In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-
Glass, the Red Queen tells Alice that “it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

Photos from Gomez’ gig at Southampton university on my flickr site. Admittedly taken with the Samsung Soul mobile, which to be frank isn’t that great for this sort of thing.
A reasonable gig, but I’ve seen Gomez perform a lot better. he big surprise of the night was Frightened Rabbit, the support band who put in a very impressive support set. This is a band with lots of potential.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation have a rather good article about the frustrating and crazy behaviour of the media industry (film, TV & music) towards innovation and technology. Although a lot of this is not new thinking it is well expressed, and also highlighted in the light of the fact that recent findings have shown Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) actually have helped advertising not hindered it.
