Some recommended things

This weekend I went to Rock The House in Lincolnshire, a benefit concert for a friend of a friend who was injured around 12 months ago. There were a series of great performances from a variety of people, including the boy's father, who played a very emotional folk set. Later on in the evening, I had just a smidgen too much to drink, and fell over a log, splitting my forehead open and requiring 4 stitches and a tetanus jab. So my first recommendation is to not fall over logs.


Some other quick recommendations:

  • Amp Live remixes of In Rainbows. Some great work snapping unusual time signatures back into 4/4 while keeping the original feel. And a great parody of the In Rainbows release on the top of the page.
  • StumbleUpon - nothing to do with logs and alcohol. It just seems to be a good place to find things online to kill time. And for an example of that:
  • Musicovery and Finetune - one or other might turn out to be as good as Pandora, which is no longer available in the UK.
  • A Lego robot that solves Rubik's cubes.
  • And more glibly, Proof that girls are evil - a simple mathematical demonstration.

Edit: Here's a photo of the resulting damage. Might be a few more later when I get hold of a better camera.
