    So I'm not exactly sure what's meant to be written in these journal articles, and I doubt anyone will actually read it anyway, but I didn't like this page being empty so here you go.

    First I'd like to give a heads up to Songbird, for those of you who haven't heard of it, Songbird is a media player for the web. It is built on the Firefox engine, so is amazing at browsing the internet, but also handles all music files. I use it for my music collection, it is far nicer than iTunes. Also whenever it finds a music file embedded on a page it can play it directly or give you a link to download, this has made discovering new music sooooo much easier (and more fun).

    Anyway, enough fanboyism, let me also say how much I'm loving Nick Cave (& the Bad Seeds) at the moment, and how his score (with Warren Ellis) on The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

    .........So everyone seems to be hating the new Last.fm layout, I actually quite like it, but what do I know.

    So long.
