Thaumatrope

I am pleased to announce that finally I have some of my new songs up un the inter-web-net. These are the first new songs since Red Sun Scene and the failed band which followed on from that. You can expect something in the same vein as RSS although this time it is generally a solo effort. It is also likely that some of the future songs will be purely instrumental and some will feature some of my poetry which will be set/or not set against music. There may also be some collaborations with others and also with the poetry side of things, some visual work. Thaumatrope is basically all the little bits I'm doing at the moment brought together in what I hope is an interesting little project.

The demos that I have thus far recorded can be heard at the following links:

Hope you enjoy and be sure to pop back although I am sure that info will also be posted here on this blog.

Letter to cheese

Dear Sirs

I would just like to congratulate you on your Anchor Mature Cheese product. I do not know is this is a recent product of if I only recently noticed it on the super market shelf, but I can honestly say that it was and is a pleasure to the taste buds.

Thank you and congratulations!!!

I was more than pleasantly surprised when I bought the product, especially as it was on offer. I merely wanted some cheddar to enjoy with a glass of wine or port in the evening after a strenuous day at work. But as I say the cheese was well beyond my (and my friend Steve's) expectations and can't seem to stop eating it. Even though I'm trying to diet at the moment (I hope it's not fattening). Words literally fail me when I try to think about how great it is. I thank God that cheese can taste so good. So often we are tempted by more exotic cheeses like, the French brie for example or Dutch edam, both of which are utterly bland. Recently I have also notice newcomers to the cheese market, Bowland or bizarre cheese with caramelized onions, but I applaud you in the art of creating a simple and beautiful British cheese. A cheese without pretension, but a gutsy cheese. Man cheese.

I trust you will not follow suit with the fancy cheese fad although I am interested as to whether you have any plans for the production of other traditional cheeses in the pipeline, a red Leicester perhaps?

I wonder also if you have any corporate information available with regards to cheese tasting or indeed any tips with which you could furnish me?

I thank you for taking the time to read my letter and look forward to your response!


Kindest thanks


Daniel Gilbert
