URL ABCs

Simple premise - type each letter of the alphabet into your browser’s location bar and note down the first URL it suggests for each. I ganked this from Blogapotamus, and there are many like it but this one is mine.

A is for audioscrobbler.com/user/earthman/ - My audioscrobbler output. See what I’ve been listening to! HOW FASCINATING.

Still Got The Booze

Ooops. Went to a blues jam night last night. Didn’t know it went on until 1am. Didn’t get to play until after midnight. By which time I’d drunk far far too much. Couldn’t play. Limped through a 12-bar but made horrible hash of everything. Embarrassed self and others. Threw a strop and went home. Fell [...]

Holy Rock, Batman!

Could someone please tell me why I’d never listened to Slash’s Snakepit before?

Why would a dried up lake bed in Nevada have a runway across it?
Google’s new satellite feature provides you - yes YOU - the opportunity to spy on Area 51.
(Probably.)
Area 51 info from several places, specific link ganked from Warren Ellis.

Bugger

So the thing I was really hoping would happen has spectacularly failed to do so. I can’t tell you any more than that, other than that I’m very disappointed. This, coupled with some utterly gobsmackingly bad financial news this week, means that cm.com will likely be short on updates for a little while.
Don’t worry, or [...]

Gig + Wedding = Weekend

Well that was a hell of a weekend, and no mistake.
We, the Monkeys, played a monster covers gig on Friday night. It was probably the most fun I’ve ever had on stage bar none. A couple of songs went mildly awry, but for the most part we were on the money and rocking out in [...]
