fantastic music tv

i don’t normally do telly reviews – so excuse my attempt !

if you’re interested in live music and love jools holland-type showsthen check out From The Basement on SkyArts. I know i work for the company that broadcasts this, but i don’t do anything with telly things, so i think i’m being impartial.   You can watch lots of clips on you tube here.   i think it’s rather special.

Whilst i’m mentioning TV i can tell you i also watch My Name Is Earl, The Mighty Boosh and Flight of The Conchord.  and not much else really.

that’s the trailers over with.  now, back to the blog …

toast bar

regular readers will know i love signs like these which show the food looking proud to be eaten.  this ‘toast-bar’ also serves chips, as seen here.

i initially read the sign as ‘retro-snack’.  toast would make a good retro snack

pew surfing

it’s the craze that’ll have ’em flocking back to church.  it’s pew surfing, as demonstrated by our church warden. he’s seen the light.  have you ?

this is one of my favourite photos from my trip to poland in september.  slightly tinkered with to get the retro colours, but it sums up all that is great about modern life.

found passport photo

i can’t explain the buzz i get when i find an actual lost passport-sized photo in the street.  it is quite marvellous.  especially if it’s face down and you have to turn it over to reveal whether it’s a real one or not.
