Dandelion Radio | Mixcloud
Ooh, Dandelion are putting their previous month’s shows on Mixcloud. Brill. Rocker’s my favourite, but lots of good stuff generally.

AZPianoNews: REVIEW - Classenti CDP1, CDP2, CDP3, GR1 Digital Pianos From China - Not Recommended - Digital Piano Reviews
Says that the Classenti and Broadway digital piano brands, promoted by the afore-linked UK Pianos, are owned by and exclusive to the man behind UK Pianos, and that they’re not that good, although the writer hasn’t played them… Intriguing.

The Amen break: Just a sample | The Economist
Finally got round to reading/listening to all of this, 15 months after everyone else linked to it. I love this stuff, because I’m so oblivious to the details of samples normally.

@plsj Those reviews put me off seeing it. Btw, the BBC have just started showing Parks and Recreation!
@aden_76 You get connected to a new, random fellow queuer every 30 seconds, so you can share tutting and sighing and small talk.
@luke_duke @wonderlandblog @joroach Google Glass broadcasts of live haircuts! One day…

@kassschmitt @csi_popmusic You started it!
@txd Blimey, really? Thanks! Let me know anything I should do. And, I should buy you more than a drink!
@csi_popmusic @kassschmitt And the former are as bad as the women who feel entitled to leave the seat down!
@txd Not really… I thought cloudview was moved, but then I still need to move things? I was/am confused! Not sure how/when.
@txd OK… still waiting for my support ticket of 2013-01-07 asking about what I’m supposed to do to be answered! :)
Realising how many things on my @txd server try to connect to other servers, now they’re all complaining. Small pieces, not at all joined.
@LimaMikeGolf I don’t think I’d heard of “weblogs” as a thing then. But did read blog-like sites like macintouch.com
@LimaMikeGolf I thought it’d be interesting for the mailing list. I used Userland Frontier to build the first version en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UserLand_…
@LimaMikeGolf @bmagnanti I think @RobinGrant’s perfect.co.uk started before Haddock Directory, not sure when web.archive.org/web/1997061310…
@LimaMikeGolf @bmagnanti Haddock Directory started sometime in 1997, with the older links backfilled.
