Target Aquired.

Posted in Life, Literature, Web on April 29th, 2009 by Charlie

I just checked the statistic’s on the traffic my site is receiving, and I’ve hit my target of over 400 unique hits this month.
I’m pretty happy about that. Hopefully I’ll double that by Christmas.

In A Market Dimly Lit…

Posted in Life, Literature, Music on April 23rd, 2009 by Charlie

I thought I’d do a quick update, it’s a bit musical since I’ve been waiting for a few albums some of which have ended up being leaked, which isn’t great – but at least I can hear them now.

First mewithoutYou’s new album “It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All A Dream! It’s Alright.”
It’s very different from both of their other releases, and I was pleasantly surprised. It left me wondering what some of the band members were doing on some tracks, and if it’d be less exciting to see this album live. However the fact that every track tells it’s own little story is really nice, and it appeals to my love for concept albums.

Trophy Scars have also recently released a new album called “Bad Luck”, unfortunately it was also leaked, bad luck – shit pun intended.
When I first heard the song “Anna Lucia” I genuinely thought that it was based on the back story of Anna Lucia from LOST. If you are a fan of lost, you’ll probably get where I am coming from with that.

I’m also waiting for the new Billy Talent album “III”
The track below is written by Billy Talent and preformed with Anti-Flag. I’m pretty impressed and it’s got me really excited for the album.

Coincidentally I am also waiting for “III” by Maylene and the sons of disaster. I’ve not heard any of the material of their new album, but I really want to.

Comic Sans

Posted in Life, Literature, Web on April 18th, 2009 by Charlie

“If you love it, you don’t know much about typography, if you hate it, you really don’t know much about typography, either, and you should get another hobby.”
Vincent Connare – Designer of comic sans
Wallstreetjournal

I hate comic sans so much. It stands alongside “Chiller” and “Jokerman” as possibly the worst font ever.
