Snippets of thought
- I could get used to 4 day weeks. It still feels like Monday though. 4 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. 5 days ago
- I'm watching Arcade Fire's Reading set on iPlayer. It reminds me why I love their music. 5 days ago
- http://lexrecords.com/2010/04/unearthing/ sounds interesting. Part music, part audiobook. 6 days ago
- I think I really needed a day of doing not a lot. Although, my definition of not a lot might be quite odd. 6 days 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. 2 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
- I have had a lot of sun today, but also a lot of stress. I think I now need a lot of beer. 2010-06-22
- Google calendar just emailed me to remind me it's my birthday tomorrow. I should probably turn that notification off. 2010-06-21

Review : Lots of free music
I may get round to reviewing The Mars Volta, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and Placebo, but as you can read about all of these in a fair few other places I thought I’d concentrate on a couple of months worth … Continue reading
Review : Stages by Abscondo
I reviewed the first Abscondo album a while ago, and actually still listen to it a fair bit. So I was actually quite nervous about downloading the second one in case it didn’t live up to my expectations. Thankfully Stages … Continue reading

Review : Atlantis, Oh Our Saviour by The Rest
I downloaded this album because I liked the front cover. It reminded me of “Funeral” by The Arcade Fire, and I thought that as The Rest were also Canadian they might be operating in the same sort of area. Reviews … Continue reading

Briefly
Kouki deleted all their albums from Jamendo, which is slightly annoying as I’d only got about half way through downloading them. I must have listened to about 24 hours worth of new music this week, and as I’m off work … Continue reading

Review : 13 Segundos de Caida Libre by Icarus Crash
Icarus Crash are a melodic hard rock group from Malaga in Spain. They sing in Spanish, with a few English phrases thrown in on occasion (I think). As I’m not really a fan of the genre, I didn’t expect to … Continue reading

Review : Window Sills by The Wind Whistles
I was going to wait to review this until Sunday, but as I’ve listened to it a fair few times over the last 24 hours I thought it was worth sharing. Window Sills by The Wind Whistles – They think … Continue reading

Sounds from beyond the realm of reason
I wrote a blog post a couple of years ago (maybe longer) on how I sometimes really like to listen to songs sung in languages I don’t understand. I think I’d rather not know what the lyrics mean than to … Continue reading

A quick list of freely available music I like
http://teknostatik.co.uk/jamendo.php I’ll update this as and when I find new things. It’s a very quickly thrown together MySQL database with a PHP front end.
