This is the personal blog and main internet hub-thing for Pete Ashton. What you'll find here is a seemingly random collection of stuff I want to talk about and share. If you want to know where I'm coming from you could do worse than check the about page.

Some blogs I like
February 20, 2007
It’s that time of year again. Here’s the SXSW 2007 music torrent featuring 739 mp3s over 3.1GB from bands who are playing the festival. And I still haven’t worked through 2006 yet. (via)
nice one, I too haven’t completely worked through the 2006 collection yet, although I have discovered quite a few gems in there so far. will try and remember to post my faves from 2006 here or on my blog.
i use the rating system on my ipod and i’ve found it really useful for things like this. i’ve set up a playlist for ‘unrated’ tunes, so when i’m in the mood for listening to new music (which is most of the time!) i listen to that and try and make sure i rate everything that i hear and when i’m the mood for my tried and tested faves i listen to my top rated. stuff that i’ve rated one usually gets deleted from my collection completely, a two gets removed from my ipod but remains in my itunes just in case, a three is for stuff that i’m not sure about but might be growers and four/five for my faves obviously.
anyways i’m rambling, must start posting some music rambles on my own blog!
Of the tracks I was previously unaware of, these are my favourite discoveries so far:
“October Language” by Belong (post rock)
“Black Hand” by Cadence Weapon (hip hop)
“Mothure” by Chas. Mtn. (acoustic)
“Laughing Machines” by Coaxial (trip hop)
“Second Son” by Elliott Brood (bluegrass)
“Bedside Table” by Flip Grater (guitar)
“Drink to Moving On” by Grand National (guitar)
“Bombs in the Distance” by The Holy Fire (guitar)
“Psychic Connection” by Hyperbubble (electro)
“When the Stars Shine” by Instruments (acoustic)
“Kukicha” by Jad Fair and Lumberob (er?!)

“Good Man” by King Straggler (acoustic)
“Transition” by The Longcut (guitar)
“Mantra” by Lovetones (guitar)
“Duluth” by Luke Zimmerman (acoustic)
“Fingerprints” by Maggie Walters (acoustic)
“Even Without You” by The Magnolias (guitar)
“The Hypothesist” by Novillero (guitar)
“Modern Swinger” by The Pink Spiders (guitar)
“love i have 4 u” by Ron Franklin (acoustic)
“Don’t Believe Everything You Hear” by Shane Bartell (acoustic)
