Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.

I don't think I've ever been so dissatisfied with a CD in my life. I didn't even know they'd put out a new album until I found it on the shop shelf. The joy of the fact that it was a new Foo's CD has given way to the crushing fact that it is ...

Whoops, couple of days late in my thanks, what with the dodgy internet connection at the moment. Er... Cheers guys!

Kind of found something I did yonks ago that perfectly illustrates the kind of sound I like.

Not exactly an epic, more filler material, but I think you get the idea. Also not the greatest extremes I've gone towards dirtying ...

Well, every computer and console apart from my PC was old when it was bought. It always pays to be a generation behind. While all my mates were showing off their brand new Megadrives with like three games, I had my C64 and Spectrum with a whole cupboard full.

I bought an X-box on a whim the other ...

Erk, that is rather poor.

I've still got my C64, Spectrum, Nes, Megadrive and a couple of Playstations I'd ripped apart for spares. All broken, opened up and poked about with, but all too valuable to me to be chucked. The very thought is anathema to me.

Ah, that's what I love about this place. You guys can discuss things intelligently, getting to the root of the topic without resorting to the whole "No, shut up you! My opinion is BEST!" type argument you'd find on other forums. If there's a disagreement, it's a polite one.

Ahem, back on topic ...

Yes, that's the more the word I was thinking of, minimal. In the analog sense, I meant more along the lines of a tape, rather than digital sound.

A few years ago, I saw a documentary about the making of a Green Day video, and the director had these very strong ideas about the look of the thing ...

Before I start out, I should point out that is not a rant or a pick at the scene in any way, it's more something I've noticed, something that got me thinking. This line of thought was bought on by Waz's comment on a recent, very small sounding Sanxion remix. I'm not disputing his opinion, it just ...

The Wildhearts - Fishing For Luckies

Tragedy is, it's been deleted. One of the best albums ever, and you can't buy it.

Damn, that's sad. Not much else I can say apart from that, and even then, it seems trite.

Yessir, Clerks 2 it is. Off you go sir.

Righto, look sharp!

Oooh, cake!

Oh god, it's Weird Science, isn't it?

I used to watch that movie on a bi-weekly basis when I was about 13, along with National Lampoons Vacation.

Jack and the Rippers - No Desire/I Feel Like A Tram.

They're swedish, I found them on a rare music blog, think they've only done this 7 inch job, the recording is fuzzy as hell. Ace pair of songs though.

Cake!

Happy birthday Jan!
