My second night out this week was to my Student Union. Although the nightclub is called Level One, no-one ever refers to as that, it’s just the SU. There has only ever been one Level One for me. That was in Reading. I remember spending several nights there with my friends from college. A regular co-haunt of the club was my dear friend now budding DJ, Pavneet Khural. Oh, how sweet memories can be, when you look to the past, and only think of the happy times. It’s shame you can’t always look at your history with rose-tinted glasses. The All New Top Of The Pops was launched yesterday, with executive producer, Andi Peters at the helm. Overall, I was quite impressed with the new format of the show. More focus on album tracks, the album chart, and giving the performance artist the opportunity to sing medleys rather than single releases. I was disappointed that Michael Jackson’s video for One More Chance was not shown. I’m informed Sony UK, have stated that the video was incomplete. I see that being far from the truth. I think the new logo, new studio and presenter, Tim Kash borrowed from MTV to bring some of the cable/satellite channel’s magic to the BBC’s flagship music programme. They are all very good, as the programme and tired format were in need of a makeover for some time. However, there are those out there who oppose the idea of logos and tags on television screens. For more info go to Logo Free TV to find out more. Personally I feel logos, idents and tags are important to provide the image for a television network. There are also discussions on the website about the TV Licence, and the purpose of a Public Service Broadcaster. All very interesting stuff, but not enough substance to swing my opinion against the BBC I’m afraid. The Info page has been updated. I was able to dig out some images from previous versions of this website. I captured some screen shots and have added them to the Info page. Uni is going well. Having got one coursework deadline out of the way last week, I can now focus on the final two modules that have assignments pending. Still a substantial about of work to do, but I’m sure it will be done and handed in on time. Luckily as we head towards the end of the semester, my lecture time is gradually reduced. So after two months, I will be able to watch Tuesday’s edition of Eastenders. Fantastic! Just when you thought time was running out for web based music service, I discover a great website, for digital audio. With the explosion of peer-to-peer networks, you would feel that http based audio providers would have disappeared completely, if not gone into obscurity. When downloading from KaZaa I have found many MP3’s tagged by the web-based services they have originated from. One reoccurring tag, was MP3 Finder. However, I mistyped the address during the summer, when I wanted to track this elusive, MP3 phantom. Not finding the site, I felt they didn’t exist and that the tag was just a unique name the sharer wanted the digital world to know him or her has. It wasn’t until this week on my searches around various forums, I found the full URL given. The site has a large archive and list of popular single downloads and also links to current album hives, which are again all web-based. Enjoy!

I have often been told that I have a very strange character trait. One which looks far too deep into things, and becomes tense when events are beyond my control. I am taking stock of such comments and have become to realise that ‘True Love Waits…’
