Found this excellent .mp3 blog called Shoegazer Alive 2 that has tons of great classic shoegazer bands ready for you to download. There’s numerous hidden gems from the early to mid 90s that you probably missed the first time around. Even I found a few bands I’d never heard of! And that’s hard for me. Not sure of the legality but most of the bands are no longer around and the vast majority are from small indie labels and no longer in print. Enjoy…
So I’m sitting here on a Saturday night realizing it’s been just under a month since my last update. I guess it would be threadbare to say I’ve been busy but, as boring as that sounds, it’s mostly true. Sorry to disappoint.
A lot has happened in the last 4 weeks but here are few highlights:
Yep that’s right! It was announced late last year yet those of us who’ve been fans since the early 90s had many reasons to be suspicious. But they just played 2 warm-up gig’s at the London ICA Friday and Saturday night for their string of shows next week at the Roundhouse. Here’s a review from NME. And a Flickr set I found from Friday night’s gig. They’ll be coming to the states in the Fall. This all makes me very happy!
Got a call today from my friend Peter at Music 6000 saying they just got one of the Classic Player Jag’s. So I headed down there after work to take it for a spin. And…
I’ve been pretty busy since my last update 10 days ago. Finished the first wave of projects for Allied, started learning ASP.net, took Iris for a few bike rides, and a bunch of other stuff that’s probably too boring to write about. So the long and short of it is… I’ve been taking care of business.
Starting on another wave of projects for Allied. I checked out 2 books form the library about working with MS Exchange. The big one is called “Exchange Server 2003 Unleashed.” It’s crazy huge… over 1000 pages. Pretty much everything I need to know is in the book and stuff that isn’t is just a Google search away. Strangely looking forward to mastering these MS enterprise products as it will look good on the ol’ resume.
I’ll also be revamping Allied’s web site, which is going to keep me busy the next week to two weeks! More on this later…
Now I’ll finally be able to pay off my Jazzmaster!
