Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm a music lover. In fact I love a wide variety of music, and can sit and enjoy most genres, although I freely admit that one of my favourites is Country music. Not any old Country Music mind you, I particularly favour the sort of songs sung by many of the great Country favourites like Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Slim Whitman, Johnny Cash, Hank...

As we all know what you don't listen to can sometimes reflect as much about your taste as what you do listen to. So, in no way being exhaustive and not necessarily a criticism ( but nearly always ), and avoiding the too obvious targets i.e. The Lute Spanker and Dawkins's Incubus, here's a few examples of who is not on my Ipod: Oasis/Arctic Monkeys/ELO/Puff Daddy/Bix Beiderbeck/Blur/Slim Whitman/Supertramp/Guns...

My dad has a lot of vinyl tucked away in the attic so I recently decided to buy him a USB turntable that'd allow him to convert all his favourites to digital before they degrade away to nothing. But as he's not the most IT savvy of guys, I said I'd do it for him and put them all on discs so he could play them around the house and out and about in the car. However, I hadn't factored in the size of the...

Death is all around us, like a shawl, it keeps us warm. We tread over the dead bodies of animals every day. Whatever is luxurious is made out of the bodies of the dead. The dead make space for the living. Death is the cosmic recycling project of our lives. So it seems appropriate that two important sets of blogs died this week, but blogs rarely die. They are usually killed, and that ritual of killing...

An entertaining news item from the Wall Street Journal: TUSCARORA, Nev. — The residents of this tiny town, anticipating an imminent attack, will be ready with a perimeter defense. They’ll position their best weapons at regular intervals, faced out toward the desert to repel the assault. Then they’ll turn up the volume. Rock music blaring from boomboxes [...]
