Happy Reading

Kenny Loggins...reading!Apologies for the lack of content, said the uncommitted blogger, always short of time, inspiration, motivation etc. Work is busy, so less time and energy to write. Well, that’s my excuse. To keep things ticking along, here are some other people’s words that I’ve been reading lately. They are far more illuminating and profound than anything I could produce, so this exercise is probably best for all of us. It also helps generate some kind of myth that I’m well-read and stuff.

Graffito: "I quietly observe, standing in my place"

Yes, this is one of those lame posts where I say I’ve been terribly busy, hence the distinct lack of longer lame posts this week. So, anyway, I’ve been terribly busy, hence the lack of posts this week. Apologies and all that.

Tommy Dorsey, in the mixI’ve been toying with various online mix-y type offerings, and thought I’d share one I’ve uploaded to 8tracks, a site that offers a particularly user-friendly experience.

What do you use for your online (or offline) mixing/mixtape/podcasting needs? Do you have any mixes/mixtapes/podcasts to share?

Happy Birthday, Mister Zimmerman

Bob Dylan and Betsy Siggins, having a chat, I guessBob Dylan is 70 today. That seems a pretty weird statement. 70. Phew. In the lead-up to this momentous occasion, I’ve been dabbling in some low-level Dylanology, watching No Direction Home for the umpteenth time and listening to the Sound Opinions Dylan specials. I thought I’d share the following thoughts/opinions/theories in no particular order or with no real organised thread… Read the rest of this entry »

Comedy Vehicle

An otter, looking inquisitive and stuffMost of the television I watch has some sort of soporific purpose, or at the very least is kind of there for passive enjoyment, to help me unwind, to offer mild escapism etc etc. And this is not necessarily a slight on the majority of what I watch. We’re not huge TV-watchers in my household, and generally turn to it towards the end of the evening once work/chores/general cultural stimulation are out of the way/no longer an enjoyable or viable prospect. However, one series is proving a little more thought-provoking – Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle. Read the rest of this entry »
