Then hours listening to it yesterday at the Brighton Marathon 2011. Am still hobbling.

There’s more beats in the second half, for when the going gets a little harder. It worked out for me yesterday. There are moments when a tune comes on and you just smile and put your foot down. I love that feeling.

Whilst they’re still chatting things over, OpenTape have come up with a beautiful response, distribute an equivalent software that Muxtape used but enable users to host the tunes themselves. Genii. If you’ve got some hosting space, it takes about a minute to ‘install’.

Listen.

I missed out on buying tickets in time then saw that they’d released some more as competition prizes. Entered the comp and bob’s your rather fortuitous uncle, a week later received an email saying I was one of the lucky winners. The 4-leafed clovers are on me.

Muse: Giving it large

It was the first proper large night out for Kate since finding out she was up the duff last January. That’s 14+ months without going loopy, which is enough to send you loopy really. Cousin Don and Helene, who now live close enough that we could actually catapult Frankie to them, very kindly babysat for the whole night whilst we went out and made merry.

We were pretty much on stage, and Matt Bellamy also treated us to a rendition on the organ there which was very cool. I think this is the third time I’ve seen them and due to the great venue was probably the best. If you get the chance to see them live, do so. They are awesome.

It’s your modern day version of a mix tape. You upload up to a dozen songs which anyone can then play back through a browser. Go have a look and listen to some random peoples’ tunes. Will try and update my muxtape every now and again.

Here’s mine: http://jamesspratt.muxtape.com, send us your’s.

Can’t find it anywhere, would love to have that track again.

Update, 24.4.7: My Bro Chris over in NZ tracked it down for me, will post it shortly. Even better than I remembered too.
