A New Summer Mix – This One’s A Bit of A Banger

by Iain on August 29, 2008

Chaos on My Desk

by Iain on August 28, 2008

I got in this morning and the cleaners had spilled some coffee/glue hybrid on my desk. It had gone all the way under a box file that I use to keep all my USB gadgets out of the way: It (…)

An Amazing Animated Gif Video

by Iain on August 22, 2008

I love this completely and utterly. The track is amazing and the video is wonderfully simple… It’s Butterfingers by Bomb the Bass (featuring Fujiya & Miyagi). There’s a high quality quicktime version here with much better audio. Obligatory buttons:
