All change!

They say that there are two things that are inevitable, death and taxes, I reckon there are three things, death, taxes and change.

Change is scary because change is switching from the known to the unknown and we're all afraid of the unknown, a nutter on the bus, the under-the-bed monster, a new job...

Change is not necessarily something to be afraid of tho, change can be good and its just a question of getting used to it.

Work out what it is that's so scary and come to terms with it.

Ok, let's see if I can take my own advice...

Music I have bought recently,


Massive Attack, Heligoland,



Actually this was bought for me, read some reviews that said it was somewhat mediocre, but after having heard it a few times, its ok. A grower as they say.

Gorillaz, Plastic Beach,




Been looking forward to this one since the last one and its not disappointed one bit.

Corinne Bailey Rae, The Sea,




Another one that's been bought for me, I think she saw the look on my face when she gave it me and that I was somewhat underwhelmed as i wouldn't have bought it myself but its brilliant, well produced and her voice its top notch. She's a Leeds lass you know.

Music I have on order,

Goldfrapp, Head First,



Talk about drip feed! There has been information released on this little by little, bit by bit, keeps you interested I guess, the single is out now and is a real contrast to what has been before.

Plan B, The Defamation Of Strickland Banks,



Don't know a lot about this, but from what I've heard it should be OK

Solve this in your head,

The size of an algae doubles everyday. Knowing it will take forty days for the algae to cover the surface of the pool, how many days will it need to cover one quarter of the pool?

If its got you stupped, the answer is posted under comments.
