Layout and design overhaul - what do you think?

For those who have been visiting this blog for a while, you are likely to have noticed a major change in the visual design of this blog.

It's true to say that I'm still experimenting a little, however I would be very interested to know what people think. If you have any thoughts please go ahead and comment. As always, constructive criticism is welcome!

Swanage Railway

We recently had an afternoon at the beach via the Swanage Railway from Corfe Castle to Swanage itself. We had a good swim and picnic, but most of the fun was had riding the old steam trains!

Taking it through the car wash...

I'd thought about doing this one for a while now, but just didn't get round to it. Until now!

St. Vincent's Cave

Beneath the Bristol Observatory on Clifton Down is a tunnel which travels steeply downwards before opening out onto St Vincent's Rocks on the cliff face of Clifton Gorge.

This cave was first mentioned as being a chapel in the year A.D. 305 and excavations have revealed that it has been both a holy place and a place of refuge at various times in its history.

The acoustics were very interesting... including my puffing and panting during the negotiation of the steep steps!

KR-3 - Hypnagogic Pop / Glo-fo / chillwave / psych remix experiment

I've been listening to some Hypnagogic Pop compilations recently. There seems to be divided opinions over the legitimacy of this new 'genre', being a term first used by journalist David Keenan in The Wire magazine. Regardless of the many labels also associated with this fairly loose 'scene' (glo-fi, and chillwave for example), I like the general sound of such artists.

Among some of the stuff I've been listening to has been a number of tracks sampling and remixing 80's pop tunes. I've given this a go myself...
