Earlier this week I discovered that my laptop battery was dead, well 20 minutes of life with a dimmed screen, is honestly caput. So I’ve ordered a new which has been despatched today. Last night, I discovered that my power…
Continue readingI’ve added so much to my iPod in the last year, what with adding ‘s cd collection and the wedding playlist and all, I wanted to see just what I came up with if I had a whole day on…
Continue readingI can’t quite get my head around this one, and what I really think. My brother pointed me in the direction of this via his twitterings: a shockingly awesome shocksome music video on the @RadarMusicVideo site. It scandalised Iceland! Warning:…
Continue readingToday has felt a bit like the end of term. It’s deathly quiet in the office, and I had a very nice lunch out in Little Clarendon Street (surely one of the best streets in the whole of Oxford?) with…
Continue readingOur wedding playlist is truly eclectic. Weâve only had a handful of duplications to date, and it now stands at some 186 songs (by which I mean songs, sometimes in the loosest of meanings) and 12 hours worth of running…
Continue readingSeeing as my iPod has a ridiculous 80Gb of space on it I’ve been working my way through ‘s CD collection. Now my iPod, being a collection‐without‐selection of every piece of music I collect was always an eclectic mix. With…
Continue readingEmma and I have been asking our guest list for 5 song suggestions each for use post-meal at our wedding reception. I’ve always hoped that we would get a thoroughly eclectic mix of songs and unearth some hidden gems. Yesterday…
Continue reading~ Woke up this morning in the most alarming of ways. My dream was brought to a (literally) crashing end with the thought that someone had thrown a brick through the window. What’s more, with our neighbours off somewhere early,…
Continue readingWhen at full strength there now seems to be an amazing twelve flautists in our band. This month’s concert should therefore stand as a watchword that one shouldn’t take lots of flutes for granted, for worryingly at tonight’s rehearsal there…
Continue readingFifty years ago today, Ralph Vaughan Williams died. Vaughan Williams is one of Emâs and mine favourite composers. For Emma, its Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, and for me itâs his Norfolk Rhapsody and Folk Song Suite. Following…

Continue readingI couldn’t really decide what to play today, so I thought I’d shuffle my way through my entire music collection on random and see what I end up with. I might skip the spoken word tracks, and I’ll aim not…
Continue readingposted a chart of her favourite songs today. I don’t think I have a favourite song per se, it changes too often. But right now, but for the last six months or so, one of my favourite songs has been…
Continue readingI’ve just heard my Gran talk! An aside to this should be that I only have one Granpa left, so to hear my Gran talk is somewhat surprising. I’m listening to my mp3 player, and this morning whilst scrolling through…
Continue readingFor the past few months I’ve been playing Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, culminating in a performance of said piece of music in Saturday’s concert. I’d never heard of this music before, but its turned up on Emma’s favourite Christmas CD,…
Continue readingI’ve just gone to plug myself in to my mp3 player for the day to discover that I’m out of juice. Zero battery. No charge. No life. 🙁 What makes this particularly annoying is I did think last night, as…

Continue reading1. Discovered some strangely appropriate music today to listen to whilst clicking through OnlineEarly, in Sandi Thom’s album. The thing is I can’t listen the track Superman because I have become convinced that she is singing ‘Don’t want suppmat’, on…
Continue readingToday the entire Howell family descended on us for the day. Or at least it felt like the entire Howell Family. In actual fact, Gareth and Andy and their three (very Welsh-named) kids didn’t, being in America now. But Carys…
