Dawn’s Bird Song Chorus

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

A few weeks ago the digital radio station Oneword hit the headlines when its recording of bird songs became very popular with listeners. We though we must try that too but it turned out that we didn’t have the strength of will to get up before dawn and set up a recorder.

As it happens, I woke up early this morning just in time to grab some chorus. Listening to it perturbs the office cat as she seems to think that either a meal has arrived or there are giant birds in the room. So here it is, turn up the volume and enjoy!

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Patti Plinko and her Boy performed a stunning hour of music at the Forest Cafe in Edinburgh on Friday. I couldn’t resist going along to video them and below is an excerpt from the show. The musical duo will be performing at the Brighton and Edinburgh Fringes this year. They are exceptionally talented and I expect them to hit the top…

Jesus: The Guantánamo Years

I happen to be a regular reader of Time magazine. It’s an acutely topical magazine that gives you everything you want to know about what’s going on out there. Most importantly it’s a manageable read within 7 days before the next load of topical issues hit the stands.

It’s that picture again! Visually stunning and highly topical. In the Arts section “Comedy Terrors” in this week’s magazine, 7th April, the comedian, Abie Philbin Bowman is interviewed. I looked back through our archives and found his 2006 Virtual Flyer and his 2007 Virtual Flyer.

Once you have made the pages of Time magazine, you have made it! Many congratulations indeed!

Cool websites!

Cool Frost Crystals

Who doesn’t like checking out cool websites? Here are a few to chill out with:

The World Factbook is produced by the CIA. It even has a Kid’s page and a Library of information as well! As you can see I have been checking out Japan for the Tokyo Fringe. Talk about great information!

For high quality wildlife videos check out Earth-Touch – this is just spectacular!

The Neon Bible takes a little time to download but well worth it. Play around with the cards and the hands – it’s just great!

BBC iPlayer is a real treat for UK audiences. You can watch missed shows each week on the internet which is all part of the BBC License fee in the UK!

Pacemaker is a relatively new website. It is all about sharing music tastes with each other. As they say “Let’s mix!”

If you find any good sites, do let us know!
