First things first. I realise that I have started to get carried away. Having created a playlist with one track per year of my life about 5 years ago (I think) I subsequently decided to write a little post about each track but I have ended up writing about everything else in the year and […]

2021 – Cosmosis
February 7th, 2022 · Comments Off on 2021 – Cosmosis · Music
Well. 2021 was another year of not going out much wasn’t it? Another year of (mostly) working from home, and then staying at home afterwards. There was fresh air of course, as I was getting out for regular walks and shattering the 10,000 step target on good days – though a lot less for a […]

King Bastard
January 15th, 2022 · Comments Off on King Bastard · Music
They say that you can’t or shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but what about records? If the front cover has a picture of a skull in a space helmet, a band name of King Bastard above an album name of It came from the void and the back shows a track listing that […]
Irony narrowly averted
March 3rd, 2021 · Comments Off on Irony narrowly averted · Life
I went for a walk today, which is quite a big deal for me because I haven’t been able to really appreciate a long walk for ages until the last few days. Its all to do with Raynaud’s phenomenon, which makes my fingers go white when its cold. Oh, and paradoxically they go numb and […]

2020 – Automation
January 2nd, 2021 · Comments Off on 2020 – Automation · Music
It is that time of the year again. The time when I add another track to my Spotify playlist, the one that has one song for every year I have been around. I have now added a 59th track to it, which makes me fell a bit old. While this might have been a bit […]

Passing the time in lockdown
April 8th, 2020 · Comments Off on Passing the time in lockdown · Life, Music
Some people are spending this period of lockdown being very creative, learning a new skill, taking up a new hobby, or catching up on books and TV they never quite had the time for previously. Others are bored stiff and looking for something to do. But some of us are fortunate (?) enough that they […]

2019 Wrapped. A few surprises
December 7th, 2019 · Comments Off on 2019 Wrapped. A few surprises · Music
Spotify have this ‘wrapped’ feature where they tell you what your most listened to songs and artists are for the year. A bit premature when there is nearly a twelfth of the year left, but it is what it is. My bedtime habits do rather influence the results though. I have 30 or so playlists […]

1987 – Pump Up the Volume
February 22nd, 2019 · Comments Off on 1987 – Pump Up the Volume · Music
Another year and still the music was a bit naff, but with some signs of life and items of interest to point out while waiting eagerly for the 90’s to arrive.

All Killer – Original Pirate Material (2002)
February 17th, 2019 · Comments Off on All Killer – Original Pirate Material (2002) · Music
Well this is a bit recent for me. When it came out I was nearly 40 and so I should be too old for it, but I picked it up at the market in Lower Marsh one lunchtime and when I put it on the stereo that evening I could not do anything until it […]
1981 – Spellbound
February 17th, 2019 · Comments Off on 1981 – Spellbound · Music
Although I enjoyed the 80’s at the time, I don’t enjoy looking back on them as much as the 70’s. Maybe I should make more of an effort. As far as music was concerned, there was a lot of good stuff, even if a lot of it was quite superficial and 1981 was no exception. […]
