  • Lost?

    DUDE! The eyepatch man is back! He’s alive… after getting wiped the heck out by the sonic fence!

    So how come the smoke monster couldn’t go over the top of the sonic fence like Kate, Jack, Locke and Sawyer did? How come Kate, Jack, Locke and Sawyer could even go over the sonic fence? Wouldn’t the designers have a tiny clue about the little gap between the booms? All that tech and they leave a hole that big and that simple? Huh?

  • Easter pics of the kids

    Sisters 004I took Cara and Amelia to Greenfield park the week before easter for photos. I think they turned out ok, Sisters 003considering the low light and the fact that I had to scan the photos in. I played around with different effects in photshop also; I’m not too sure about how that worked but I’ll let the public decide. It was difficult managing a four year old and a one year old into position for a portrait style shot, I don’t know how the professional photographers do it – I was certainly Sisters 001about to lose my mind after five minutes. I finally just let the little Sisters 002one do what she wanted while I waited for her to accidentally be in the right position. This technique does not work. Trust me. After about an hour (twenty minutes of which I spent shooting with no film in the camera – aargh!) I finally felt like I had some decent enough shots and twice as many bug bites, so we got on out of there until next year. Stay tuned, more to come as I get them scanned in, cropped and adjusted.

    UPDATE: New Easter Pics in the gallery. Much better ones this time.

  • Negative Sound Institute

    PseudoSoft mellow sounds compliment ambient guitar. I’m not usually a fan of ambient music but this has a feel to it that’s catchy and ominous. A perfect release to fall asleep to.

  • Bergen – Spring Interval EP

    BergenAwesome techno, popping beats with smooth synths. This set of tracks really has a ‘snap’ to it, this is the best find in quite a while. Sort of a loungy, housey feel, if you need something to pick you up then throw this in the mp3 player.

  • Obsibilo – Movie on the Moon – subnet014

    Obsiblio - Movie on the MoonJazzy electro music. The vibe set up by this release will have you mellowed out and tapping your toes. Snappy and smooth at the same time. Great release, great netlabel as well. Excellent basslines by this artist also.

  • Terribly interesting web show

    Afterworld – a web based show about a guy who wakes up all alone… literally. Where did everyone go? An interesting style of animation, with a narrated storyline. Real interesting stuff here.

  • The Sanjaya Conspiracy

    SanjesqeletoA picture is worth a thousand words.

  • Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

    EBSPlease bear with me, if the site looks strange (well it definitely looks strange in Internet Explorer anyway). I’m in the process of developing my own theme for the site, so there will be some ‘technical difficulties’ for a few days. Please stand by. Had this been a real emergency… etc.

  • Hamsa Lila

    Hamsa LilaIs Hamsa Lila Trance? Or Rock? Or World? A little of all three, an acoustic band that does some jazzy trance numbers that will take you somewhere in between the earth and clouds. Ethnic instruments combine with modern dance beats and wonderfully smooth vocals that speak to that mysterious part of your mind that likes to adventure to exotic locations while you’re asleep. Give that bit of your brain what it wants – it wants some Hamsa Lila.
