The one featured in the picture is the Elegoxa Ellotronix – a “VST plugin which emulates the famous Robert Fripp’s effect called “Frippertronics”: two Revox B-77 making...
Rod McPhee: Big Brother’s identity crisis – Jayne Dawson – Yorkshire Evening Post. Classic review of the new series of Big Brother on UK Channel 5… “She doesn’t much care where she is these days either.

Ok, so this is a blog about my music-making activities and music technology, but I couldn’t resist posting this little snippet that I saw on the BBC News website: Despite the riots definitely not being very funny at all, the link made me smile. I thought “Why is David Cameron thinking about fashion at a...
I don’t know why I missed it. I’m usually on the ball about remakes/rehashes of my favourite films.
