It was all go yesterday, as Belfast did a fantastic job of raising a hell of a lot of money for Haiti.
The campaign which started less than 3 weeks ago, and on Twitter if I remember correctly, by Aaron and Anto, massively surpassed the original £20,000 target.
A 5km fun run took place yesterday morning, [...]

One of my two favourite songs at the minute. Thanks to Charles for this one.
I’ll leave the other for next week, unless it gets bumped in the next seven days.
Nneka – Heartbeat
The video isn’t embedable, though I urge you to watch it.
You said you’d be there for me
In times of trouble when I need [...]

In search of a regular music theme for the blog I’ll posting the lyrics from my favourite song of the moment each Wednesday. This is ‘Another World’ by Antony & The Johnsons. It’s a sombre and sad album, but Antony’s voice is just beautiful; so full of emotion.
I need another place
Will there be peace
I [...]

It wouldn’t right if I didn’t have just one list before the end of the year…
I hope to watch more movies in 2010 so next year there’ll be another list.
Royksöpp – Junior

Mumford & Sons – Sigh No More

Ratatat – LP3

Antony & the Johnsons – The Crying Light

Calvin Harris – Ready for the Weekend

So “we” won. As of early this evening Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Killing in the Name’ out-sold Simon Cowell’s latest “protégé”, Joe McElderry, to the number one spot in the UK singles chart.
In an era when single sales continue to dwindle, it’s certainly been a while since the race for the number one meant as [...]

Geoff Gatt released his long awaited album last week. Named ‘Ten Year Road’, and covering, through song the past ten years, the album spans a number of emotions and events in Geoff’s life from the death of his brother to being in love.
Known for his ukulele and such hilarity as ‘Hippos in the Shower’ [...]

Mumford & Sons – Dust Bowl Dance

The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
I’ve been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And [...]

Belfast electronic duo Oppenheimer have sadly decided to call it a day after 5 years on the go, achieving some success in the form of a dedicated local following, a number of headline shows, songs appearing in ‘Ugly Better’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother’ as well as touring with They Might Be Giants in [...]

Last.fm is a UK-based Internet radio and music community website, founded in 2002. It claims over 30 million active users based in more than 200 countries. [wikipedia]
It is based on the Audioscrobbler plugin created in 2003, by Richard Jones as part of his third-year computer science project while at University of Southampton School of Electronics [...]

I’ve felt slightly inadequate for a while now. I don’t have an iPhone. People are shocked when I tell them, but it’s true. The next best thing is surely the iPod Touch, you know, without being tied to a overpriced contract with O2 for all eternity. Having been with it for a few weeks I’ve [...]
