Server Troubles and Print Friendly Button

Hey there,

Just a quick update to let you know that the past week or two we’ve had pretty severe troubles with the server that was hosting my site. I unfortunately screwed up the database backup procedure which means I’m slowly re-adding old entries from the past few months based on Google Cache and also the text which I fortunately wrote out in Microsoft Word. So the rest of the articles should be back up with in a week or two dependent on how much free time I have.

Also I’ve added a “Print Friendly” button at the bottom of each article. This makes it easier to print out entries should you wish to do so! If there’s any other things like this that’d help out then please let me know.

Alex.

A Playlist from 2009

Usually at the end of each year you get playlists and lists in general of favourite albums and songs from the year which are all well and good. But I’ve done a slightly different playlist here. The criteria are that I either had to goto a gig and have the song played, or whilst on my travels this is a song that became ‘cult’ between a bunch of us for one reason or another. So yeah completely contrasting criteria there, but it is what it is. I’ve included both youtube videos, and for those – and like there is anyone, that a) really likes the playlist and b) lives in a country that can use Spotify, I compiled a playlist on there too!
