The big World Cup debate

I always quite look forward to the World Cup, but when it actually comes along I usually don’t pay as much attention to it as I expected. But on the 31st of May 2006, I can say that I am looking forward to the World Cup. Of course, here in Scotland the big debate is: […]

‘Crazy’ deleted; time to buy the album instead?

According to this article on Digital Spy, Gnarls Barkley’s irrepresible record-breaking single, Crazy, has been deleted because they are fed up with it. I can understand what they mean. There can’t be a single person in the country who hasn’t heard this song now. I guess when a single has been at number 1 for […]

2006 Monaco Grand Prix

Well, that turned out to be not a bad race! Yesterday’s Schumacher incident provided an interesting talking point to frame the race in, and the race did threaten to become a procession at one point. In a way, it still was a procession, as Alonso led the race practically from start to finish. But what […]

Boards of Canada — Trans Canada Highway

I was probably a bit too harsh when I reviewed ‘The Campfire Headphase‘ last year. Although I feel like it was a disappointing album, I still listened to it quite a lot. However, I still derive more satisfaction from listening to ‘Geogaddi‘. Anyway, the question was, could Boards of Canada redeem themselves with their new […]

A black day for F1? I think not

A strange article has appeared on Pitpass this evening. Pitpass does often like to emphasise how Formula 1 is always shooting itself in the foot, and often it has a point. But I just don’t understand this article. “A black day for Formula One”? Well it’s been interesting to say the least, but I’d hardly […]

Malcom Kipe — Lit

I already wrote about this album on my Last.fm journal a while back, but I’m really getting into this album at the moment, so I thought I’d write a post about it here as well. Do you, like me, get it when an album really reminds you of the summer just because of the time […]

Cheating Ferrari strike again

Michael Schumacher — not brave enough to let anybody else get a lap in. And of course, because it’s Ferrari, the authorities will turn a blind eye. Update: “Schumacher takes ignominious pole.” Schumacher Takes Controversial Monaco Pole: Schumacher has been guilty of these sort of tactics in the past, and his demeanour in the press […]

This blog as a graph

Ever wondered what this blog would look like as a graph? What do you mean ‘no’?! Anyway, this nifty little website does it for you. I do like these kind of things. Kind of pointless but not, and quite pretty anyway. This page explains what it all means. Grey is everything else apparently, so I […]

Countdown to PS2’s Formula One 06

I know that for most gamers, playing a Formula 1 game is about as fun as having your balls scraped against a gravestone. But, being a bit of an F1 fan, I do rather enjoy them, and it’s at around about this time of year when I start to look forward to the annual release. […]
