Audio Relief
Been on a new music hunt lately and come up with a few people I’d recommend you listen to:
The Rumble Strips,
The Pigeon Detectives,
Built to Spill,
Band of Horses.
Clarkson for PM
Don’t really need to say more. Why the hell not!
Sign the Petition now.
DHL Rock
It’s quite sad really, but I think it’s very cool…
I need to get a letter couriered to Thunder Bay in Canada asap. That’s around 4,500 miles give or take a hundred. Having looked at a few included FedEx, ParcelForce and UPS decided to go with DHL.
Called the drop centre in Reading and if the package was dropped off before 5PM today, it’ll be on a plane tonight, overnight to Thunder Bay sorted and delivered door to door tomorrow morning Canadian time by midday. Now that’s pretty impressive! The tracking site is also geek-tastically good, at time or writing this the last update showed it sitting in the sorting depot at Heathrow.
Nice.
Bryan Adams
Saw Bryan Adams and Wembley Arena last Thursday. Having turned up late thanks to the hell of Hanger Lane traffic the set was very good. It was suppose to be for an album launch, but, he hasn’t finished it so he said he toured anyway. Nice to hear all the old stuff as well and not too much newer bits. Pictures on Flickr.
Upcoming Gigs
Seems to be a bit of a gig year in 2007 and May is no exception. Tomorrow night am off to see Bryan Adams and Wembley Area and the on the 19th going to see Built To Spill at Reading Fez. Both should be good, photos will be Flickr’d post event.
ADSL
Finally after 4 weeks hassle between Pipex, Sky and BT my broadband is now finally back on and connected.
Not at all about migration between two ISP’s which plain and simply doesn’t work. If you’re thinking about it be warned, it can be kinda, fun.
Wii Blaster
OK so the Wii rocks, but, this looks like it’s going to get even better!
Here’s a story over on Gamespot about the Wii Blaster, how much fun!
Also found out that Nintendo UK are moving into the offices opposite where I work. Very cool.
