About Me

"Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not."I'm a graduate of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, with too many interests to shake a stick at. Fave things to do at the moment include going to music festivals, travelling to new places, and stretching myself to do new things. If you've got a sense of adventure, and a sense of humour, join me, on a journey into time and space...

My Blog

This is the Final Straw in the Roof of my Mouth (but what does it mean?)

I looked at my hit-count for the blog, and saw that I've received 705 hits; this begs many questions, not least, who is reading my semi-literate scribblings? Well, if you are, and you have to be if yo...

Holidays, and the Best Song in the World... Probably

Hiya, Sorry I've been off blogging for so long. There were things I had to know were OK, stuff to sort out, or in the words of my workplace, "issues to resolve".But they're hopefully all sorted now, a...

"Contact" by Thirteen Senses

Thirteen Senses have made an Album of the Year; it's not the gossamer brush of quality that their debut was, but it's a big-sounding, atmospheric rock album. Definitely in the Doves league. In a sense...

Where it's at

I was out with a few people on Saturday, including a close friend from work, who went back to uni to do a Masters. We had a great time, even as I found we were propping up the bar with the die-hards. ...

Inspiration from a Strange Place

I've found happiness and inspiration in a new, astonishingly camp, place. I'm listening to the showtunes programme on Radio 2 as I write. It's usually presented by Elaine Paige, who is awful and pompo...

Put it Behind You

OK now, back to basics, as Robbie Williams might say in a less pensive moment. For those who don't know, I had a car accident two weeks ago. I'm fine, but the whole thing scared me. That, along with a...

One Hobby to Another

Hey everyone, Another long break from Myspace for me, and it's probably made you all turn to people who update their blogs once in every so often. Sorry about that, but there wasn't much new stuff to ...

Lost Dog - MySpace as Public Service

Bulletin came in from Lily Allen (I believe she works in the music industry!) today. What is MySpace if not a global notice board, thought I, so I thought I'd reprint the message in case anyone in my ...

Happy Christmas All / Happy Birthday Ben McGarvey / Sandi Thom: What if She's Right?

First of all, Happy Christmas everyone. Enjoy your day, and eat as much turkey, or vegitarian alternative, as you can feasibly take. Happy Birthday to Ben McGarvey - I think my workmate said it was on...

Lloyd Cole, the OC, and Beating Miserablism

It's funny, really. It took me a whole heap of you-know-what, and a hungry-size serving of moments of clarity to make me realise that there's no point being a miserable bastard. This is exactly w...
