This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.

Thanks for reminding me of the Ukulele Orchestra! I've had their rendition of Wuthering Heights in my head for a couple of days, I think I heard it on the radio a while back.
ReplyDeleteVia eMusic, I came across an album of jazz mandolin covers, including Hallelujah and a Radiohead song; the previews sound good but as I'm out of downloads 'til Monday, I can't say if it's as good as that 30 seconds, but it could be worth seeking out.
