Apologies for the length of time between posts. It's moving house that does it you see. And children. And a hectic work environment. And the amount of paperwork that you have to do these days.
You see you used to pay someone some money for something and expect a service you could rely on precisely because you paid some of your hard-earned cash for this privilege. I'm not talking that long ago either.
Yes there were charlatans, idiots and downright con-artists out there pretending to sell a service and actually merely grabbing you by the short and curlies and giving you a sort of financial wedgie. But you needed to be unlucky to encounter one of these black market types.
Nowadays I can't tell a good'un from a bad'un I'm drowning in so much legal paraphernalia. The last 30 years of a US-led litigation frenzy means that no-one is prepared to go the extra mile for you. Or at least not without an armful of legal 'get out of jail free' clauses. In fact, you have to go an extra mile for them!
Even the apparently simple task of installing a bit of software so that you can listen to something on your computer involves signing up to 1001 clauses that you don't, nae can't, read because life is too goddamn short.
Anyhow, I've moved 1.8 miles down the road (I measured it using the car's odometer) and the above is a sort of apology for not keeping in touch.
Which all leads me rather oddly to Tom and Col's 2BillionBeats project and a nice little mix that they've put together that you should all listen to (if you're not drowning in too much paperwork....)
