So my dream places to explore (and indeed the sorts of places I find myself exploring in my dreams) tend to be modernist buildings … concrete and interesting angles and all.
Here’s one such building that I’d like to see preserved rather than demolished!
Have some addicting games!
I’ve long had a love for things that light up in interesting ways, particularly if they’re time pieces too. Reckon it’s the old hippy in my wishing I lived in a word of groovy progressive tunes lit only by coloured oil projector lamps … tempered with something of a 70s vibe given my love of interesting light up digital stuff too, probably so I can tell the time in the darkness of my groovily lit world ;-).
As an aside I’m currently listening to some very suitable music by Pete Brown & Piblokto so the lights are right down in my study and I really need that oil projector on now!
Anyhow, I own a gorgeous Nixie clock for my living room, I’ve a collection of interesting watches including a lovely classic red LED one and several of Tokyoflash’s finest, and I owned several of Mathmos‘ classics, years before lava/glitter/fibre optic lamps were considered fashionable and hence were ten a penny!
I’ve decided however that this clock is a step too far in terms of unreadability despite it being a shiny colourful looking beast! However, if somebody would like to buy it for me for Xmas I’m sure I’ll give it a go ;-).
… here’s another step up in the world of workplace seclusion. It’s not that I don’t like people! It’s just that I enjoy solitary time concentrating with my tunes on!
I recently listened to the entirety of Peter Frampton’s famous album “Frampton Comes Alive!” for the first time. Over the years I’ve of course heard “Show Me The Way” plenty of times on the radio along with its famous talk box japery and so I thought his other stuff might be cool. I was wrong, and the album was quickly consigned to the bit bin as annoying 70s MOR pap.
Far cooler though is the Korg DS-10 application for the Nintendo DS! There’s just something really cool with having a tiny retrotastic synth/sequencer and its ability to create really quite cool tracks with simple loops is excellent!
Take the DS-10 app and a bit of ingenuity and you get the following curious Frampton-related fun …
