Escape From The Studio

Not been a good day, stood on my headphones leaving them as a gluey-tapey mess that will get me many looks from fellow commuters tomorrow, although I've just realised I'm a commuter which makes me feel grown up and sexy... Anyway I have been cheered up however by viewing Escape From The Studio, a Music TV show made by the wonderful Anna and glorious Jim (Digital Milk), starring The Mekkits, which I helped sound recording wise. Especially look out for the last song in part 3. Ohh Kaká has just been sent off for essentially just having a physical self... A feeling of only alrightishness in the world restored.

4oD exclusive?

Had the unsusual experiance of watching the IT Crowd on 4oD before it comes out next friday. It can be seen here. A very good episode, but you'd expect anything by Graham Linehan to be good, although there are a few plot points that could make people watching think they're out of the loop somehow, like they've missed a few episodes or something similar. If you watch the episode I'm sure you'll get what I mean. I wonder if this preview showing of TV shows will become the norm, or follow the failed experiment of showing a show earlier on BBC3 (Eastenders) or E4(Desperate Housewives). Only time will tell. Back to the IT Crowd, the news that it will return after the current series for a 5th series must be applauded, I just hope it doesn't run out of steam.

A new bloginning!

As you may have become aware, by the use of one of the most bitchin' of 5 senses: sight, I have once again start tripping the blog fantastique. God I'm pretentious. Like most blogs that don't have a specific reason for living, unlike say a sports blog ("Go team Association Football!"), or a games blog ("ZOMG that final boss was whack"), this will be a "general" blog. Which means it will probably have no coordination, and be sporadic in delivery, but being that it's my blog that's probably apt.

I was trying to think yesterday about what a suitable topic for this first post would be, I had a lot of ideas, the england game, some new music I like, some films I want to see etc. but they all seemed abit uninteresting to other people. Although I dare say 90% of any posts will be on similar subjects. So I'm just going to start, how 50% of blogs do start, by welcoming you to my blog!

Here are somethings I'm liking at the moment:

Pretentious Music:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Queen Of The Night: Aria (Magic Flute) (Spotify)

Thing I made:

Thing that's exciting me the most:
