System of a Down – Mesmerize
Going to see them again in June at the Arena in Manchester and as one of my favourites it's no surprise I bought the latest album which is turning out to be a good listen.
Also bought Hell Is For Heroes – Models for the Program for Kate's jukebox on 7"

2 more cds
May 12, 2005 by Daniel
Weezer – Make Believe
Nine Inch Nails – [With Teeth]Have had a good listen to the prerelease of the new Gorillaz album now and quite liking it. Although it doesn't grab me the way the first album did. That album really set me off on a musical path what with the involvement of Dan the Automator, Deltron and so on… Also can't wait for Mesmerize from System of a Down next week.
Am also thinking about getting a Million Dead album, Natalia reccommended 'A Song to Ruin'Category music, Uncategorized | Tags: | No Comments

Another gig..
Kate and her friend Natalia LOVE this band. Kate bought me the ticket, I listened to the CD and thought hey, actually these really are pretty good. The gig was great we were on the front row. Which wasn’t so great as you have to think about things like breathing and such that detracts from just enjoying what’s going on onstage.
The gig was coheadlined by riseagainst who I think my require some further listening and there was a funny austrian punk support band called redlight flash. Sometimes I think English in a German accent is so funny. “Are you all having a nice time?!”As always pictures on flickr. The picture i’ve posted here is by Natalia, Kate’s put some up there also.

Fuse FM
May 5, 2005 by Daniel
My ”day job” had it”s election for the next station manager on tuesday. As production head I was allowed to be involved with the count etc.
Minnie won, she definately had the strongest speech, hence why she”s a good DJ. We”ll see about being a good manager. She does at least have committee level experience which will help her understand how things work, what can be changed easily and what can”t, where our limitations are basically.
The website message board members, well at least one of anyway, are unhappy though. They felt that certain candidates had just brought along as many friends as they could, thereby rigging the vote. All I can say is, they are members of Fuse and get a vote. Not much you can do about it really.So why didn”t I go for it? Well
a) I don”t know what i”m doing next year yet
b) I don”t like that the whole vote is basically on one speech that is given right before the vote (me being a computer geek would kick in and bad public speaking could take over)But it”s a job I would absolutely love, I think I would do a great job of it. I now have 5 years of radio experience, which is more than anybody at fuse could gain during their degree (with exceptions of masters etc. and Tom, John et al who seem to have been there forever).
Martin, the previous manager had whispered to me before Pete got in that I should go for it someday. But it”s a lot of work and I don”t think I could sacrifice my degree for it. Basically I think I would only do a good job of it if it was a sabbatical. If it was a sabbatical (like Student Direct is) then I would treat it as it should be, a proper full time job, not something for my CV or to make sure I stay at uni for longer, I would be doing it because of my love of radio, wanting to be involved and because I think it”s something I”m actually naturally good at.Ah well. Dreams.

Got two for ya
April 30, 2005 by Daniel
Some purchases from Fopp Manchester. I just can't resist that shop it's so yummy, and they don't mess around with 9.99 and so on. The prices are sensible and they don't mess around with you.
Anyway to the purchasesThe Walkmen – Bows & Arrows
Yourcodenameis:Milo – IgnotoI just can't get 'The Rat' by the Walkmen out of my head so had to check out the album to see if they have anything else that can equal it.
The first EP I have from yourcodenameis:milo was excellent so looking forward also to breaking that cd out of it's box and cranking up the stereo.Category music, Uncategorized | Tags: | No Comments

Tom Vek
April 27, 2005 by Daniel
Second gig for the week, Tom Vek at the Night and Day Cafe.
Support from clor which was pretty good.
Tom had some sound problems for most of the first song but came through and was quite mesmerising with the odd exception (the song about being a back seat driver gets a little boring I think after a while).Category music | Tags: | No Comments

Hell Is For Heroes
April 22, 2005 by Daniel
Went to see Hell Is For Heroes tonight. Loved it as always. I was jumping arounbd in the mosh pit without a care in the world apart from to stay upright, not lose my glasses and try to take a couple of pictures without gettting my camera knocked out of my hands.
Kate said I was like a little boy, with the average age of the audience being perhaps a good few years younger I said hey, well at least I was getting a good view…Category music | Tags: | No Comments
