My Week In Links #4



Hooray, this week Please Get Off The Internet reaches it's one month anniversary and to celebrate, this week will involve more nonsensical quotes and less actual information about my online browsing habits.

This week I:

- Am very excited about new records from Rolo Tomassi and Kayo Dot in 2010, I thought Blue Lambency Downwards was good but still a bit sketchy in places, previously if an artist said a segment of music wouldn't make sense out of context I'd probably think they were being pretentious but with Kayo Dot such a statement makes perfect sense. Rolo Tomassi's Vice London show looks like it'll be a blast come December.

- Debunked the top ten myths according to Listverse, I actually feel a bit annoyed by the Darwin one since that's something I should probably have known all along.

- Am looking at the stars. They are so far away, and their light takes so long to reach us. All we ever see of stars is their old photographs.

- Had a listen to the BRNLV 10 mixtape which has some big contenders when it comes to picking albums of the year personally I think that Mount Eerie record is HUGE.

- Read a courageous/insane attempt at writing 100 poems in one day.

- Developed my collection of apps with additions from lifehackers 61 free apps they're most thankful for. Everything in particular was useful for providing lightning quick searches for missing files and Pidgin provides a neat cross platform IM alternative for msn aside from it's unfortunate lack of webcam support but who uses those anyway?

This entry was brought to you by the letter F for Faux Pas, who has very kindly put his latest single the seriously cosmic 'Silver Line' up for download over on his blog. It reminds a little of latter day Air but with whimsical chill out elements replaced with shimmering synthesizers and reinforced with throbbing bass set to stun.
