Be happy

Chin up guys! He’s in a better place.
This song will make you grin from Ear-2-Ear, like Boyz-2-Men if they lived on either side of your head.
Thanks Sidechains, thanks Booty Love (check out Diamond Cut’s remix of the same track) whoever yo clichéd ass is and thanks MJ.
Go dance the night away. It’s what he would [...]

The More That The Field Does

Well, I’m blogging while sitting in a lecture on the Law of Trusts. Welcome to the connected generation.
The Field’s (or Alex Wilner’s) ‘From Here We Go Sublime’ was without doubt one of my albums of 2007. Kinda odd choice really, as up until that point I’d eschewed minimal like the plague, but there was something [...]

Potential Wife of the Week: Ellie Goulding

[with apologies to Lykke. You've been supplanted. For the moment.]

Typing to get away from sharks, typing to race cars, typing to shoot cans. typing against the clock. But always typing against yourself.
But allow [...]

Serious Music for Silly People

A couple of months ago I had a realisation: Hypem.com no long catered for my taste in electronic music. I’d known the day was coming for a while, but I didn’t want to admit it; I’d imagined it to be akin to finding out your girlfriend was cheating on you, or discovering your cat had [...]

Et Justus Pout Tous

I was reading the new Malcom Gladwell book, Outliers, recently. It’s about how environmental factors play an important part in the success of people we commonly refer to as geniuses… whilst it hardly discredits the talents of Billy Gates et al, it’s an interesting read that suggests that the unbelievable achievements of some are perhaps [...]
