Geneva L iPod stereo dock review
Update 8 Jan 2011 – The remote stopped working on my unit over the new years break. One email to the Australian Distributor and without question, they’ve shipped me a new remote to my nearest retailer (on request) and are fault finding the old one. Very happy with that!
Sometimes good things come to those who [...]

Angry [...]

Acrassicauda finally get a gig
Well right now here in Melbourne, we’re having major bush fires. Some of the worst ever in fact. Frankly the response and generosity from the public is heart warming and overwhelming. The human suffering is unimaginable, but it’s even more saddening to think refugees suffer permanently. Usually from acts of war rather than god.
Acrassicauda are [...]

6 brilliant podcasts

Often it’s all the stuff you’d love to hear on radio that’s just far too out there to broadcast any time of day. As much as iTunes is rigid and inflexible, it’s by far the easiest [...]
