NPR : Creators at Carnegie : Randy Newman
Some all-time favourites here (Good Ol' Boys etc) along with nice commentaries by the man himself - and many fewer interruptions than poor Caetano suffers.

NPR : Creators at Carnegie : Caetano Veloso and David Byrne
NPR : Creators at Carnegie : Caetano Veloso and David Byrne
two one hour concerts (with annoying intros) Amazing to hear Caetano singing Davis' "The Revolution" - which BTW was featured on a fantastic live concert on BBC4 TV a while ago, when will this be repeated? Good enough reason to get a DVD recorder...

Welcome to Outdoor Alternative
Welcome to Outdoor Alternative Basic (ie not shop!) but excellent campsite on Anglesey, where we just spent a few days.
In Lake District, recently had a good weekend at Fisherground farm:

Both have great pubs within a short walk. And great walks over longer distances.

Loudon Wainwright III Web Site
Loudon Wainwright III Web Site: From this there is a link to an excellent "Oct. 1999 Performance at the Kennedy Center", as well as plenty of other downloads, including a nice recent anti-Bush song.

RegCleaner
This is a godsend - it lets you wipe out unwanted registry items that UNINSTALL often misses - like the stuff that REALPLAYER puts on your system (that sems to have interfered with other audio apps judging from the problems they've had since I opted for the last Realplayer upgrade). the interface is easy, and provides a clear snapshot of what is installed there.

Solid Converter PDF - Download
Solid Converter PDF - Download
This converts PDF into RTF format. The online version is just a trial, but there have been cover magazine discs on PC mags that give a version of the full product. Example of use - I was sent a PDF document today that would only print in Chinese characters for some reason, likewise when cut and pasting. But Solid converted to Roman scriot, and I could then size and print out the text to read.
It has also done the seeming impossible, which is capture a table of data into a form I could spreadsheet.

I am finding this a great browser, and the extensions and skins that are available add much functionality (eg Google bar, blog this!) and fun.

Jet Audio Basic is an excellent free audio (and other media) player, with the neat facility of being able to record whats coming through your sound card into realplayer and wma formats (and others, but not mp3). It takes a little while to master the interface, but then it's very powerul.
A strange thing has happened since I upgraded RealPlayer a couple of days ago, which is that Jet seems to have gone invisible. It still plays files, but I cant see the control panel, and it is invisible to an "Alt-Tab" command. This means that I cant do some of the things I'd like to!

Despite the title, this station plays a great deal of Jefferson AIRPLANE and related Kantner, Slick etc. (I've yet to hear any Hot Tuna though).
