Random Thoughts II

Thoughts that don’t deserve their own posts:

• MTV2 vrs NME TV? Considering how much I use to enjoy M2, it pains me to say NME wins it.
• The best few hours of radio is on a Sunday evening on BBC 6Music. Listener 6Mix followed by Guy Garvey. For new music though, weekday evenings with Marc Riley and Tom Robinson are both solid. Both on 6Music too.
• Whether I like it or not, Techmeme and Friendfeed seem to be stopping me from using Google Reader as often. I think I actually preferred it when I didn’t have the options.
• Best soundtrack on TV (at least before the series ended)? The Apprentice (UK). I’m not a big fan of background music (especially the way US tv does it), but this music adds to it.
• Worst theme tune? Girlfriends on Trouble. Becky watches it and it cuts right through me.
• Best album of the year so far? Its a close fight between Nick Cave’s “Dig” and Elbow’s “Seldom Seen Kid”. Elbow have the advantage of me seeing them live though.
• MGMT’s ”Electric Feel” has just clicked. Would sound great on a Sunday afternoon.
