ed cumming's incidental: The Spotify Drinking Game
http://edcumming.blogspot.com/2009/06/spotify-drinking-game.html
A repository of pieces that have been published elsewhere and also of good for nothing reject articles. Tuesday, 23 June 2009. The Spotify Drinking Game. My friends and I have invented a game. We may not be the first, but since I know of noone else I am taking this opportunity to codify it. That's it. Simple. But very effective. . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Itinerant hack, for this and for that. Chalk Farm, London. Putting a little of the amateur spirit back into professional journalism. Albums ...

ed cumming's incidental: More thoughts on the CUSU/Varsity issue
http://edcumming.blogspot.com/2009/05/more-thoughts-on-cusuvarsity-issue.html
A repository of pieces that have been published elsewhere and also of good for nothing reject articles. Saturday, 16 May 2009. More thoughts on the CUSU/Varsity issue. It is the more a pity that the actions and attitudes of a very small group of people at a superficially senior level within this network ought to be abusing their positions so horribly. To clarify: in response to the first issue of Varsity. The sending of the second, destined for those companies who advertise in. As if this patronising and...

ed cumming's incidental: Albums you used to love and forgot
http://edcumming.blogspot.com/2009/06/albums-you-used-to-love-and-forgot.html
A repository of pieces that have been published elsewhere and also of good for nothing reject articles. Monday, 1 June 2009. Albums you used to love and forgot. One of the many, many benefits of Spotify is its ability to remind you of, and immediately provide for you with, albums you used to love and forgot about. This week, mostly, I have remembered Rival Schools' album 'United by Fate'. This will be number 1. on the list of albums you used to love and forgot. What happened to those guys?

http://edcumming.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A repository of pieces that have been published elsewhere and also of good for nothing reject articles. Friday, 19 February 2010. Response to 'Whipping Boy'. A few weeks ago Celia Walden mentioned me as her 'Whipping boy' in her notebook. The piece attracted an unusual level of sympathy. Grateful as I am, don't feel too sorry for me. I wrote a response that the Telegraph declined to publish, but it is reproduced below for kicks. The original can be found here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Up For Grabs Now.

http://edcumming.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A repository of pieces that have been published elsewhere and also of good for nothing reject articles. Thursday, 16 April 2009. Ed at Large - Granmentira. There’s a moment in ‘The Thick Of It’ where the put-upon Conservative shadow minister expresses his disgust of the internet to a junior aide: ‘Have you ever googled yourself? Conclusions about the internet. 8216;I think I should make up a restaurant this week.’. 8216;Why would you do that? 8216;Might be funny.’. 8216;Not so much.’. 8216;Look I think y...

ed cumming's incidental: Eminem goes West
http://edcumming.blogspot.com/2009/05/eminem-goes-west.html
A repository of pieces that have been published elsewhere and also of good for nothing reject articles. Saturday, 23 May 2009. Has anybody else found that once you’ve heard him speaking English, McNulty’s ‘Baltimore’ accent sounds terrible forever? Like a detective Dick van Dyke (in Mary Poppins, not the program where he plays a detective). Oddly enough, Dick van Dyke was the same age in Mary Poppins, 39, that Dominic West is now. Moral = Dick van Dyke is very, very old. Labels: dick van dyke.

A repository of pieces that have been published elsewhere and also of good for nothing reject articles. Monday, 29 June 2009. From Varsity, 17 June 2009. As I come to the end of my time here, it’s tempting to ask myself the same question. If I were to start again is there anything I’d do differently? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
