Thank you for your hard work. I have the ratings back now, but it’s curious that all the overall ratings for the ones I’d missed these past few weeks are whole numbers.

I think with the last few months the popular rating hasn’t been visible and there’s every chance no votes have accrued at all, so just one person (maybe you!) has voted and that’s why

I just went to “You I Belong”, and could work out that 2 other people had voted it 4 so clicking 5 made it 4.3, clicking 7 made it 5, and so on.

Pokémon X And Why

9 Jan 2013 GET UR FROAK ON While most of my online acquaintances were geeking out today at the thought of a new David Bowie album, our house was far more excited by the announcement of new Pokémon games – Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, the first on Nintendo’s 3DS console(1).

Enormous Legends

8 Feb 2001 Charlemagne Palestine – Four Manifestations on Six Elements 1. Charlemagne Palestine approaches a piano like a climber approaches a mountain. He does not play the instrument so much as he lets it test him: he starts each performance like an ascent, knowing that somewhere ahead there are the limits of the piano, and also the […]

Girl Talk

28 Jul 2009 Here’s something I did for fun yesterday: a graph showing the % of UK #1 hits with female lead vocals, year by year. (Shared male/female leads counted half)*.

The FreakyTrigger Top 25 Brands: 22: TARMAC

24 Nov 2006 Tarmac? What kind of a brand is that, its just the pavement, right? Wrong my friends. Tarmac is a brand and an awe-inspiring dominant one at that. I love brands whose names are synonymous with their main product, it shows an awesome degree of brand dominance when the brand name becomes subsumed into language. But […]
