Off To The Game

It’s West Ham today. I can see it now, the wondrous pointless ineffective sauntering of Diaby, the “is he on the pitch?” ability of Denilson, the silky passing-the-ball-to-the-opposition skills of Eboue, the headless chicken defending of Gallas. I can hear the booing already. Or maybe we can actually win?

Review – Further by Geneva

Do you ever hear a song for the first time, and when it’s done just sit there in astonishment at the beauty people can create? No One Speaks by Geneva was one of those. Driving home from work one night listening to Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley (yea, verily, it was the mid-90′s, and that [...]

Quick Photo

Just sorting through some photos and found a nice one from Burnham Beeches last month.

Quick Post – M Ward, Arsenal, iPhone

A really quick post this morning. I’ve managed to listen to a copy of M. Ward’s new album, Hold Time. What’s to say? He’s a fantastic guitarist, a great songwriter, but after one listen it’s difficult to say anything other than it sounds like an M Ward album. Bet you’re glad you read that, eh? [...]

The Pitchfork 500 – Part 1

So, Pitchfork, one of the biggest music sites on the Interwebz, decides to release a list of their top 500 songs from “Punk to the Present” (eg about 2007). Cue pandemonium on the web, with accusations of snobbishness, racism, and all sorts. But you know what? It’s not a bad list. It’s got all sorts [...]

The Second Post

Well, here we are. First of all, a bit about this blog.  What’s it for?  Well, I fancied having an outlet where I can blather on about music, books, football, and little bits of rubbish from time to time, rather than blathering on to friends, family and colleagues.  Or rather, as well as. So I [...]

The First Post

Well hello there.  This is my first post and as I’m just testing how to use this, you probably won’t find anything good here for a little while.  Or ever, heh. Anyway, pop back soon.
