Threevening
evening, a photo by Aoife B on Flickr. I got a roll of film developed last week but wasn’t too happy with the results unfortunately. Still, there were a few ones I liked, including this unintentional triptych. Sometimes with half-frame toy cameras the film gets stuck or during processing something occurs and you end up…

Sweet Oblivion has moved to Wednesdays at 11pm
Hey folks! Just a little update – 2XM has undergone some (really positive) changes, which has led to the station schedule being shuffled about a bit. As a result, Sweet Oblivion is no longer on Thursdays at 5pm. Instead, it is on Wednesdays at 11pm. At first I was a little worried about it being…

Vivian Maier – Street Photographer
Last Friday, I bundled myself up, tucked myself into bright red hat, scarf and gloves, and went into town, to meet a lovely friend, chat, eat, and then seek out something I have been waiting exactly a year to own. I never got my hands on it. It was a book about Vivian Maier –…

Lightbox tour, Rest & Ten Past Seven gig, new Daniel Rossen song
The past two years have seen a huge rise in the amount of young electronic musicians emerging from their bedrooms and plonking themselves onto blogs, radio shows and into the ears of many.
