Probably the best decade mixes you’ll ever listen to

bale1

That’s quite the claim but I honestly feel that’s the case with Flight Facilities who produced these decade mixes for Australian radio station, Triple J. I haven’t been able to stop listening to them since @rachearley tweeted about the 1992-2002 one last week. They mix not just the tunes but historical clips of the era so you get events like the LA riots, the Vietnam war etc.

There’s three of the four available at the moment; 1972-1982 (not on Soundcloud so click this link), 1982-1992, and 1992-2002 (embedded below) with the last decade hopefully going up soon. Keep an eye on their Facebook, Twitter and Soundcloud pages. Tunes!

Friday Photo – Capture the guns please

I was lucky enough to spend St Patrick’s Day in the Guinness Storehouse again this year and we had a fantastic time. They had caricaturists and my mate Paddy briefly switched pose when I caught this. Good times.

Friday Photo – The Brown Bread Mix Tape

Brown Bread Mix Tape

Bob Dylan (well, the best lookalike I’ve seen) covers Will Smith’s Fresh Price of Bel Air at the Brown Bread Mix Tape last Wednesday evening in The Stag’s Head. It’s a monthly song, poetry and comedy thing run by some great folks. You can check out their site here. It’s only brilliant.

The Verge get their hands on Google Glass

The Verge have published a positive hands-on of Google’s new product, Glass, which will be hitting the market come year end. I’m really intrigued to see the uses to which this is put. It’s certainly not a product for everyone, not in the short term anyway but I like their aim of reducing the barrier between you and the real world when using mobile tech.
