I bought a banjo and now my fingers hurt!

You need to be more careful with the hammer.

Its not all that accurate for picking either- the claw end was better than the hammering end though.

A few months ago, I saw Richard Ayoade coming out of Canterbury East station wearing a rather eye-catching tomato-coloured suit. I put it down to the eccentricity of celebrity.

Last night, Richard Ayoade was on telly in a new programme called "Gadget Man"... in which he goes around testing gadgets while wearing a tomato-coloured suit.

A mate and his g/f were listening to The Stone Roses when she pipes up "Wow, they obviously modelled themselves on Oasis!" Laughter ensued.

Киевская инди-рок группа «Brunettes Shoot Blondes» сняла оригинальный клип на песню «Knock Knock», действие которого разворачивается на 14 яблочных гаджетах - телефонах, планшетах и ноутбуках. Продуманность очаровывает с первых кадров.

I love how they've translated Apple and turned it into an adjective. 14 яблочных гаджетах Especially in context with the more obviously translatable 'indie rock' being not translated by simply transliterated.

The montage is cool too.

Total time played: 61 days, 7 hours, 13 minutes, 45 seconds

And that's just one of my characters, another has 33 days on it...

Holy crap, World of Warcraft can be addictive. In my defense, this is over the last six years or so.

Thanks to the wonders of SCIENCE I can now reveal that DJ Random played me precisely 2296 different tracks during my sojourn in USAnia

Oh for the love of feck, it appears the sound person on HIGNIFY has turned up on QI and decided to spread the 'applause a billionty time louder than the dialogue virus onto the program too, chiz.

Oooo, good find. If you haven't seen them live, do so, they are great*!

*It's ok, I shan't repeat my story about seeing them in 199<cough>, when they were known as Three Day Hombre

Mrs T and myself went to the local Co-op the other night.

Whilst wandering the aisles I heard "Drip, Drip, Drip" emanating from the overhead speakers.

No, it wasn't the water tank leaking, it was the beginning of "Black Chandelier" by Biffy Clyro!!!!!

I feel very old.

Listeners to Radmac have just been contacting the programme, nostalgic about Shed Seven.

I teched their first gig! Must have been just the other week...

Biggsy · « **Reply #193 on:** 20 October, 2014, 03:31:09 pm »

I'm afraid I associate Shed Seven with the awful boredom of listening to Steve Lacrap and Smiley Woman on Radio One years ago (in the hope of hearing the odd good tune, before Radio 6 was invented).

clarion · « **Reply #194 on:** 20 October, 2014, 03:33:11 pm »

Oh, I don't actually like them! But they were decent enough kids...

Shame you didn't wire up their mics to the mains.

clarion · « **Reply #196 on:** 20 October, 2014, 04:23:11 pm »

Which reminds me: I did Bros' first gig as well.

Sadly, I was not in charge of the sound on that occasion.
