I don't watch The Late Late that often, but I'm glad I watched it last night. Beardyman is truly incredible.

Beardyman is an amazing beatboxer, so if you like music you will love him!

Here's a video of him doing his thing in a supermarket:

I'm not sure if the Muppets' version of Bohemian Rhapsody would win any awards, but it is damn funny:



More Muppet madness over on their YouTube channel

Happy Birthday Madonna

Today is Madonna's birthday. I don't keep track of these things, but the Brittanica daily newsletter told me - honest!

What's truly amazing about the woman is that not only is today her birthday, but she's actually celebrating her 50th birthday!
When I was a teenager Madonna was one of the hottest stars on the planet. The crazy thing is that she's still out there pumping out new albums and hits - more than 20 years later.

When I was 14 years old I think I had a crush on her, or maybe it wasn't a crush. I honestly don't know. I got to see her live in concert in Roundhay Park in Leeds. Over 20 years later and I still remember it as being one of the best live gigs that I've ever been to.

A typical portable desktop cassette recorder f...

Between my mother moving house and my grandfather's passing I've been forced to go around the country collecting possessions. In amongst the Spanish and French literature I found a few boxes of cassettes, but of course I don't have anything to play them with....

So what tape deck should I get?

I've also recuperated my vinyl collection, but again I've nothing to play them with.

Play With Last.fm

Bookmark and Share

Last.fm's team have made available a couple of web applications that they put together in their spare time.

The "Playground" currently has three applications which take advantage of the huge amount of music data that last.fm aggregates.

You probably won't improve your life much with any of these little apps, but they are fun to play with.

Checking the typos of artists names can be a great way to while away the time, but you could also use the info for seo.

Of course if you wanted to manipulate the data yourself they do offer both data feeds and a full API (though there are licensing conditions to be aware of). For the top artists for users in Ireland try this XML feed

Music To Spring Clean To

Bookmark and Share

This weekend I have to do some serious spring cleaning of the house.

While I am not a "filthy beast" I am definitely not the tidiest of people (understatement!).

I'm going to pop some Lords of Acid into the CD player in a minute and see if I can get started on bringing some order to the chaos

Trip Down Memory Lane - Ella Baila Sola

Bookmark and Share
By Michele Neylon on December 27, 2007 11:14 PM

When I was in Spain in the late 90s one of the female groups that was getting a lot of airplay at the time was Ella Baila Sola. I got to see them in concert (for free) in Madrid during the summer of 1997.

For some odd reason one of their songs has been in my head for the last couple of days, but I couldn't remember the lyrics or the group's name. Trying to work out who it was and what they were called was a bit of a challenge!



The lyrics helped me to improve my Spanish at the time. I think my girlfriend at the time had given me a tape of one of their albums, but that was probably stolen along with all my other tapes a few years later (long boring story!)
