Nice day! :)

Filed under admin, music | 2 Comments

I have come a long way with the Wordpress 2.5 and i really like it! It’s a much cleaner layout for the admin area. I also found a wonderful template from freewpthemes.net so i like it way more than the current theme i have. I’d put it up tonight except i know if anything goes [...]

Youtube catches up! :)

Filed under music | No Comments

Further to my previous post, there is now a video of The Choir singing Stand By Me on youtube.
Okay, there are plenty of criticisms you can make, particularly with speed, timing, and volume contrast. I could go on. But if you saw the whole program you would know how far they have come, and the [...]

The Choir

Filed under music, television | No Comments

Funny TV for a Friday night, but oddly un-tear-away-from-able … The Choir, “Boys Don’t Sing” where Gareth Malone takes Lancaster School in Leicester and forms a choir out of nothing and takes them to perform at the Royal Albert Hall. I watched both episodes, and i was completely in tears by the end of it [...]

This is being a lovely weekend

Filed under family, friends, music | 2 Comments

There is something about Spring that attracts positive feelings to me. I feel happy about the weather, and therefore, i start to feel cheerful and optimistic about other things too. I went to have my eyebrows shaped nicely yesterday, so i was feeling really good about my appearance. I went into the charity shop thinking [...]

Yamaha NP30

Filed under keyboard, music | No Comments

My friend Becky has got me somewhat obsessed by this:

Yamaha NP30
It is the most portable keyboard ever made, weighing only 12.7kg, it has 76 keys (six octaves) 10 multiple-sampled voices, graded touch, and best of all … it only costs £160!
By the sounds of this this demo it plays like a dream, but i must [...]

Wrock on!!

Filed under harry potter, music, television | No Comments

I am continuing to enjoy the Wizard Rock music i have found! I discovered that i really like Ministry of Magic which, as a band, is much more dance oriented, and have a few funny covers of well-known songs.
My favourite would be Here In Your Car, a parody of Here In Your Arms, because it [...]

My precious computer (that i built myself) stopped working yesterday. It was fine in the morning, but when we came home in the evening it just wouldn’t turn on. Boohoo. We had a few power blips the previous night so i wonder if there was another one that blew the power supply. Tonight i have [...]

Is it a crime

Filed under music | No Comments

Am i terrible for REALLY liking Kate Nash’s music? I just love all these down-to-earth real-life kind of lyrics, and yeah i even appreciate Kate’s accent, even though it reminds me of Catherine Tate doing Lauren! But it seems nobody else i know is as nearly as big a fan of Kate as i am.
Here [...]
