Yesterday I was listening to In Their Darkened Shrines by Nile and trying to work out a few things, like why I have it in my collection and why I haven’t listened to it in the 6 years since I bought it. The second question is quite easy – I don’t like it very much.

The Only Way Is Up
September 28th, 2008 · Comments Off on The Only Way Is Up · Life
I was listening to the radio just now and the DJ was talking about his football team which, unfortunately for him, was Spurs. Trying to keep a positive attitude he said that being at the bottom of the league means that now the only way is up. Not strictly true though is it? I think […]
I knew it had ‘World’ in it somewhere
June 24th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Music
Quite a while ago I heard a track on the radio that immediately rang a bell with me: “Ah. The theme music from World in Action” I thought. I decided I would procure the track so I immediately looked up World in Action on Wikipedia. Sure enough, there was a section on the title sequence […]
Rock on

Eagle-eyed regular readers will notice a few little changes here in the last day or so. Some of these are because of the WordPress upgrade and me not getting certain plugins or widgets working with the new version yet, some are the result of tweaking, but the absence of the ‘Save Planet Rock’ logo is […]

Life on Planet Rock
May 16th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Music
The status of the radio station Planet Rock is that it is still up for sale, with the deadline extended until the end of this month: basically nothing has changed for over a month. Its proving harder to sell than a two-bedroomed house in Letchworth.

Global Radio
April 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Music
An article in today’s Guardian about Global Radio’s takeover of Gcap Media gave me pause for thought. I had not really thought about it all in terms of how the independent radio stations can compete with the BBC.

According to Planet Rock, Yes are doing a world tour this year. Its the classic line-up except for Rick Wakeman, who is being replaced by his son for the tour.
For those about to rock…

I don’t have a DAB radio, although I played with one for a bit once. I can’t comment on the sound quality that a lot of listeners have criticised because I am a bit cloth-eared, but I liked the displays of information that were available.

Bloody Virgin
November 19th, 2007 · Comments Off on Bloody Virgin · Life, Technology
First of all there is the letter. My sister had a very unsatisfactory phone conversation with Virgin Media’s customer services when she was trying to get Dad’s telephone and cable TV cancelled after he died. In a fit of pique she wrote a 5-page explaining exactly what the circumstances were, why the customer couldn’t give […]

Thou Shalt Always Kill

I heard this track on the radio the other day, and it made me laugh. The DJ said it was available for download, so I had a bit of a search for it and it turns out that its only available on iTunes – so no use to me- but then I looked on YouTube […]
