Full to the brim

July 27th, 2005 · Comments Off on Full to the brim · Music, Technology

Oh dear. My iRiver is finally full – there is only 3Mb of space left on the disk. If I want to get some more of my vinyl on there, or buy anything new, I will have to start deleting stuff, because my budget doesn’t stretch to getting a 40Gb model just yet. I already […]

Live 8 – the music

July 3rd, 2005 · Comments Off on Live 8 – the music · Music

I’ll happily admit that my main interest was in Pink Floyd. We were towards the back of the crowd where there was more space, and for the earlier part of the show I spent some time just stretched out listening rather than watching. In some cases tolerating rather than enjoying. I know it was all […]

Live 8 line-up

June 21st, 2005 · Comments Off on Live 8 line-up · Music

Every time I look at the list of who is playing at Live 8 in Hyde Park there seems to be another name added. As far as I am concerned this is not a good thing – every extra act could mean a couple of minutes off Pink Floyd’s allotted time! I spotted a new […]

Pink Floyd to reform at Live 8

June 12th, 2005 · Comments Off on Pink Floyd to reform at Live 8 · Music

If its on the BBC web site it must be true. I was beginning to think that Pink Floyd would never play again, let alone play with Roger Waters. Truly Bob Geldof has kissed the Blarney Stone to get that lot to play together. Its a shame that its on a packed bill and they […]

New Year

January 8th, 2005 · Comments Off on New Year · Technology, Work

OK, so its the 8th already and therefore hardly a new year still, but its the first time I could be bothered to blog anything since Christmas. Over the entire holidays I hardly went anywhere and hardly did anything, but still the time went by far too quickly and all too soon I was back […]

Vintage Year?

October 6th, 2004 · Comments Off on Vintage Year? · Music

Looking at the 30th anniversary editions of Dark Side of the Moon and Tubular Bells, it struck me what a good year 1973 must have been to have two of the all-time great albums released in it. And not just them but a few others which are certified classics. Is there a single year with […]
