wasn’t enough, Plastic Planet is a joy to listen to as well. I’d recommend it.
The Vinyl dilemma …
I was lucky enough to get hold of one of the few copies of the last John Foxx 12″ single containing two remixes of Underpass. I have to say that these remixes are absolutely brilliant. I love them. However, it leaves me with a dilema. I love the 12″. I love the music, but, I can only play it on my turntable. I have no digital copy at all. I’d like to listen to these tracks on my iPhone and elsewhere, but I don’t want to take a digital copy really.
It’s a dilemma.
