Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

Are you sure Hazel didn't register in both your names?

I wouldn't think the BBC would spam out invitations for something like this. We both registered (in our own names) though I didn't go for the competition aspect of it, so I won't get some researcher from Radio One seeing if I'm fun enough (and young ...

Strange time travel

As previously possibly mentioned, I am listening to old Mark Radcliffe radio shows, on the mp3. Just listened to the last ever graveyard shift show on Radio One, and then (in exactly the wrong order) the first ever graveyard shift show from 1993. And...

Glastonbury pictures

Thinking about Glastonbury, Mum asked at the weekend if we had any pictures of us there, bearing in mind we may never go again. And I thought LAWKS, no I don't! I found a few luckily, but they're rubbish, andn none that make it look like we're having...

Glastonbury tickets back on sale?

How does this work then? Got this from seetickets.com, buying from ticketmaster would help me out, I didn't think Glastonbury tickets would be publicly available like this:GLASTONBURY 2008The biggest and best festival in the world is upon us and tick...

Remembering XFM

Was surprised earlier to realise that the original XFM only lasted for about a year, before being shut down and messed up by Capital. Yes we've been listening to more Ricky Gervais, still haven't found any really early shows. I'll post up a list of w...

Ricky Gervais XFM radio show MP3s

Do you have any? Been listening to lots of Ricky Gervais recently, old radio shows from XFM, and they're great (if repetitive). Now we want more, and we want earlier. The oldest show we have is from November 10th 2001, which I think was an officially...

Second house-hunting trip around Canterbury

Saw five houses today in Canterbury, have a map with details of the things we saw. Clare's out tonight with Jenny, so it's a prime opportunity for me to do some fiddling about with maps and things, so sorry if it breaks. Not that you'll be on the com...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Marvellous

I hope it's a top one. Sultans of Ping eh? Not heard of them in a while, I am jealous! Saw The Fall at Ashton Court festival a couple of weeks ago.. they were nothing much to write home about though. Much shambling about stage, random turning up of g...

Scrap the licence fee

The BBC are a bit annoying at the moment aren't they? If they're not punking the the queen with crazy video pranks, they're ripping off the public with phoney competitions. Why not get rid of the licence fee, and replace it with a subscription for BB...

Boom shake the room!

Well I suspect you've all been frantically refreshing wondering when I'd report from this morning's earthquake! Amazingly it was three and a half hours ago now, the power was off until just recently so there wasn't a lot I could do, no internets, and...

Thursday morning roundup

Just caught the end of something on BBC Breakfast, advice on blogging and work, or why not to blog about work, something like that. A few sites / posts were held up as bad examples, I wasn't one of them, it was all fairly basic stuff:* Don't be posti...

Good weekend

Rain seemed to play quite a part... Friday, raced out of work not quite in time to go to the Andrew Davies talk, part of the literary festival, but in good time to get some chips, and eat them in the rain on my way to The Grand Hotel where the talk ...

John Peel in Folkestone

There's a new John Peel bootleg of a forty year old pirate radio show, I didn't realise the Folkestone connection before: As he signed off his final late-night Perfumed Garden show, pirate DJ John Peel was convinced it was the end of his brief, subve...

Really bad and sad news about Paul Hunter, he was only 27 and had just become a dad, should have known things were very serious when his ranking was frozen earlier this year, that's an unusual move, though we really thought and hoped he'd recover.Als...
