The G-sides
I am a massive fan of the Gorillaz, so upon hearing a fantastic song that I&#8217;d never heard before on Last.fm, I jumped up and immediately found out which album it was that I was missing. I picked up a copy of &#8220;G sides&#8221; (2002) and listening to is great. There are some brilliant remixes on there and brilliant original songs as well. One that stuck me down immediately was &#8220;Left Hand Suzuki Method&#8221;. It&#8217;s been pieced together in a unique way, and well, it sounds amazing. It&#8217;s by far less commercial than either of the other two albums, and I suggest that any Gorillaz fans try it out.

Jokosher
Over the past few months, some of you (especially LugRadio listeners) may have been aware of the project called Jokosher. It is a collaborative effort to create an easy to use, audio editor for the masses. It uses the GStreamer for a back-end and GNOME for the front end. It has just made its first release and I thought I&#8217;d mention it here because watching it being developed blew me away in terms of the power and skill of the FLOSS community. Unfortunately thats all I could do, just sit back and watch and describe what I saw in the Wikipedia article (yes, OK, I&#8217;m a fucking Wikipediholic, I know).

For more information on Jokosher, check out the site, and see the Wikipedia article for a description of it.

Truly incredible.

A bit late but


Yep I did go to the LUGRadio live event. You might not have seen me, but I frequented the area around the pool table, MAME cabinet, and Clan.lugradio table. Drinky, Adam Sweet, if you come across this page, I&#8217;m the one who kicked your ass with mines.

Overall the event pretty much rocked. Some of the talks were boring (I won&#8217;t name names), but overall I throughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot about Linux, open source, and how badly the community surrounding it can dance. I&#8217;ll see everyone who attended next year, for sure.
