It’s-a time for a-music!
To be read with a really, really bad Italian accent! Nothing Italian about the rest of this crap; basically it’s just me talking about, well, mainly a mishmash of old-ish and new-ish music. When I was working in graphics I had a lot of time to listen to music. But you can’t really do that…

Song Mood: Wake Up
You know those days, don’t you – those days when you aren’t motivated at all to get out of bed? I have conducted various experiments over the years and have come to the conclusion that music is extremely helpful in dragging your body out of the warm, comfortable covers and into the cruel world … So here I am, still in…

22 Years Later, My Bloody Valentine Release a New Album
The website of My Bloody Valentine crashed last night after they announced that they’d be releasing their new album in the following hours. I was up till 2 am, absolutely freaking out, until I got the copy. And so, 22 years after the release of Loveless, the band of my heart, whose songs have accompanied me to so…
