Life After Google Reader
I just — finally — got around to finding myself something to replace Google Reader. There was a brief beautiful moment where I zeroed out my feeds and you know, that sort of thing needs celebrating.

Cobrastyle
17/05/2013
This is a song that, it turns out, very few people know by name. I am weirdly fond of it. Partly because the band is the Teddybears (who are Swedish and strange and for some reason tend to be pictured with the heads of bears…) and partly because the chorus gets stuck in my head, […]
How You Write a Synopsis
16/05/2013

03/05/2013
We’re making a slight detour from the actual order of the playlist because this song has been stuck in my head all week and I needed to share that with you. Because I’m nice. Thoughtful. All those good things. And because someone made this fanvid for it that’s the bestest thing ever. If you’re a sci-fi […]
