Sounds Good.



"This photo was taken by photographer Jack Bradley and depicts the exact moment this boy, Harold Whittles, hears for the very first time ever. The doctor treating him has just placed an earpiece in his left ear. Date unknown."

The look in his eyes is priceless! That's something that can't be faked. Brilliant photo.

POV.



Love stuff like this. It reminds me of the BBC sitcom "Peep Show", filmed entirely in first-person. Check it out if you've never seen it, it's one of the best shows on TV.

Almost Time.

Early candidate for "the summer album":


















Broken Bells are Danger Mouse (musical half of Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, The Grey Album...) and James Mercer (singer for The Shins). I mean, do you need to know anything else? You can stream the album here.

These Days.

I keep this site in my browser's favourites, often clicking on it when I'm bored, probably expecting to see something new. Like someone else may have taken over for me. Lately I've been neglecting it worse than ever. I have all kinds of stories I'd love to tell, and to be honest I prefer telling them in person, but this is a little more accessible I guess.

I just can't seem to justify spending the time on this lately. This isn't a goodbye, I love it here and I'll write more eventually. But my girlfriend, my friends and I are all so busy that when I do get time off I just feel like I'd be wasting it here on the computer. No offense. The only reason I'm here right now is because everyone is gone.

This is just an update to keep any readers in the loop, and so that in the future when I start writing again the gap between posts doesn't seem too big...

'til then.

Lyndsey's A God.



Normally I don't like it when musicians change a great song during a live performance. So often it seems like they're only doing it because they're bored and sick of the album version. But Lyndsey seems to be enjoying this whole-heartedly. You can tell by the way he moves that he's really feeling this song. He is an incredible guitar player, his right hand looks like a spider crawling across the strings. Brilliant. He's a smart man and it's a great song.

Can We?



The looks that Paul and John give each other make this great. Before the tension and turmoil. They were having fun. I've just realized how much the lyrics apply to the later stages of the Beatles. Both of them fighting for control. Sometimes I think it's better to leave out the bitter details.

One Can Dream.

This man claims that in an alternate universe, The Beatles never broke up and are still touring. He even provides a “new” Beatles album for download...

Check it out. Read the story.

It's fascinating (and a little depressing) because I wonder, pretty much on a daily basis, what the Beatles would sound like today.
