I love a good hug, especially one from the larger gentleman with more love to give, or as he might be called in Vauxhall, a bear.
The 2 Bears are a music outfit that have been together for a little over a year now, and consist of, well, two bears. Raf Rundell, and Joe Goddard (from Hot Chip).
I would bore you, but either you know about them already, or if you don’t, head over to their website the2bears.co.uk – but just after you listen to this:
This, is The 2 Bears latest track, and one I am very excited about. Bear Hug.
They are hosting one of the FAR OUT AFTER DARK nights at the Green Man Festival this year, which means we be getting mash up at night. Yeah, you know it. (I’m hosting the main stage at Green Man this year, too! Truly win win!)
As summer is becoming autumn, my music taste is changing. I’m not listening to Caribou’s album anymore (even though only the first two tracks are actually any good), neither am I listening to Katy Perry’s album (don’t judge me). They are too happy and summery.
So what do I listen too? Well I can’t exactly listen to winter warming albums. Take Fleetwood Mac for example, as much as they are good for all year round, they work best in winter.
So we need something perfect for the transition from summer to winter. So here comes my suggestion…
This album is great! Starting with their one hit wonder ‘Supersonic’, it carries on with their energy, flare and great lyrics.
Now I say great lyrics, but actually they are quite repetitive, but that’s part of the charm of this amazing album.
The key is warm, the lyrics of these three women are warm (whilst being kind of agressive, which is hot), and the album is just simply uplifting. Perfect for adjusting from hot to cold…
Before we start with this, I will tell you that a lovely marketing agency sent me this camera for free. There were no requirements for me to say certain things about the camera or to portray it in a certain light. I’ve chosen to review the camera and feature it on my blog. I have not been paid for this post nor am I going to be.
Hello friends old and new, welcome to Sebbywood.com! Today I’m reviewing the Kodak Playsport which is a consumer level, rugged HD video camera aimed at the active market boasting it can handle up to 10 feet / 3 meters underwater.
I received it a fortnight ago to the day, and I have to say I’ve carried it around with me everywhere I’ve been in those two weeks. I love love love this camera. From the way it looks to the quality it produces I love it – let’s look at specific sections individually…
LOOKS: Coming in 4 different colours, the Playsport is a sexy little number, much nicer to look at that a Flip HD with its flippy outy USB crapy thing! Its got clear concise buttons, sturdy slots for USB / HDMI and Battery / SD card.
FEEL: It feels sturdy and rugged in your hands, has slight rubber grips on the sides making it easier to hold and feels like a solid unit.
CONTROLS: The menu is simple, very simple – perhaps too simple… but this isn’t a prosumer or professional camera, this is a consumer level product, so doesn’t really need that many controls.
CONNECTIVITY: The camera comes with a HDMI cable which is sweet for the low price tag, it’s just a shame that the charge/connection cable isn’t the standard USB cable but a special shape.
OUTPUT: The quality of video is superb in daylight / studio lighting. Darker scenes the quality differs from acceptable to some scenes which you wouldn’t believe are HD, 720p let alone 1080p.
OVERALL: The camera is bloody amazing, for the RRP of £129.99 its brilliant, and I know I’l be using this camera personally for a lot of things, including filming all my radio show goings on for BIG IN WIGAN TV. I’l also be recommending it to all my clients to use for video assets for their social media content!
This is where I will be suggesting something to you, wether it be music, gadgets, bus routes, fried chicken shops or even fashion (yeah, thought that might get a laugh out of you all!)…
Anyway, it started with a little hashtag on Twitter to my latest tweet, and it just sounds good. Seb Suggests.
The tweet and first Seb Suggests is an album. Because of this dreary weather after the last week on sunshine, I decided the album I’ve selected is the perfect mood changer, from one of misery, to one of fulfilment and will generally uplift your spirits.
Ladies and gentleman, today’s #SebSuggests is….
Royksopp’s Melody AM album.
Starting off with two clasic songs So Easy and then Eple, it then takes you on a journey with relaxing strings and harps up to a track called Poor Leno, which is a soundtrack to a couple of summers in France for me, but also suits the downtempo rained out mood today stuck on a sweaty bus.
The next few songs up to and including Your Hands is a magical mystery tour of sounds and emotions, leading up to Funk House Royksopp sick bucket of enjoyment in the last track Fusions Alright.
A class album for a miserable day.
