Kate Nash @ Hammersmith Apollo 11/Mar
Back when I booked a ticket to Kate Nash in March I was quite excited about it, but went for the circle - can’t explain why, but didn’t feel like standing down the front as I had done for Nerina Pallot and WsH.
The Black Kids were excellent. The sound wasn’t great, and this might have contributed to me thinking they were doing a cover of Float On by Modest Mouse for a minute or so. Really enjoyed their set and will hunt out a few tracks.
Kate Nash came on stage just after 9pm and started with Pumpkin Soup, which is one of my favourite songs from the current album. The set moved on to some slower, guitar led songs which were ok, but with the poor acoustics and sound quality (as commented by many when leaving last night, and on blogs this morning) these were somewhat lost and difficult to enjoy.
Overall it was quite good, and Kate Nash is excellent, but on a personal level I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Free the Music
Now via last.fm you can listen to full tracks. I must start going there more often! Also - I didn’t realise how many Alison Moyet songs I recognise. I think I’m a new fan!

Airports set to ease bags limit
Having flown during the limit in September, I personally found that there wasn’t enough room for one bag each with the plane two thirds full on all four flights, let alone two. That’s not to mention the long queues at security at each airport, again with the one bag rule.

Digg the Candidates
I really like what Digg have done here for the 2008 elections, and the caucuses sound really interesting.

New Energy Uses for Asphalt
Reason for posting this (in the comments on Digg)…
Dugg by the use of the original Associated Press source rather than some lame spam blog.
Exactly what I thought when I saw it was on ap.google.com. :-)

What I learned today

Also… however small I imagined the Asus Eee PC is, when you’re standing in front of one it’s absolutely tiny, and looks very good compared to the photos on teh intarwebz. I was pleasantly surprised that the local shop had the 8GB for the same price as the 4GB retails online.
