The Case Of The Cross-Dressing Carp

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

To help CSI fans that have not yet seen episode 4 of season 8, I have cunningly disguised the plot point in the following sentence:
Sil asked Gara to marry him! First place I went for commentary? GSR of course, and they delivered - with a clip and everything. Though, they don’t really answer the question [...]

The General Concern Society

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

I was browsing through my home directory on our much abused torrentmachine when I discovered a track of my own creating, from some time in the past. Entitled “A Letter To My MP”, from what I recall it’s creation was prompted by three things: Mr Stanyer and my feeling that “The General Concern Society” was [...]

Grissom Stole My Bees

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Almost a throw back episode from CSI this week, with some of that creepiness that the first season was good at, a fair amount of screen time for all the characters, and solving the crime by looking at the evidence (in a forensics show, who’d have thought) - despite the fact that it didn’t really [...]

Big Fun in the Big Town

The Kembata Alba (no relation to the actress) and Tembar Zone collaboration was widely anticipated in the world music community.

Sara Takes Car Pooling Too Far

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

It has begun! I almost missed the first episode of CSI series eight, due to not having watched five and hence failing to be informed about the start date, but the new season got off to a cracking start by, er, finishing up the old season. I was going to post a little bit about [...]

Booooty

I just happened to stumble on the 2007 Best of Booty - haven’t actually finished downloading it yet, but based on previous years I’m sure it will be top notch mashy goodness. El Nim points out that this year it’s continuously mixed, in the popular DJ style.

2007 Minimix

Friday, January 4th, 2008

To round out the new year period, a few poorly mixed minutes of some hip hop tracks that banged last year - with plenty of notable absences - Brother Ali, Turf Talk and UGK aren’t in there for example, despite being great, primarily because I didn’t have them to hand when I decided to do [...]
