Snippets of thought
- I'm on holiday, but I plan on being productive. Starting with some Wordpress hacking. 3 hrs ago
- One more day and then I'm free for a week. 3 days ago
- I could get used to 4 day weeks. It still feels like Monday though. 6 days ago
- I keep looking at the sunshine and thinking I really should be at work because it can't possibly be a bank holiday. 1 week ago
- I'm watching Arcade Fire's Reading set on iPlayer. It reminds me why I love their music. 1 week ago
- http://lexrecords.com/2010/04/unearthing/ sounds interesting. Part music, part audiobook. 1 week ago
- I think I really needed a day of doing not a lot. Although, my definition of not a lot might be quite odd. 1 week ago
- http://www.capturedtracks.com/ - there's a lot of beauty here, and it makes me feel like I'm back in 1986 1 week ago
- I'm wearing a jumper in August. Where did the summer go? 1 week ago
- Today has been a better day. In fact, take away the rain and today would have been a _good_ day. 1 week ago
- Have I really only been back at work 3 days? It seems like 3 weeks. 2 weeks ago
- I'm on a train heading for London. This is a good thing, although I can't believe my holiday will be over in 2 days. 3 weeks ago
- Today I have largely spent some time hacking my test instance of Wordpress to do interesting things. Fear my interesting life. 3 weeks ago
- http://unsuck-it.com is mostly amusing, but also actually quite useful. 3 weeks ago
- We managed to fill our skip in just over an hour. It would be nice if someone came to take it away at some point though. 3 weeks ago
- It's Steph's birthday today, and Argos bought her a skinned rat. So we now have bloodstained floorboards in the kitchen. 2010-08-07
- I'm now on holiday. Theoretically. In that I'm not at work until 17th August. 2010-08-06
- And finally we have a kitchen. No floor yet, but everything else is done. 2010-08-04
- Today there will be hot food, cold beer, and no painting. All of these things make me happy. 2010-07-31
- It's finally the weekend. This week has really dragged. 2010-07-30
- The kitchen is starting to take shape, but I think we're still about a week away from full functionality. 2010-07-29
- Inbox zero failed today. I have a feeling it might fail tomorrow as well. 2010-07-27
- Now we _really_ have no kitchen. 2010-07-26
- I may need to investigate remedies for removing paint from cats. I hope this will not be required, but fear it might be. 2010-07-25
- I've had two hours extra sleep and I'm still shattered. This does not bode well. 2010-07-24
- I'm glad this week is over with, although I don't forsee a relaxing weekend either. 2010-07-23
- This week is broken, can I have a new one please? 2010-07-21
- More wallpaper removed, and more floor tiles smashed. We may even be ready to start phase 2 on Monday. 2010-07-20
- After a chaotic start, today was actually ok. I'm sure the sunshine helps a lot with this. 2010-07-19
- Tame Impala might just be my musical discovery of the year so far. They paint pictures in my mind. 2010-07-18
- My new headphones should arrive tomorrow. That's still a day without music though. 2010-07-18
- Time to attack the kitchen again soon. It's oddly cathartic, although I don't particularly need catharsis today. 2010-07-17
- Summer might be back next week. This makes me happy. I'm less happy that I've killed yet another pair of headphones though. 2010-07-16
- Tonight I revamped my blog. User interface seems important right now. 2010-07-14
- I'm fed up of seeing the same stupid frog in our house. Three times today and counting. 2010-07-12
- After a shaky start, today has not been too bad. Now if only the rain would go away... 2010-07-12
- Yesterday was a long day, but ended with curry and beer so it can't all be bad. 2010-07-10
- After a rather excellent weekend I'm somewhat disappointed to be back at work today 2010-07-05
- Banana bread beer - it shouldn't work, but it does. 2010-06-30
- It's days like today that I'm so glad there is a fan on my desk at home. Now I just need one for work. 2010-06-27

Introducing aaahh-records – home of free and charming music
I’ve just stumbled upon this net label, whilst trying to determine which year the Wind Whistles album was actually released in (the answer being 2007 and 2008 in different places). The label has so far only released three albums, but … Continue reading

Death by Panda – All the electronica you’ll ever need (and then some)
I’ve written about Death by Panda before (around the time I was listening to “House Made of Glass” on repeat). Since then there have been three further albums, all of which explore an area of music that can be disconcerting, … Continue reading

An interesting find
I was going to write something about an album by a new British folk singer that I downloaded yesterday, but then tonight I stumbled upon a newer mini album and thought I should probably lump them both together as two … Continue reading
