I listen to pretty much anything and everything. In fact i would be hard pressed to classify any kind of music if i was asked to
The Buddha Bar Series has got to be in the top 5 of my all time favourites. The Albums are a compilation of songs by artists from all around the world. And they really are from all around the world. The albums are always 2 CD’s One is usually easy lounge accompaniment for say a Dinner while the other is a more peppy, beat-filled disc with songs more suited to foot tapping or even dancing. The albums are compilations by the resident DJ’s which have been Claude Challe, DJ Ravin, David Visan and Sam Popat.
What holds my attention is the sheer variety of music. I definitely can’t fathom the lyrics for most of the songs as My linguistic abilities are limited to 3 languages at best and maybe understanding a smattering of a few others.
The music is captivating, the variety is great and although i hear a few people saying that the music is getting repetitive i personally don’t think so.
For those of you who want to give it a go here’s a few tracks from the series, (links play in last.fm)
Since my mac has been separated from me (temporarily) there’s not much I can do about being online. The saving grace is my iPhone.
And since I already have apps for twitter, gmail, google reader, Flickr and a few other ‘extreme’ necessities on the iPhone I was thinking that wouldn’t it be nice if there was an application which would let me follow my friendfeed stream and something for wordpress which would let me upload stuff to my blog.
And lo behold I found out that there is such a thing as WordPress for the iPhone. I must admit that though I try out a lot of things on the iPhone I did not know about this application and now that I do …. Here’s my first post using WordPress for the iPhone .
It’s not bad and gives you options to manage your pages, posts and comments and also has options for multiple blogs.
I am still playing around with it and will update if I find something interesting or if I don’t.
Update : tried to insert a link and couldn’t find any way to easily do it and I started clumsily typing in the HTML tags and suddenly up pops a dialogue box asking me if I want to create a link and feeling like a dunce who has just been caught out trying to do something simple in a complex way I say yes and then I am asked to enter the text for the link and the link address and it automatically puts in the complete HTML for the link.
Sweet … but how do I bring up the dialogue box without having to go through the motions of having to almost type out the beginnings of a link.
Update 2 :Also It Would be nice if there is an option to automatically select and enter a few standard HTML tags such as lists, links, images etc.
Just caught this AD on the telly and I think its brilliant. Some ad’s are brilliant while some are utter crap and then again some have the power to leave you speechless.
Why can’t we have more ad’s which are like this one.
Its brilliantly executed, gets the point across, doesn’t mince on words, and politely but powerfully makes a point.
