Yayy for embedded videos!

This is my collection of the great and the good.

It is still closed to comments as I am still working on it, but I think there is enough here for people to start enjoying.

These are all songs I want to hear again and again. The journal originally started as a central place for me to put my videos so I can chill out with a cup of tea and press play without having to think too hard.

Now though, I think it's become a personal journal and I think I've unearthed some gems in…

No need to comment. Continuing my central repository for artists and tracks I want to get. Recommendations welcome. :)

Just looking around for a creative writing course and stumbled across 100 words a day

It's a bit strict, you are only allowed to miss one day in a month.

I am not sure I could do that, so I didn't join. Instead, I thought I would start something similar here, open to all, if you're interested.

The rule - write 100 words exactly (no more, no less). You could write about your favourite artist or album. Or you could just daydream and see where your stream of consciousness takes you.

It has to be bang on 100 words, no…

MAJOR problems with this release.

I am so unhappy. There is distortion, skipping, songs get stuck. It is very unstable. You cannot do anything else if you want to listen to your music. It sounds absolutely horrible.

The worst thing is, once installed, you cannot uninstall it and put your previous version back.

If anyone has found a good workaround, I would love to know what you did. Please reply here or PM me.

Aaah, the end of a great era. RIP TOTP. :' (

What are your most memorable moments? What influence did the show have on you? How did it shape your tastes?

One of my most memorable moments has to be the show when Duran Duran performed 'Planet Earth'. In the same show, we also had Spandau Ballet with 'To Cut A Long Story Short'. The next day, everybody at school was talking about them and all of a sudden, Manchester was teeming with New Romantics. When these two acts appeared, (according to Duran Duran's website, it was 5 March 1981),…

Awww, bless her, Kylie is making it up to her fans. :' )

Well it all started when I found this video by accident:

The Ride

Brought to my attention, I noticed a couple of reviews and was intrigued enough to get the album. Well, my word, it ticks all the right boxes.

If you like Rufus / Martha Wainwright, you will enjoy this. Antony of Antony & The Johnsons guests (which of course he would cos wherever Rufus goes, he's only a step or two behind!). Don't let that put you off if you are not a fan.

Ignore the 'Similar Artists' in Last, it is not quite on the…
