50 most listened to artists of 2006
According to my LastFM profile:
The Cinematic Orchestra, although heavily listened to, is exaggerated as I made up a playlist of some of their songs which I listened to when I had trouble sleeping. Dawn in particular always helps me relax.
Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard are in for the amazing Batman Begins soundtrack. Tenacious D are in there purely on the strength of their old stuff.
Ironically, the most listened to song by Midwest Product turns out to be the one called Pigeons.

Munich
I watched Munich for the first time tonight. It’s a good film, but... that was one disturbing sex scene.
Brighton Beach
At 2am last night, I walked down to the shoreline of Brighton beach. I listened to the pebbles crunch beneath my feet, to the sea lapping against them. The light of the full moon glittered off the surface of the water, and a calm came over me as I relaxed and drew it all in.
This experience was marred slightly by the young man who ran down beside me to pee. Now, with each lap of the sea I thought: “Yep, that’s piss”.
Fun times
This stuff is designed to replace lost water and body salts, and tastes like sea-water. With a hint of lemon.
Deadly.
Non-horrific posts will return when I have time, which looking ahead will probably be when I’m in Switzerland, i.e. November.
Needs
Currently...
- in need of some sleep, and...
- in quite desperate need of a shave.
People who wonder why I post such shit don’t understand that, when I am short on time, the purpose of this blog shifts almost entirely to “Piss off Des”.
Bonus links
Tards with Mics, and Tards with Mics II.
Do not do this
Seriously, if I catch anyone doing this on Saint Patrick’s day, I will throw eggs.
On the back it reads: “....and remember you don’t need the luck of the irish to sell your home with Sharon Nolan”.
Lame!
First episode of Usability Reviews
Des and I launched the first episode of Usability Reviews today. It’s a video blog where we talk about usability and give our thoughts on it.
In this episode we look at Bugzilla. You can read more about Usability Reviews over at Des’s blog.
Apologies for the audio and video quality... we had no external microphone and our tripod was four chairs, along with a cushion and a copy of the Evening Herald.
