A Word In Favour Of Physical Music

As a method of procrastination, I’ve been sorting out my music shelves. Again. It’s a lot more work that really necessary- ergo, perfect for slacking. However, it got me thinking just how much better music is as a physical form- be it vinyl records or CDs.

Concerning David Bowie, And Slacking.

It’s a Sunday afternoon. There’s a record fair on at the New Continental right now, but I’m not going- mainly because the weather is pretty horrible today, and I don’t really want to brave it just to find that I’m outpriced at every possible moment.

Cinemagique Trois- Cinemagique With A Vengeance

It’s been a while since I decided to talk about films, so I’m going to now…if that’s OK with you? I haven’t been to the cinema in a few weeks, but there is a few films I’d like to go see soonish- at least while they’re still on.

The Briefest Of Updates. In Ramble Form.

Hi again. I’m caught in a bit of a slump week- my dissertation’s been handed in (although I’ve got a little more work to do), and the gigs I was looking forward to have happened- although they were amazing.

Now Available On The Book Of Faces

A quick advert- I (meaning this blog), now has it’s own Facebook page. It’s here.

Review- Luke Haines at The New Continental, Preston, Saturday 21st April

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to see one of my musical heroes play an incredibly intimate show in the confines of arguably one of the best establishments in Preston.

Review- Graham Coxon at Sound Control, Manchester, Thursday 19th April

Hello again. I’ve decided to make myself useful and write something constructive. Therefore, you’re getting a live review. Enjoy.

Some Stream-of-consciousness About Board Games

I’m writing this in the UCLan library, as a way of not going insane because of the mind-numbing nature of my dissertation. It’s comparing the types of listed buildings between an urban area (Liverpool) and a semi-rural (the rest of Lancashire). In short, it’s rather dull. So I’m going to brighten my day somewhat a talk nonsense for a little while.

The Doodler’s Revenge

I’ve done it again- I had no intention of posting today, but I’ve just ended up spending the best part of 40 minutes swirling ink around a piece of paper. And like a 4-year-old looking for praise, I’m posting on the internet’s version of the fridge.

The (D)Evolution Of Association Football, part VIIb

Hello again. I’ve had time to re-group and think of another blog post. Hopefully one which will be fairly fun to research and doodle, if possible. It is Friday, after all!
