Skuds.org has moved to a new server. Apparently. It doesn’t look any different for the average punter, but it is supposed to be a much better computer in a much better datacentre with a much more reliable power supply and all that. The only visible signs are that there is a newer version of php […]

I Know What I Know
November 10th, 2008 · 4 Comments · Music
Having an interesting dialogue with the sister in the comments here which has got me thinking about gaps in (musical) knowledge. Really, there is so much music that it is difficult and probably impossible to keep up with it all. I guess it is easier if you are really into a specific genre or style […]

In an ideal world “brawl” and “monks” are two words you would not find in the same headline. Unless its something to do with a new Jet Li film, obviously.

I love a good cover version, and if the cover is in a style wildly at odds to the original then all the better – hence the presence of the Balanscu Quartet doing Kraftwerk and Hayseed Dixie’s bluegrass versions of heavy metal in the Skudder CD collection. None of them prepared me for this cover […]

Well who would have thought it? Apparently ‘Dave’ Cameron’s plan to make his frontbenchers give up all their extra jobs is not proving to be popular with his frontbenchers.

Tonight Chrystal took me to see Paul Weller start his tour at K2 leisure centre in Crawley. Her treat. She did very well a few months ago and won a pair of tickets from Radio Mercury. I don’t think she enjoyed it too much, but it was certainly an experience for her and I am […]

What a good week for Barack Obama: first he wins an election or something, apparently, which must have cheered him up a bit, but now he has the real prize – an invitation to visit Upton Park to watch West Ham. Some people have all the luck don’t they?

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video I did enjoy seeing Dizzee Rascal being interviewed by Paxman this evening. Dizzee was a lot less eloquent than I would have expected, and Paxman looked bemused by him, and then I got a fit of the giggles when he addressed the rapper […]
