Been a bit of a chaotic week with minimal surfing (aaah) but I got sent this (click here), which made me laugh and play alot. Very very clever way of showing popularity of different names through the ages…. Having a bit of a shocking name like David, it always interests me to see what the world’s more exciting people get up to.

Flip Flop FlyinG, the blog from ther more famous FlipFlopFlyin (without a G) came up with a lovely link to food versions of iPod shuffles. Tasty, poor sound quality, but very clever.
Three Peaks fell race
Thought I’d better get populating this blog cause otherwise it’ll go stale and I’ll get out of the habit. I did the Three Peaks Fell Race on Sunday, my first attempt at the classic race (it’s been run 51 times now).
It’s 24 miles and 4,500 feet of ascent and descent…
I magaed 51st position (freaky?) out of over 400 starters, and was a bit chuffed with this. Results, with all the check point times are here: http://www.sportident.co.uk/results/ThreePeaks2005Detailed.html
I had a bad time of things from the top of Ingleborough (the last mountain) because of recurring cramp.
MP3 Boards of Canada blogs
Thanks to Simon, my mate who also should be getting on with his work, I’ve found some not-reasy-to-come-by Boards of Canada MP3s that surely can’t stay on line for ever…. Dozer mp3 blog has some old tracks that you simply can’t buy anywhere any more, so that’s good use of the internet, and honourable mention to Scissorkick, who posted a BoC remix of a Beck tune. It actually works really well.
Going away for the weekend
Well I thought I’d better make a start…. been looking at a few blogs and thought it’s not all take take take you know….. I’m (we’re) off to Oxford this weekend to see Dips (- a friend – who is multi-faceted, but) who was involved in the Cheeky Guides. Great books. I got my photo in the second edition, wearing a fez.

CD: Metamusic 2004
With ten more tunes as slack as an old man’s pants, Minnellium have peeled back the layers, rolled back the years, and found their feet in the sounds of yesteryear. Some analogue synths, some more of the classic organ and electric piano, and even a few horns. But don’t worry – there’s still enough abrasive beats to sand the floorboards of a larger than average victorian semi.
Best enjoyed with some chilled meal and a nice plate of wine.
It’s still my favourite album I’ve done and think that all the tracks ork well together – less electric and more eclectic Continue reading “CD: Metamusic 2004”
