Posted on 16/5/2009 by BigAl

Posted on 8/3/2008 by BigAl

A bit of catch up

Posted on 15/3/2007 by mrBen

It’s been _ages_ since I posted, so I thought I’d better get something online, and probably a few extra things over the next couple of weeks, as I’m guessing that April might be a bit of a dry month, blogwise, … Continue reading →

Prog – Not just about wizards

Posted on 1/12/2006 by BigAl

I gave Edgy a copy of Porcupine Tree’s Deadwing at the weekend, very possibly the best album the Tree have produced yet.  I thought he would appreciate it as it’s not as “out there” as some prog. So he’s on … Continue reading →

Posted on 31/8/2006 by mrBen

Another great invention

Posted on 6/6/2006 by mrBen

Here’s an idea for a killer product: I really liked my Creative mp3 player – one of the best things was the small size, and built-in USB plug. It was a shame it was so small. So I was thinking … Continue reading →
