Technorati Tags - music list & new music

in the new house i sometimes open the back door and listen to the rain hit the leanto/conservatory roof.

I like the sound of the rain.
somehow the world is right and everyone is equal when it rains.

if it is raining where you are... Listen

technorati tags - rain, small things i do & listening

Nuff said then.

Technorati Tags - cars & Purchasing Decisions

my old wireless modem, network router broke.

it died
it was quick and painless but it was very dead.


I had to get a new one
(it is quite shiney!)

technorati tags - Purchase-d, connectivity

we have a new camera

the olympus u1010 camera.
it does take nice photo's.
more later

technorati tags - photography & Purchase-d

quote from possibly the funniest radio comedy currently being broadcast.

(Son to father)
"You are such a dinosaur!"
"That's right. I am both Colossal and popular with people of all ages.

technorati tags - bbc radio 4 & fags mags and bags

with a Yo-ho-ho
and a Yo-ho-ho
Jolly roger and a cannon gun
Terrors of the ocean everyone...

technorati tags - pirates

so music wise it sounds quite cool

Friday - Micheal Franti & Spearhead, Emmanuel Jal.
Saturday - José González, Seth Lakeman
Sunday - 1Giant Leap, Roll Jordan Roll - with Abram Wilson & The Delta Blues Project,
feat. Kingdom Choir, Matthew Herbert Big Band
Monday - Fightstar.
with indoor gigs from the excellent Iain Archer and Martyn Joseph. And a new venue, Ethel's Tent, which seems to have booked a wide range of world music, it looks fun.

The speakers look good with in particular,
- Brian MacLaren
- Robert Beckford
- David Dark

Other highlights for me will be the Stewart Henderson, Paul Cookson and Ian MacMillan family poetry triple header.
Ian Macmillan.
yes him off the radio.

it all seems quite good.

the only thing I am unsure about is fightstar really. charlie from busted's band. the greenbelt website reports that the band split from their last record label after the label asked them to make their last album "more pop". I am not sure asking for a bands new album to be more popular is really that offensive.

anyway perhaps i am missing the point!
