time to blog a bit more

i think subconsciously ive been neglecting this blog as more people actually know who i am and i cant be anonymous with my ranting

watched powder blue film last night – brilliant – but i was watching it thinking how the hell have i only picked up on this 2 years later ?

inter-pub pool competition tomorrow – we’re on spanish rules and spanish table so queen vic – look out

went out to pub on monday but they had bingo night and no footy soundtrack so went to the other pub in town – went out tonight and decided to visit latter pub only for them to have bingo night – FTW

had some strange desire just now to watch my mate’s video footage of the time we went to primal screams private gig at fortress studios on their 10th anniversary but sadly its a 404 error – arse

i got banned again from ibiza spotlight the past day or so – even though it was a helpful first post – its amazing how petty some people can be

more rubbish to follow

new ministry of sound iphone app and some odd coincidences

ministry of sound have launched their new iphone ibiza app – but there was one thing that got me alerted

in their wifi hotspot listings they have manolos y finas tiny bar downstairs and it surprised me that they knew about it – when i looked it had the exact same 2 sets of 5 decimal place longtitude and latitudes as our wifi hotspot listing

as i checked further – their entry for “ibiza town park” listing also had the same 5 decimal place lat & long as our iphoneibiza.com website – bear in mind the park is probably 100m x 100m – why the exact same location?

as i randomaly picked out entries they all had the same lat & long

i’ve asked the ministry of sound for an explanation – i would re-publish the replies but i know that the ministry of sound have an alleged history of litigousness

stay tuned ;)

some some various updating is needed

havent blogged for a bit as have been busy with the main website and stuff so some updating is necessary

1. i’m going to rome to the champions league final – result – just got to find the money and book flights and hotel – pain in the right royal rase
2. my iphone ibiza app has been accepted in the itunes app store – i dont think ive ever been more happy – the irony is that i found out about it courtesy of someone posting on ibiza-spotlight forum – the forum ive been banned from so many times its untrue

this is the blog post i put up today:

Some more screenshots of our iphone ibiza application. It has over 1000 ibiza telephone numbers you can easily dial direct from your iphone or itouch without having to be online. We’ve got over 300 hotels, all the emergency numbers, car hire, restaurants etc that we have on the web version – the clubs, concierge services, gyms, scuba diving, taxis etc:

You can get it by simply searching for “ibiza” in the itunes app store or by using this link

andy taylor

went to meet up with andy taylor at henry’s sonic vista studios in ibiza yesterday evening where he’s recording his new album. we were talking for about half an hour when he said do you fancy a beer and then we can listen to some of the new stuff “sounds good to me”…

so we decamped to the nearest bar and chewed the fat about everything from politics, the g20 protester who was killed to the music biz – a very enjoyable couple of hours then it was back to the studio where henry sat in front of mission control and started playing some of the stuff andy’s already recorded, mixing it as the tracks were playing – very guitar, loud and really good.

it got late so we offered him a lift home as he lives not far from the flat – fuck me – what a pad – how the other half lives etc….. cant remember how long we spent there but after meeting up early evening got home about 3am – top bloke

he’s playing at vaughans 50th birthday bash at las dalias tomorrow so looking forward to that – tonight though is inter-pub pool competition at the newly reopened queen vic, then nassau beach club opening in bossa then probably a beer in the rock bar – cant see myself going to vaughans do in the funky room at pacha though

view from the ibiza villa

this is the view from our ibiza villa – our ibiza villa has great views over ibiza and we love our jaunts into san jose village in ibiza

we have nothing better to do than talk about our ibiza villa and its views over the ibiza countryside and spend our time making friends and influence people – oh sorry that last sentance was the wrong way around

anyway we love our ibiza villa and we love its views over ibiza

arf…

jimmy page live in ibiza

thanks to a friend i found the live bootleg of jimmy, jason bonham and a couple of others at a gig in san antonio, ibiza in 1986 – the live tracks are here: jimmy page live in ibiza

watched last nights u.s. ep 7 of 24 this afternoon – i’m deffo enjoying it so far – quite a few twists early on but its starting to settle down – but i doubt that will last long

there’s another project i’m working on related to the iphone but since i know some people are reading this blog now i dont want to spill the beans before i have to.

i noticed today that the spitlight have now started their own ibiza blog – this blog and the main one have been google pr3 for quite awhile (this for a couple of years now) so i’m not worried by them – if i could be arsed i actually think it would be fun to read their blog and do my own version to target their keywords

ive read the first 6 or so – and i’m definitly not worried

“today was a good day”

i think it started yesterday

madrid rings to say they are issuing my passport

went to the pub and won my pool competition game

went for dinner at a friends last night and had a really great time but ran out of fags – got back into town at 2am but cosmi bar was still open – result

today booked a return flight to london for TEN euros

got “a forest” played on neil coles request hour – ok so i’ve had loads played but it was nice to hear that track

printouts of feb’s magazine turned up on time this afternoon and it was relatively painless to proof read – and no time pressure

spoke to a friend about an artist who they look after who i hope may come and play here this year – i have a good feeling about it

i have been in a strangely good mood all day
