Centuries of Sound - 1938
I made this!
I finished a new mix! A month later than I would have hoped, but it is quite a biggie. This one features Benny Goodman's famous 1936 Carnegie Hall concert, Orson Welles' radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, an audio collage of the Munich crisis, and quite a lot more, totaling 220 minutes of sound. Come and have a listen, it's free to stream, preview mix available to download, and I'll be putting out another couple of bits over the next month as bonus podcasts.

Enjoy!
Dores beach is great, as long as you catch it when the local teenage fuckwits aren't littering it with empty bottles and pringles tubes.
Inverness is a depressing shithole. There's a nice woodland walk in Culloden, known locally as 'The Gruffalo Walk' due to the carvings and wood sculptures done by a local artist along the path.
The council recently had to erect anti-vandalism measures around the pieces to dissuade the natives from defacing/setting fire to them, which detracts from the experience somewhat, however.
Nairn is proper lovely if the weather is nice and the Links aren't too busy. Nice walk from the beach along the river to Cawdor Castle if you've got a few hours to spare, too.
Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus are alright, but you'll be fucking sick of Nessie after about 4 minutes.
If you insist on going north of the Kessock Bridge, then steer clear of any settlements on the A9. They get progressively and drastically more grim as you travel Northwards. Wick is basically the result of David Lynch summoning the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft and asking him for advice on town planning.
Definitely visit Glencoe on your way back down the road, though. The Ballachulish Quarry is significantly more scenic than it sounds and the Lochan north of Glencoe Village is fucking spectacular.
The whole place is just bloody lovely, really. Apart from that house where that bloke stayed. Besides that, though...

You're missing the benefits
Golfers are:
- easily identifiable by their clothing and thus easily avoided
- have to put up with club rules and customs that they don't particularly like
- tend to drink at the club bar so staying away from other pubs/bars
- usually buy and maintain larger cars in order to transport expensive golf bag and clubs
- create lonely golf 'widows'
- can frequently be beat by talented players who show little or no interest in purchasing expensive golf clubs thus infuriating some of those who do
As a bonus they spend a lot of money trying to improve their play or look like their golfing heroes which keeps non-golfers in work.
I mean I'm not saying all of the above was planned but its not all bad.

The 'Midas' Skittles ad is one of my favourite ads of all time.
A perfect mix of dark humour and surrealism. It's perhaps that I don't watch TV much at all anymore, but I can't help feeling that advertising has lost a great deal of its edge over the past 10 years or so. Possibly due to the Moral Outrage culture that seems to be gathering steam at a frightening pace.
Remember Points of View? That was the sort of moral outrage I could get behind. None of this Hunsnet Social Media Campaign nonsense. Just good old Margeret in Winslow upset because somebody said "Bugger" before the watershed.

We have a family cottage in the Highlands.
When I say 'Family Cottage', I mean that it's been in the family for generations, it's definitely not family sized. Bedroom, Living Room, Bathroom, Kitchen.
When my Grandparents still lived in it, it was in dire need of modernisation. The place was still wired with BS546 sockets and there was no cavity insulation on the walls at all. The place got horribly damp.
Once my folks inherited it, they had it refurbished to use as a holiday home due to its hugely touristy location. It was a small cottage before they got the place insulated, it's fucking tiny on the inside now. Barely space to fit a two seater couch in the living room, and you can only get into the double bed from one side in the bedroom.
None of us kids want to be burdened with it when it's our turn. It's in arguably one of the most beautiful locations of the UK, but you'd be fucking mental to consider living in it long term, even as a singleton. And the whole holiday let business is more trouble than it's worth.

Yeah.
One of the other downsides of insulating such a tiny property is that the already miniscule living room and bedroom windows are now set so far into the wall that they're really only useful for ventilation.
Still, fucking brilliant having a place like that to stay in for absolutely nothing when we fancy a weekend away, so I shouldn't really complain. Just a shame it isn't a wee bit larger.

A mate has a cottage in the arsehole of nowhere and put an extension out the back in the form of a large marquee
More like a mobile home tacked onto the side and as it is a "temporary structure" it does not need planning. So it been mostly converted into a very large open plan kitchen/diner/living room space and the cottage rooms are now all bedrooms. He then proceeded to get a very large camouflage net from an army surplus store and now it blends in nicely.

Okay I'm a little bit inspired...
I have one or two of those gadget shop pocket sized 4 bladed drones. They have a battery life of about 2 minutes (which would be hackable with a bigger aircraft), and they are already remote controlled. The joystick controller and drone brain think they're a drone, but I bet I can hack that to just have 4 props with variable power.
Shove them in the engine nacelles of a 4 prop airfix model, in a symmetrical fashion with two going clockwise and two going anti, that should give me yaw and, I think roll..? Maybe if I have two pointing slightly upwards and two pointing slightly downwards that could give me pitch.
Making landing gears light enough yet strong enough to cope with my piloting skills is possibly what kills my cheap idea. I guess I could just use balsa wood skids on springs or collapsible paper.
Fuckit, the whole plane could be made of paper.

I thought about going that route for the Mozzy,
but the model currently weighs 250 grams, add battery pack,servos, reciever and the rest of the furniture to the model and you end up with something like 4-500grams.
The bigger the brick, the more power is required to make it move. Most toy drones are around 20 grams.
Trust me, I was as impressed that it dragged itself across the shed floor at 10% power, but there is a casm of difference between that and powered flight. 99% of me says it will brick, but that niggling 1% of "what if" is spurring me on! Oh and a good dose of British fuckit n do it! So basically, YES, go for it :)

I got bored of all my airfix models taking space on my shelves when I got late teens
I had dozens, mad amounts. I took them to the top of Brawn House, a local 21 storey block of flats and dropped them off one by one to see if any would fly.
Some began to to flatten out before they hit the ground, but not much. The best were models of A300 airbus that came with packs of cornflakes, they were so close to pulling out of the dive.

I'd have put The Cult and UK Decay in the punk genre
But it appears that they are classified as post-punk/gothic rock. I don't think I'd even heard of gothic rock at the time so maybe I just assumed they were punk. I've been living a lie all these years - turns out I went from punk to goth without even knowing, winkle-pickers and all!
As far as Goths not liking bright light, I was wondering if the modern perception of them is different to how it was back then - this excerpt from Wikipedia sums it up:
"In recent times, especially in the course of commercialization of parts of the Goth subculture, many non-involved people developed an interest in dark fashion styles and started to adopt elements of Goth clothing (primarily mass-produced goods from malls) without being connected to subcultural basics: goth music and the history of the subculture, for example. Within the Goth movement they have been regularly described as "poseurs" or "mallgoths"."
