The Australian Pink Floyd Show
I took Claire, Ruth and JTA to see The Australian Pink Floyd Show at the Cardiff International Arena last night. Claire and I had seen them before, back in 2005, and they were as fabulous as ever: I maintain that this tribute band is the only one I've ever seen that, at times, can be …

John Melton On The Piano
...John Melton plays the piano and grins a lot. Don't let him know that you've realised he's just pressed the "demo" button.

Boys On Hills
Helen pointed out [facebook link] that this photo looked like an advertisement for a new boy band.
Now it does even more.

Meatloaf, QParty, And The Competition
It's been a busy weekend. Friday saw me travelling by train to Preston, with Faye, my honorary girlfriend for the weekend (Claire had exams on Friday and Saturday morning and sadly had to leave the position vacant). Then, no sooner had we arrived (owing to a missed connection at Wolverhampton) we had to dash to …

The Independent Scrutineer
Today I have mostly been listening to The Independent Scrutineer, Pagan Wanderer Lu's new EP. It's very highly recommendable, and well worth the fiver I paid for it.
Unlike his previous releases, The Independent Scrutineer comes on a properly pressed CD (rather than a CD-R) and in a shiny jewel case with full-colour printing, … -
The Scat Men
Don't usually go in for these memes, but this one was too funny not to publish.

Catch-Up: Concerts
Yes, it's true, I'm bad at blogging. But as we all know, weblogs suck anyway. Regardless: here's the long-awaited catchup of my whereabouts and doings of the last week (as all I'd previously said is that I'd left and that I'd got back again.
Claire and I went to Preston a week last Thursday evening, for … -
Claire’s Birthday, and Preston
Well, Claire and I are in Preston. We travelled up here last night (after a few false starts, including getting to Mach before realising we'd left the Green Day tickets blu-tacked to the wall "so we don't forget them" in Aber and having to turn back). Claire's been made out to be a bookworm again, …

Some Pictures From My Phone
Some pictures I just extracted from my phone:
ASSA are branching out. Not just (experi)mental music, they do locks, too!
This sticker was found in the ladies toilets underneath the library on Llanbadarn Campus. I think it might be a little out of date... look at the phone number!
Paul & his dragon. I'm not sure whether or … -
Build Library Here (Or Else!)
This last few days, Claire and I have been listening to a hell of a lot of the new Pagan Wanderer Lu album, Build Library Here (Or Else!). And it's such an impressive album that I've decided to write a little about it here, in the hope that some of you who've never heard of …

Pagan Wanderer Lu
What a great gig last night. Amazing. Will say more in the morning, but suffice to say that Mr. Wanderer Lu was well on-form (apart from a slight lyrics hiccup in a new song I particularly liked): drew a great crowd too. Now... time for bed.
Pagan Wander Lu reports that this was his … -
Tsunami Relief Concert
On Saturday night, Claire and I went to the Tsunami Relief concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which was pretty fab. We arrived at about 3:15pm, just as things were starting to kick off - on one of the many park and ride services being operated especially for the event. The buses and their …
