In a mere matter of HOURS!

28 hours and 40 minutes, to be precise.

Go to Bradford tomorrow, find the Delius pub on Claremont street at 3:30 and be square with your nerd brethren!

In the meantime, go here!

As many of you may know, I'm a Twitter fanatic. Not as much as some, mind you.

Anyway, so I'm also a fan of Jonathan Coulton. As are my friends Z and Anthony.

One fine day on Twitter, Z worked he was 0.006 times as Nerd-famous as JoCo. Then, Anthony described this as being 0.006 Coultons. Then, with my incredible ability to take a great idea and rip it off, I made the Coultometer. It's a simple tool which compares your followers with JoCo's, and a long list of famous Twitter names now seem to be using it... Are you more Nerd-famous than them? Find out!

So basically, due to the crazy law of sod, after finally getting Ubuntu and Windows to dual-boot properly on my lovely PC, my documents drive has become inaccessible by traditional methods.

I am, as I write this, renaming MP3s which I have recovered from the smouldering wreckage that is my Hard Disk, Big Bertha thanks to a program called testdisk which was somehow able to figure out a doc from a txt in that 500GB monstrosity.

Unfortunately, most of the MP3s seem to be messy in their taggage so I've all but given up there.

Next up is important financial shiznit which I left in txt format. This is such a disaster...

Anyway, the point is, I've lost all the master files for my music, and since they were mostly in WAV format and a bit of a mess in terms of file names anyway, it's kind of unlikely that I'll ever get them back, but I will try.

If anyone out in the Interwebs reading this wants to help me, I'm asking if you might be able to point me in the right direction for converting the lossless FLAC versions of my new album into their individual tracks (guitar, vocals, etc). I'd be extremely grateful.

It is a sad day indeed.

First order of business: One of the tracks from my new album on a podcast hosted by the excellent Z of Hipster, Please. You can download it for free here.

Second order of business. Look at THIS:

So basically, I value my worth as a human being based on how many plays I get on Last.fm And I just reached 1,006! This is a monumental achievement for me, and I'm very very pleased.

By the way, in case you hadn't heard:

I'm now on Facebook! And there's a music player there and stuff, with more songs than MySpace has. It's pretty cool, and you can become my fan there! I have 14 so far, thanks to all of those people. The rest of you... what are you waiting for???

And don't forget:
Matters of Great Importance has been released. It can be found here for download or purchase on CD, or the 128kbps MP3 version for free. Available now!
