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.

Go Rick.

Top top tune.

Scroobious Pip vs Dan Le Sac: Thou Shalt Always Kill. Tremendous.

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.

I’d surfed on to this guy’s myspace previously and read some reviews so went with it. The guy’s name is A F Harrold and he’s a funny man. Have a listen to this poem entitled ‘A Poem About My Body’.

Was down there for one a few year’s back that went off, this one will be absolutely gibbering seeing as though it’s the depth of winter at that point. Frozen disco dancing, can’t wait.

23.12.6
…err, change of plan, despite my initial excitment at getting these, I’m now trying to sell the tickets as 1. will no doubt be hungover, 2. want to go retrieve my girlfriend from the airport at 6am the next day. If you know anyone who’s interested in buying the tickets off me, do shout. SOLD.
