- 26 May 2008: The best of Eurovision
- It’s very easy to be negative about Eurovision, so lets accentuate the positive
- 18 December 2007: Fairy Tale of Censorship
- Well Radio 1’s decision to censor The Pogues’ Fairytale of New York has now been reversed now, but sometimes I just want to throw a dictionary at some people.
- 4 October 2005: Protection Racket
- I don’t often comment on news stories but I loved the Media Guardian article about the fact that 90% of entertainment companies are failing to protect their products from illegal online use, and that only 50% of products have any protection.
- 16 May 2005: Music Player Stats
- Nearly three weeks since getting it, I’ve been rather haphazardly ripping CDs and uploading them onto my new MP3 player, getting so far 64 albums on it, with a total of 851 tracks and using 2.9Gb - only 16Gb to go.
- 28 April 2005: Into the Digital Age
- When I worked at Bush House, it was a daily ritual. Just before going out, pick up a CD, bung it in my CD player and run out the door. One CD would generally last me door to door. But not any more.
- 13 March 2005: Singles, Space and the Compilation
- I’ve been slowly digitising many of the singles I haven’t heard for years. It’s been quite a wonderful process - there’s 600 odd singles I haven’t listened to for goodness knows how long.
- 21 November 2004: Ladyflash
- There is one song that I just can’t get enough of since I first heard it on 6music last weekend. Ladyflash by The Go! Team.
- 6 October 2004: Flashmob - The Opera
- Okay I’ll be honest. When it comes to opera… well. And as for flashmobbing… well the phrase ‘new media wanker’ is what usually springs to mind.. So you can perhaps see why something called ‘Flashmob - The Opera’, well… might not really work in my mind…
- 31 May 2004: Bods ‘uses’ mycokemusic.com
- Well you can’t beat a sequel sometimes, so to follow up ‘Bods Tries To Use mycokemusic.com’, here is Bods ‘uses’ mycokemusic.com! And what an ‘experience’ it was…
- 12 March 2004: Music, sweet music.
- Ever sat down and listened to a song and it was just so beautiful, so wonderful, so utterly amazing, that it made you want to cry? Just cry. For no apparant reason beyond the fact that it’s just so… so… so utterly fantastic?
- 26 January 2004: Bods tries to use myCokeMusic.com
- I’ve read a lot about myCokeMusic.com - yet another bandwagon jumping music download site - so I thought I’d try it out. And this being my blog, I’d better tell you how it went…
- 9 September 2003: No Win for Token Folk Album
- Unsurprising the token folk album didn’t win the Mercury Music Prize this year…
- 7 September 2003: CD Copy ‘protection’
- Record company attempts to tide the stem of illegal downloading of MP3s, will do little more than increase it.
- 29 August 2003: Fopp-tastic
- Fopp are a small chain of wondeful record stores who manage to persuade me to part with money far too easily…
- 26 July 2003: Eliza Carthy - Anglicana
- There’s always a smug satisfaction about owning an album before it gets nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.
- 24 May 2003: Eurovision 2003.
- It’s Eurovision! For some reason…
- 6 December 2002: The Avalanches - Since I Left You
- Since I Left You and Frontier Psychiatrist! Oh the wonderful joy of the Avalanches!
