Barney's blog. Just a load of old shite really.

I remembered; I'd seen a copy of Q Magazine over the festive break and they had the top 50 albums of 2007 listed (they only have their top 10 on the site), and I was horrified to see that Mr Hudson and the Library's "A Tale of Two Cities" was not in there. For my money, the album of 2007, no question.
(Oh, and that link didn't used to be a MySpace page - maybe they're working on the main site).

I nearly cursed just now. It seems no matter how good my intentions, it's always about a month between posts these days. Dammit. So I just got home from a good night with a good mate. Some shit was shot and a few beers were had, so apologies if this gets a bit random. Anyways.......
First, I can't remember what is first. I had something poignant and interesting to write floating about in my head and now it's slipped away. If I remember it, I'll come back and fill in this gap.
Next, Bill Gates' video of his last day at Microsoft from CES this year. Genius, respect where it's due etc.
Now, Kina Grannis, the girl that did the digg song, I have no idea why it's so appealing - it should be a slightly embarrassing geek item, but somehow is not. Actually, I do know why it's appealing - she is amazingly cute and sounds great, and also seems to be both talented and prolific. I hope she makes it. In fact, I just caught Try whilst writing this. F?*k; that's really, really good. I hope it's not some marketing trick (the production/engineering sounds dubiously well-done to me), but she is breathtaking in any case, so look after her, please.
