New Otis Redding best of due from Shout! Factory on October 20th

In my list of classic R&B / soul performers, Otis Redding easily lands in my top 5.  It’s criminal after all of these years of enjoying Redding’s music, my overall knowledge of his complete output is still woefully incomplete.  I definitely need to dig further into his catalog, and one of these days, I will do that. For now though, my eyes and ears perked up when I read the news that Shout! Factory had a new CD/DVD retrospective planned to further celebrate Redding’s legacy.  Otis

NELC warns about scam e mails offering income tax rebates

I received notice of a new phishing scam through the North East Lincolnshire Council intranet recently which I wou;d like to pass on: “My collegue received the following email.  It looks like a legitimate attempt to refund circa £300.00 tax but is actually a hoax which seeks private details.  “It can be recognised because instead of a   .gov.uk suffix to the email address it has a    .co.uk suffix.  It only appears to be from HM Revenue and Customs.

A Mexican Fiesta Rehearsal Dinner

Sources: Mexican paper banners , bright centrepiece , watermelon margarita , invitation , mason jars , succulent and billy button bouquet , mariachi band , guacamole dip With our mutual passion for Mexican food, Mr Lightning and I have decided on a Mexican Fiesta theme for our rehearsal dinner (to be hosted by his family 2 days before the wedding). It’s a nice contrast to the sleek, cool colours of our wedding and gives me an opportunity to show off how sweet and pretty a fiesta can be (no tequila shots and sombreros for this intimate affair). I’ll make up some invitations in the next week and will start sourcing mason jars for the beverages and centrepieces

Guitar Hero 5 for Wii can stream downloaded songs directly from SD card

In what’s hopefully indicative of future trends, the upcoming Guitar Hero 5 for Nintendo Wii has the ability to stream content — in this case, extra songs — directly from the SD card. Up until now, everything from the card had to be transferred to 512MB internal memory before use, meaning you’d be pretty limited if making that near-endless set list of premium downloaded tracks.

Don’t believe everything you read about paying for news online

Today’s reader gets informed online, and for next-to-nothing. Picture by Lumaxart at Dreamstime It was once said of Britain’s scurrilous newspaper The Sun that its very existence proved you couldn’t buy anything for 25 pence any more. As Britain’s most popular red-top rag, its myopic world view made Kiwi papers look positively 20/20, and offered Brits something to top up their prejudices every morning.

Life has given me lemons and I have not been making lemonade

To the tiny community of people who read this blog, Sorry for my absence! The combination of tiredness, cases of the blues (maybe it’s the summer heat!), dental surgery and eating bad food over the weekend has really thrown me into a very fuzzy mood. I couldn’t even enjoy a really good episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations in San Francisco because my nausea was preventing me from ogling the delicious food
