The Life Pursuit is Belle and Sebastian’s eighth album (counting the faux-soundtrack, Storytelling and last year’s single’s and b-sides collection). It’s amazing to note how prolific they’ve been yet they’re still fairly underrated by the mainstreem. You’re more likely to hear their singles on Radio 2 than 1 and they do make some fairly odd [...]

Something is slowing down my homepage. Could be the flickr feed, could be the del.icio.us links, could be the amount of entries pulled through by title (though i doubt it). I’ll look into it when i get a minute but for now please accept my apologies if you had to wait a long time to [...]

Preston to win! (plasticbag.org) has my full agreement. I also hope that the latest celebrity BB raises the profile of The Ordinary Boys, a truely great band in the making.

A new GuyWeb is being developed between my freelance work. I have stylesheets done, I have HTML done and I even have 80% of a design done. I will be tying these together soon and GuyWeb will return.

This is so true: Elbow Etiquette. I’m often in the cinema with Shay and we share an armrest but there’s usually some bloke on the otherside thieving the entire armrest. But it’s rare the arm stays there for the duration and when it moves for some popcorn I’m there taking the armrest back. It’s all [...]

Jeremy Keith writes about the nature of how he uses the web. It turns out he uses it in a very similar way to me - for everything. He doesn’t just read sites about web design but he harvests his information from a wide range of places. I suppose I’d imagined that most people used [...]
