2 Metre Sessie by Chris Isaak Now the more astute of you or any huge fan of Chris Isaak will be going “WTF?! I don’t recognise this as an album!”. And the answer would be yes. You are right. This is a 1991 recording of a live session from a Dutch radio programme (http://www.2metersessies.nl) which runs…

2 Sides of Yes by Rick Wakeman In case you didn’t know, Rick Wakeman was once the keyboard player for 70’s prog band Yes. The wizard of the keys. The bearded wonder of twiddle. A very talented musician. Sadly tainted by religious fervor and self important attitude. As a big fan of Yes, it makes…

….the Last Embrace by Arcana Ok, so before the pedants start, J River Music Center orders punctuation before numbers and the letter A. Anyway. Arcana is one of those bands I heard once and thought “Oh that’s a good tune, I’ll download their back catalogue because surely all their other stuff must be the same quality”.…

I’ve moaned about this for long enough. I think I’ve complained about it every year without fail. Those that know me will remember I’m a stickler for tradition and I loathe breaking from it. So this year will not be any different. I am one of the many people who are unlucky enough to have…

I’ve noticed there are several types of people that use help desks. 1. The Finger Post Gazers – Thems the type that come to the desk wanting something that’s right under their noses. Often unable to see beyond their personal space. They see assistants purely as a finger post User – Can you tell me…

Hi Just thought you should know that on your wifi service when accessing flipboard on iPads users are presented with the welcome screen of your wifi service even when already logged in. Chiltern trains don’t have this problem with theirs. Then again, chiltern are able to offer free wifi. I guess I should just save…

Tomorrow history is made. Not something like the creation of a cure for a terminal disease. Nor (hopefully) some catastrophic event where millions of lives are snuffed out in a moment. Nor is it something like finding a teaspoon on Mars. No. Tomorrow the British public elect regional Police and Crime Commissioners. What’s that? You…
