Weekly Playlist

Friday again already, so another playlist for your listening…umm…pleasure? Some fun songs here – doing it the Youtube way means I can pick out live versions where possible, so you get some pretty shoddy recording, but a nicer feel. Also, who knew David Byrne covered The Man Who Loved Beer? Not I, but it’s a pretty faithful rendition if you want to find it on the ‘Tube.

Cow – Sparklehorse
Missing Children – Teddy Thompson
Siren Song – Bat for Lashes
Live With Me – The Rolling Stones
Everything Means Nothing to Me – Elliott Smith
The Man Who Loved Beer – Lambchop
Dress Like Your Mother – Sleeper
Opus of Regret – Chrome Hoof
Loser – Beck
10:1 – Rogue Wave

 

Daily Panorama Noah’s Yard in HD

Okay, it’s not HD, but it this was done on an iPhone 4GS. Someone else’s iPhone 4GS with a nice clean unscratched camera.

This was photographed in the back room downstairs in Noah’s Yard, Swansea. It was a great sunny evening – if a little cold – and the little uns wanted an ‘adventure’. The concept of visiting a pub to one of our little uns is possibly the most exciting (and adult) thing in the world to do. I don’t know how we feels about wine bars, but I was reluctant to tell him that he’d been short changed slightly.

Whatever, he had a real lemonade and lovely time smashing hitting the keys on the old typewriter. The smaller nipper loved the cwtch seat and her juice. The wife had a ginger beer.

And me? Peroni… mmmmm.

 

Daily Panorama Ducks, Ducklings and a Vertical Panorama of Sorts

It’s probably not my place to say, but I really like this, probably because it’s different to all the other PhotoSyntharamas I’ve done.

It all began with some totally loveable ducklings which we were recommended by a family member yo not feed as we would ‘destroy the balance of nature’. These were ducklings in a theme park I might add.

So, following feeding, the ducklings returned to their mother and the balance was restored. They all then snuggled (read ‘cwtched’) up cosy like and I began my panorama. I didn’t originally intend a vertical pano, but it worked out that way.

View it in all freakiness here:

Trapped in the closet…

And on a separate note…how have I never seen this before?

Trapped in the Closet

It’s possibly the most amazing thing set to video. R Kelly is some kind of crazyInsane genius (or I’m completely insane for thinking so). Too long to watch at work, but I recommend a viewing at home over the weekend. Just…brilliant.

Weekly Playlist

Apologies for the lack of a playlist last week; Easter got in the way. I got half-way through an egg-themed special on Thursday but too many meetings meant no time to finish. So is this week’s playlist super especially double good to make up for it? Um…no. But, I am trying out a new playlist method. Playlistify was getting annoying, so I’m going for the manual method of creating a YouTube playlist. Not sure quite how it’s going to work, but I’ll give it a go and see. Let me know if it’s better or worse.
