Blogging

I haven't used this thing for quite a while. I doubt very much anyone will want to read this, but I'm going to start using it as writing practice. So if this is all incredibly boring, don't be surprised, think of it as training in progress.

Some things I'm going to try to avoid:

Links to YouTube videos (unless I upload them)
You know how to use YouTube. You can look for your own clips I'm sure. (I wonder how long this resolution will last...)

Links to Wikipedia.
It can't be trusted... and it's just so easy. Journalists (even wannabe ones) shouldn't use it.

Some things I'm going to try for:

Links to DJ mixes, like these two from Andrew Weatherall, which have been aiding my Tube and bus journeys around London for the last couple of months...
Err... that's about it for now. I need to get working on the next Sidewalk article. So far I have a couple of rough ideas, one is a tabloid type thing, and a one is a guide to starting a band, a kind of indie Encyclopaedia crossed with the KLF "How to have a No.1" book. Deadline is next week... wish me luck.

I've also finally finished some business cards. They have UV overgloss bits and everything. Website revamp up next.
