So, I just discovered that the playlist players are vanishing for subscribers. I'm kinda' bummed about that, though on the bright side, the only reason I subscribed was to have the players handy - so that's some cash in my pocket I wouldn't have otherwise.

I must admit, this announcement really got me thinking. I mean, for your dollars, what do you now get that you don't as a none subscriber? Personally, the extra crud that I get as a subscriber is all (apart from the previously mentioned playlists) well, crud. I don't care about the black icon, I don't…

Hello you, it's been a while since I wrote anything here, but having just deleted a load of baffling comments from it, I thought i would make a quick post.

Okay, not sure what "Underwater" is, but no, I am not in any way affiliated with it…not even aware of what "it" is…not really interested in finding out either, and even less interested in being used as some kind of spam advertising outlet for them or their representatives. Hope that sorts that out.

Blocked my first user today. These two announcements are connected.

Now, what I have been listening to…

Ugh. I've had the dreaded pig pox, and cannot recall feeling as unwell as that in my entire life!

Did experience some strange moments whilst running a fever though, the most memorable for me being the afternoon when I was convinced that someone had stolen some of the inches from my TV's screen diameter. Don't ask me who…or why…or how…but they had…I could see it…it was missing…

The most frustrating thing about that was knowing deep down that what I was seeing was impossibly, and knowing that I was really poorly, and was just experiencing the world in a less…

GNAC (a.k.a Mark Tranmer) has two new offerings, both of which I have picked up today.

The first Red Pages is a lovely collaboration between GNAC & Alessandra Celletti, and is a glorious piano journey through the starry, and at times, slightly creepy tunes that have made GNAC a firm, firm favourite of mine over the years.

The second album was released literally 2 minutes ago on iTunes and Amazon; Scoop of Ice Cream Moon, and so far, I have only heard the previews of the tracks (which sounded lovely indeed).

I'm hoping I have found some mood…

Something pops up to make my last entry a lie!

Our Valley (Site Link)

Beautiful.

I've been thinking today, about how it has been a while since a new track made me sit up and shiver with delight. I have bought a fair bit of new stuff lately, and it's all been quite nice, but…none of it has made me go "wow", which is a damn shame, because I love that feeling.

So, that's why I have not been posting much. Still listening to the usual stuff, and occasionally to odds and ends I listen to less commonly. It's odd how the tunes you listen to at one point in your life suddenly take a…

Colfax by Principles of Geometry is one of my favourite tunes ever (though I still prefer the sublime Akeshore which is pure undiluted joy as far as I am concerned), and Fieldtriqp is one of my favourite artists…so I may have had a bit of wee come out when I just noticed that the latter has done a remix of the former (as in the first former, not Akeshore).

It's beautiful. I recommed with all my fluids you buy it!

Yay!

For some reason, I have not had much music on lately, which considering that I normally have something playing constantly is a bit weird. It's even weirder when you consider I have been writing a lot, and as a general rule I have to have some tunes playing when I write, if only to divorce my brains from this mundane world, and to help them sink into the darkling place from where my imaginings spring.

Anyway, as I write this, I am actually listening to the latest One on Twosim, which is another beauty (DOWNLOAD). So far special mention has…

Gabriel's new album Roads We Travel…

…Wow. Just. Wow.

I've been waiting for something like this for a long, long time. I can't comment too much as I am still on my first listen through (right this very instant), but so far, this has been one of the most lovely albums I have heard in a very long time.

It's simply wonderful; the sound of 1980's maths programmes, mingled with blurry polaroids of forgotten childhood holidays and the optimistic possibilities of the first morning of the six weeks holidays. Really making me smile this one.

My descriptions a…

Is it me, or is it about time Boards of Canada released something new?
