Vox Hunt: 2008 Mix Tape

If you were to make a mix tape to sum up 2008, what would the first track be? Please share that song with us.

It's an oldie, but linked to 2008 because I found my favourite ever version - originally released by the LSO in the 70's on LP - on a second hand 1983 issue CD this year at Amazon (and tonight also on YouTube!)

 

London Symphony Orchestra - Bohemian Rhapsody

I had a worn out LP and thought this title had never made it to CD. Was great to find it again, it sounds a lot better without YouTube audio compression!

2008 Blogging Highlights (from TypePad)

This year, instead of separate posts on each blog, it's one post for all so here are my 2008 Blogging Highlights

What is it with Roman Numerals and TV Credits? (from TypePad)

Was I taught Roman Numerals at (primary?) school just so I could work out when movies and TV shows were made?

Why do they still use them, other than to give me some mental exercise as I blob out on the couch?

* This post is dedicated to the credits of "Blackadder Goes Forth", as funny today as it was in MCMLXXXIX

From TypePad - The Cassette Walkman lives on

Looking through a Sony Catalog prompted a few thoughts;

• No sign of Trinitron Tubes
• No more VHS recorders
• But they still do a Cassette Walkman! *

WMFX199S Cassette Walkman with AM/FM Tuner - Sony New Zealand

* And they still do a quality printed catalog!

QotD: Winter/Summer Solstice

Today you will either have the longest day of the year, or the shortest, depending on where you are. What will you do to celebrate the solstice?

Does going to work count as celebrating? Not a very good, but accurate, answer!

Vox Hunt: It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Show us something that gets you in the holiday spirit.

It's probably not what they intended but for New Zealand this time of the year means Summer, Beach, Holiday!
