...just not loads of time to do so... Will do a fuller update soon but, as these things are bouncing around my mind a couple of updates: a blogged twitter if you will.
((and I dislike Twitter incidentally. I did sign up, and may come around to it, but as soon as I got a sign on confirmation and viewed the starter page I realised that it was very much not for me)).
SO:
House of Heroes: The End is not the End. Only available in the States at the moment but this band impressed me like no other a number of years ago when they released their House of Heroes CD (not apparently their debut which I mistakenly thought it was). The content was... obtuse... but the execution was fabulous. And then they went quiet and I followed their myspace, downloaded a couple of demos, and finally the follow up cd is out and it is a total cracker. It's pretty much been my sole soundtrack to the past weeks chaos and it's a blast. Well worth the attention. Some CDs make me want to grab a guitar and learn to play and this is very much in that realm. Raven is my song of the year, possibly the past few years in fact. The last song that grabbed me this much was a fabulous Five Iron Frenzy song whos name I can't remember off hand for the mo' but will add later.
Also; just recieved the proof of another book and it looks pretty cool. Will post about that later (sorry) just noticed the time and I'm teaching at 10 with the ICT group. Onwards.
