Simon said “Do you fancy coming to the Deafheaven gig on March 13th?”. Rather than bothering to look up Deafheaven videos or even the Wikipedia page to find out what sort of band they are, I’ve signed up enthusiastically on the spot. It transpires that Black Metal isn’t really my thing. How to describe this…
In break with last year’s effort, I thought maybe February would be a good time to go through the process of my annual Film, Book and TV roundup. Initially aiming to get this written up in January, I found myself thinking “But, who cares?”. And then remembering the reason I started all this blogging malarkey…
2015 has been interesting for me – it felt like I didn’t have much at all in the way of spare time or spare money with which to do stuff. That’s not to say that we didn’t have any fun, but the time really rocketed past & seemed to be just, well, full. About this…

I left my phone on the bus yesterday. Generally I’ve done pretty well at not losing phones or other tech gadgets compared to many of my contemporaries, but even as a once off* I still felt pretty bloody silly about it. Not LEAST because as someone who supposedly “knows what they’re doing where tech is…
For some reason whisky folks pop up from time to time in photos engaged in practices relating to Falconry (& associated disciplines). It seemed silly not to gather them in an album.
Unraveling Bolero: It’s not exactly recent, but this remains one of the most fascinating things I’ve listened to in ages.
I’ve gone on at length before about how I don’t like the British electoral system, and last night’s General Election is a shining example of why. Before going further I’d like to make it clear that this viewpoint is totally removed from the outcome of who won. In truth, I don’t recall ever voting for…
Tried a new “career explorer” site. Think it needs work. Not sure where to start with this information. via tumblr http://ift.tt/1ztPIx8
