Download killed the DVD killed the video killed the radio star
Published by December 27th, 2006 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsEnd of year reflections - Part 2 in a series of a few. Maybe.
If 2005 was the year of DVD Boxset TV binging (come on, catch up Mark) 2006 has been the year of the TV download for me. Paul would be proud.
Just over a year ago I plumbed in a neat little Elgato […]
Too pissed to finish the second part of the end-of-year review right now, but offer up 1 billion mazes in it’s place, and even that’s via DIGG. Here’s to lazy Christmas postings.
And a good bottle of Burgundy.
Hic.
Merry Christmas one and all.
If you write a blog, you have to do an end of year best-of-review-list-of-lists type post - it’s in the rules. So here goes.
Part 1 - The Music
OK. Combining a bit of last.fm (which is in a ropey state and spread across too many Mac’s), my overflowing car CD pile, my iPod and a […]
Hit and miss collection of Flickr Toys - great for wasting time avoiding the realisation that you’ve done no Christmas shopping yet. The Hockney-iser is particularly addictive when fed the right image. None of them a patch on Moo Cards tho’ …
Also worth mentioning, is XPapr. Grand Union’s nicely-done web 2.0 pastiche Christmas present to […]
Direct from New York, a box of chocs from my favourite vendor of legal Endorphin highs.
These are from the Italian Collection and mix chocolate with Olive Oil, Taleggio cheese (really), Tuscan Fennel Pollen (whatev-a), Balsamic Vinegar and Sicilian Sea Salt. Very poncy, and I dare not even think of the carbon footprint.
Never had […]
I’m a big fan of UVA’s work. Their latest effort, Volume, has just been unveiled @ the V&A as part of the Playstation Season. Looks amazing. Check out the video. Makes me long to do something more tangible than websites.
Reckon I’ll check this out tomorrow night as the V&A opens til late on Wednesday’s […]
With all the recent goings on, i’ve not had much headspace for many things, let alone music.
So, whilst I picked up on the rumblings back in September of Paul Simonon’s new venture (his first in 13 years) called The Good, The Bad and The Queen - with Blur’s Damon Albarn, Tony Allen, The Verve’s Simon […]
OK, so it’s not quite like the fall of the Berlin wall or JFK’s assassination, but I was there when my good friend and founder of tapeitofftheinternet.com, Paul, got his first business cards through. And I got the first one!
TIOTI started off as a gag, that became a concept and that now’s attracting serious […]
