A badly spelled spam email put this word in my mind. Sounds very Day Today (meganews, newsatrolysis, factgasm) but seems they didn’t coin that one. Seems like a great name for some kind of news gathering system or online service, Web 2.0 no doubt. Some if not all of the domain name options are available: [...]

Registration is now open for the 11th International Conference on Electronic Publishing, hosted by the Vienna University of Technology, Austria, 13-15 June 2007.
I was quite excited for a moment, there, by the prospect of El Pub 2007 - my first thought was that it [...]

Direct from that parallel linguistic universe called variously the Netherlands and Holland - where an anglophone without any Dutch will typically encounter words that look and sound at once enticingly familiar yet totally incomprehensible - comes another Twilight Zone experience, in the form of Serzjant Paepers Oeits Haos Sterre Band. Can you see what [...]

Jerry likes this photo. Not only is it full of those eponymous iced cherry and almond tarts, but the young lady in the picture is the spitting image of another old friend and confidante, Rosemary Hill.
Maybe it is her, Jerry, at least per procurationem, sending a not-so-subliminal message to who else but you?
I should [...]
So we’ve just discovered that it’s ok to like ELO - but will it ever be ok to like ELP? Well, if you’re an Apple Acetate collector you might have to bite the bullet: there’s an Apple acetate of ELP’s Tarkus album on Ebay right now. The album proper was released on Cotillion Records in [...]
DJ Dab Boy and myself have been having some fun with Audacity. Boy, mixing and cutting up isn’t half hard work: imagine how long it must have taken DJ Food ages to make Raiding The 20th Century, or DJ Dangermouse to do the Grey Album? (Dangermouse says he spent a fortnight on the Grey Album: [...]
Interesting to see this French James Taylor single on Apple: Taylor had “Carolina” released among the first tranche of Apple singles in the US, but no single was released in UK until “Carolina” was released in 1971. Clearly Taylor was deemed worthy of a single in mainland Europe, but there the track chosen from his [...]
Would quite like to get off the subject of Apple Records for a while, but I suppose I’d be failing in my Apple blogging duties if I didn’t report the appearance of a copy of King Of Fuh on Ebay. No point in blogging the latest bid (currently over £600), but I’ll make a note [...]
I commented a while back that I’d narrowly missed a chance to see Billy Preston when we were in Nice last year. And now sadly it looks like I won’t be seeing him at all: he died earlier today.
Needless to say the news wires are already filling up with all that “fifth Beatle” stuff. (Just [...]
