Happy New Year!

Happy new year, listeners! While I wait for the champagne corks to start popping, I've been putting together a Youtube playlist of easy listening classics. I did this because I was at a friend's house recently and we felt the need for some easy listening. On checking Youtube for a playlist I discovered that there was nothing that hit the spot. Therefore, on returning home, I determined to make one myself. So, here it is, just in time for you to ease in the New Year.

Chillax! (as the young people say ... or used to say - I have no idea what constitutes cool-speak these days, I lost track after "Ace!" back in the seventies).

Festive Sometimes Posted!

Yuletide greetings, Listeners! 

My latest podcast offering hits the podosphere tonight as Sometimes Dec 2014 goes live. However, due to iTunes' new quality control settings, it may be a while before it reaches your iTunes inboxes (if you use them, that is ... obviously). They say in a recent email:"From Monday, December 22, through Monday, January 5, 2015, new podcast submissions will require additional time for review and processing. During this period, you will be able to submit new podcasts. You also will be able to publish new episodes to existing podcasts. New episodes may require additional time to appear on iTunes Store."

Sometimes Dec 2014 features HP Lovecraft's classic tale of weird horror, The Statement of Randolph of Carter. My reading of the story also features my dodgy American accent - apologies in advance to sensitive American ears.

The podcast also throbs with music from The Elves of Heaven, a news bulletin, a trip to see What's in My (Festive) Fridge, and all this to the uncanny goings on in the Bennett household that unfold when Mr Yip returns with his Karaoke machine - apologies in advance to sensitive ears everywhere. Download it here, or if you're an iphone user, wait patiently for iTunes to do their thing.

Sick

Sorry for my silence but it's been a sh*tty month, and to top it all off, I'm ill. I won't bore you with the details because they are many and confusing. I've been to the doctor twice this week and on both occasions I've come away with a medicine that hasn't worked. So, I guess I'll be going back to the doc's on Monday. No other news, I'm afraid. I'll post something next weekend (if not before). Until then, pip-pip. M

Grotesque and Hilarious Underwood and Flinch Images

  A while ago I used the A.I. art generator, DALL-E, to create some images of Underwood and Flinch. The results were … er … not good, and ca...
