#4: Secret Machines - Ten Silver Drops
Mention the word ‘prog’ to a roomful of a hundred music fans, and most will be scrambling for the exit (though anyone who wanted to lecture such fans about the power of progressive music is likely to have locked the door well before opening their mouths). In all honesty, though, the genre has not enjoyed the best reputation, despite bands such as Flaming Lips, The Mars Volta and even Elbow...

#5: Feeder - Comfort In Sound
Author’s note: This is the first post in an extremely unoriginal series documenting the five albums that I love the most. Not the best five albums. Not the five albums that changed the world. My favourites ones. They are not intended as reviews in the strictest sense, but are commentaries on what these records mean to me and how I relate to them. Bear with me while I get back into writing...
Radiohead - Live in Prague, Sunday 23rd August...
Until last weekend, Radiohead had never played Prague before, perhaps unsurprising given the band’s penchant for eschewing larger venues in favour of the lesser known outposts of Europe (last years’s gig in the amphitheatre of Nimes being one excellent example). Whilst cynics may consider the current European tour dates as little more than an extended warm up for Leeds and Reading...
Radiohead in Prague 22nd August 2009 - Setlist
Whilst a full review of the gig is currently in preparation, I’m keen to at least get the setlist up. It certainly had a few surprises - for every track that didn’t get an airing (no Paranoid Android, no Karma Police) there were a few gems thrown in (A Wolf at the Door, (Nice Dream)) that meant the gig kept the newer fans happy whilst appealing to those who have been following the...
Boy do we need Bell to come up with something here. #Ashes
Am sorely tempted to study a Maths course. English and Music is in my heart, but Maths has always had my brain. Any course recommendations?
At some point today I’ll actually collect and update my todo list with the things I need to. Until then I’ll just floundering around.

20th August? How can possibly be 20th August? Yesterday it was June!
I don’t want to, but i do quite like the boy stitching together the photos in the Windows advert.
New bus contains four pushchairs, complete with four screaming children. Maybe I should start getting taxis!
Bus appears to have broken down. Lovely.

It’s alright Ipswich. One point from three games is fine. It’s not as if we should be challenging for the play-offs or anything like that.
Barely awake. Head dropping on the bus at every opportunity. Really must get to sleep earlier than midnight on a school night.
Productive day so far. If I carry on like this I might not have to work tonight, and can go for a run instead!
Writing a set of ‘Who Wants To be A Millionaire’-style questions about the system I’m supporting. Quite fun for a Tuesday afternoon
Keep forgetting that on Friday I find out whether I’m promoted or not. My subsconscious must be blanking it out.

Decided to get a #Tumblr account. I feel I’m geeky enough to have a blog, but not techy enough to have try to maintain it. Watch this space!
For the two or three people who may be interested. Contains one short blog entry and one dodgy photo. More soon http://therajman.tumblr.com/
What's in a name?
e·phem·er·al
(-fmr-l)
adj. 1. Lasting for a markedly brief time: “There remain some truths too ephemeral to be captured in the cold pages of a court transcript” (Irving R. Kaufman).
“The winged words on which my soul would pierce
Into the heights of Love’s rare Universe,
Are chains of lead around its flight of fire —
I pant, I sink, I tremble, I expire!”...
