A Year in Music

Filed under: Reference

This time last year I utilised my fine excel skills to produce a list of all the songs I’d been listening to on via my iPod. Unfortunately the little white jukebox has partially fried and refuses to correctly negotiate playcounts. Therefore I thought I’d just post some of the bands I’ve been listening to over the last year:

I’ve got right into Idlewild & The Stone Roses and I’ve probably spent more time listening to them than any other…

Though I’ve also been getting into listening to The Mars Volta & The Deftones.

Whilst continuing my love of Biffy Clryo, Future eX Wife, Metallica, The Cooper Temple Clause & Soundgarden.

And more generally; getting into Jazz & Motown.

That’s a pretty pared down list and it’ll do nicely for now.

Christmas & New Years

Filed under: Diary Entries

Well I finished my shopping in time and then variously took in the delights of christmas and new years whilst piling on a few pounds and avoiding any semblence of work whatso-ever. Yup, another decent christmas!

First off to Stafford to visit my grandma, Sarah popped down for the Saturday to say hi to everyone (& bearing the best cake ever!), before we all trapsed off on the Sunday.

We went to my Uncle and Aunts place in Essex until Boxing day. Of particular note was the giant christmas feast laid on by our hosts.

On the 26th we moseyed on down to Balham and stayed at Anna’s for a few nights, I met up with Brian whilst there for 24 games of pool ( I lost 13-11, though I was 7-0 down at one point) and we ate out at an Italian on the last day… which was Friday.

Made my way back to Manchester and had a second christmas day on the Saturday (the 30th).

Had three parties to choose from on the Sunday, but neither Sarah nor I could be arsed, both feeling that whilst we ought to go to one of the parties neither of us actually wanted to. So we stayed in and played Mario Kart.

Back into work on the 2nd, though Monday and Tuesday were both occupied by sorting things out, so today is my first day actually working!

Tarra!
