Music for Summer 2007
August 1, 2007 – 12:15 pm
These are the albums that are rocking my summer:
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever people say I am that’s what I’m notThis album is absolutely cracking, and note it’s the original album and not the newer “Favourite Worst Nightmare” that I’m recommending. I only really started listening to this band earlier this year and I far prefer [...]

DRM Software Going Too Far
November 1, 2005 – 2:34 pm
Mark Russinovich tells the frightening tale of the rootkit-style software he found on his machine, installed without his knowledge (or permission) by the DRM software on a Sony music CD.
If the technical details in his write-up are all a bit much, I’ll summarise: When Mark played the Sony CD in his Windows computer, it quietly [...]
Wordpress Naming
October 17, 2005 – 10:04 pm
I wrote a while back about Wordpress using a similar naming scheme to that used for PN2 releases, there’s an excellent write-up of some of the release names chosen so far over on Ryan Boren’s blog.
Ever since the third release of PN 2 (2.0.3) PN releases have been named after my favorite jazz musicians. It [...]
Occasional Tastes
September 26, 2005 – 7:39 pm
I have always liked to think that I have a broad taste in music and that anything goes. However, it turns out I’m a bit of a music snob when it comes to Dance, Hip Hop and other currently-trendy chart music. I find it difficult to get into anything that doesn’t include people playing real [...]
Phew!

What a month! In the last month I have:
Moved from my flat into my mate’s place (including putting all of our stuff into storage) while we waited for our next flat to become free.
Seen Ben Folds live at Southampton Guildhall
Enjoyed a very muddy Glastonbury Festival (my 7th!):
Moved from my mate’s place into our new flat, [...]
Treehouse Burning
April 12, 2005 – 4:43 pm
Some very good mates of mine from home play in a fantastic rock band called Treehouse Burning. Tonight, one of their songs is being played on the Huw Stephens show on Radio 1 - that is absolutely amazing!
You can see the listing and download the song on the Unsigned show page.
Congratulations to the guys!
Robin Banks and the Jailbirds
February 20, 2005 – 7:45 pm
On Friday night my band (”Robin Banks and the Jailbirds”) played their first gig - for my sister’s engagement party! We play entirely covers, and tried to use a mix of mostly classic rock songs with one or two more recent “classics” to keep everyone happy.
Highlights of the gig for me were our “signature tune” [...]
