House pics

Here are a few photos of our new house. They're the publicity pics taken by the agent, it's not our furniture or anything. Click thumbnails for bigger images.

Settlement's tomorrow... it was last Monday that we first looked at it.

House owning action

Amanda and I bought a house yesterday. It was our first time (hopefully the last for some time, too). Crazy process, crazy feeling, but very happy.

Analog(ue) Audio Tape Cassette Nostalgia

This site delivers exactly what it says.

tapedeck.org analog audio tape cassette nostalgia

Spent a good half hour of, yes, nostalgic enthusing at the galleries within. Gonna reskin my MP3 player with one of them, I think.

Contemporary or not?

I stumbled upon this Youtube clip embedded in a page, so I couldn't see the name or any info about it. The weird thing was I couldn't decide from watching it whether it was contemporary people being very calculatedly retro or something really old...

As it happens, it's from 31 years ago.

2007 music faves

I've posted a couple of lists on last.fm of the stuff I enjoyed most that was released in 2007. As is probably always the case, most of the things I was really getting excited about were released prior to 2007... it's left me toying with the idea of doing a 2006 list too.

Anyway, fave singles:
