In the fine tradition of Scribbler’s before I’m 30, Noscenes’s before I’m 45 and the Wallet’s 30 things to do before KG is 30 I’ve decided to set myself a list of forty goals to complete before I hit the age of forty years old, which is in a mere 2136 days time
You can view the goals on the 40-things page, and follow my progress in this blog using the 40 things tag. I shall be providing the first update in about a months time. So let’s see how well I do and how long I keep this one going for.
Another music monday, but to give you a break from C64 music this week I’ve picked Motiv8′s remix of Listen To The Music from The Doobie Brothers. The track was was remix by Steve (Motiv8) Rodway in 1994 and I’ve adored the track ever since, check out that bass.
It’s back on schedule again. I must admit I rule
I’ll do some proper blogging soon, maybe.
Music Monday! It’s a new feature for this blog, and it’s one of those that are so easy to post that they practically write themselves. Look forward to these every Monday (possibly).
It’s the always amazing and supremely talented Reyn Ouwehand playing a tune he wrote for a Commodore 64 game back in 1990 called Flimbo’s Quest on an old Optigan organ.
Look it’s the weekend links, and this week they are on time!
Here is a great video of C64 super group 6581 performing The Last Ninja 2 at last years Back in Time Live Stockholm 2008. 6581 are the amazing Reyn Ouwehand, Eike “Romeo Knight” Steffen, Anders Larsson, and Andreas Wallström of C64.com.
Weekend links are so… last week.
Recently, outside work and my real life, I’ve been trying to catch up with my outstanding items. These come in three favours email, RSS feeds and podcasts. In the last few days I’ve managed to get both my email and RSS items down into single figures. The podcasts have been a different story, I had subscribed to so many podcasts, that I had hundreds of episodes to listen before I could catch up. So I’ve took drastic action and severely reduced my subscription to podcasts.
Here are five of my favourite Podcasts that I still subscribe to.
The show that started it all, this is the podcast that introduced me to the world of podcasting. Produced and Hosted by Jan Lund Thomsen, the brains behind remix.kwed.org. It’s a semi-regularly (with the emphasis on the semi) dispensed dose of music from and inspired by the Commodore 64.
This is a recent discovery. Presented by Marty (That Bloke) and Jen (the Token Female), it’s all about Film, TV, Sci-Fi, the world, and generally anything geeky. Interesting, challenging, charming and fun are just a few of the words I would use to describe this podcast. It’s has become a must listen for me.
It also as a community of regular contributors, and even I sent in some feedback.
From regular Box Room contributors David and Brandi comes the InsideOutcast (which is an awesome name) this talks about Muppets, Nerds, Goths, Spies, growing up in Utah, death on Sesame Street, and lots of the other stuff. Sometime very personal always very funny.
A Karate podcast, primary dealing with the practical application of Kata, but other touches on other subject such as martial art history and goal setting.
Not really a podcast, but a chance to download shows from Slay Radio that I have missed or ones I just want to hear again.
I listen to a few more podcasts than those listed above, but they are on similar theme to what has already been mentioned. I may cover these others in future when I get my outstanding listen down to a manageable level and start subscribing to new podcasts again.
Yes, the weekend links are so very late again, but I’ve thrown in some really great links to make up for it.
Brillant! Aqua, one of my favourite guilty pleasures is back. Singing about the 80s and name checking the C64, what more could you want.
