- Thus the most recent of my ground-shattering achievements comes to its conclusion. It's been a project of varying success, I feel, but overall it's gone alright. The main concern with this one was that the principal intention (viz. writing one article per day) remained intact. And so it has! It's been a very active period, really, what with the... more

- Musical Extravaganzas - Nocturne

- (Continuing the story...) ...but I've forgotten something fairly significant! A trip a few of us in Primary School made to Manchester's Bridgewater Hall to hear our Hallé orchestra perform Holst's The Planets. Significant, I think, because I believe it was the first classical concert I'd attended, or at least the first world-class orchestra I'd... more

- As we come towards the end of the chapter, I have a second trick up my sleeve to present, which will then complete the pair of memorable articles I've written around the internet, and which I feel deserve a place here. An article I wrote about Slint's wonderful album Spiderland back in July of 2004 when I was only eighteen, as it appeared back... more

- (Continuing the story...) ...into a fairly wide variety of venues through the years, beginning with my musical home for the early ones, St. Peter's Primary School Hall; where I started off by playing Guitar 2 (for pieces with more than one part for a certain instrument, the 2nd part would generally be easier to play and require less proficiency... more

- Susie Isn't Here Today
- by Miblo

- For reasons unbeknownst to me and which I never hope to understand, Channel 4 insists on bringing us the periodical whipping, guffawing and jingling festivities known locally as horse racing, which rudely takes the place of Countdown and the mental stimulation that that programme brings. 'But don't you see, young man, we give the beasts... more

- (Continuing the story...) ...thus, having learnt these instruments (at least to a sufficient proficiency), the logical progression was then into school halls, concert halls, theatres and clubs where I could have some fun and share what I'd learnt with those who cared to come and listen. However, the full conclusion to this story must wait for... more

- Very Nearly Almost
- by Miblo

- 40 days old
- This is really the most flying of visits, and which very nearly almost wasn't to be, because the computer has been in use until only very recently and, wanting to watch Frida - which is just beginning on BBC1 - I had considered, for the first time in this chapter, not writing an article today. more

- Mr. Webmaster, if You Please

- 41 days old
- Amidst a barrage of lightning flashes and crashes of thunder, I make may way home through the night with a second - would you believe it? - a second assignment clasped in my hand. My computing prowess (/me sniffs), it seems, is becoming common knowledge amongst my peers, and, not wishing to miss a trick, two have enlisted me as their internet... more

- On Joining Facebook
- by Miblo

- 42 days old
- After plenty of cajoling from various friends to get one of the damn things, I've finally been persuaded, by probably one of the very few people who could have done it, to get my own Facebook account. The first exhilarating moments were just that, exhilarating; seeking out all the friends I had, and seeing what they're up to now and what they... more

- (Continuing the story...) ...where music seemed to me to be a very exotic subject. It wasn't one of the main subjects in my Primary School, and I'm not even sure that it was taught at all until Mr. Brown arrived in my second year (Year One, after Reception), but when I was fortunate enough to have a music lesson it was to me a real treat. I... more
