The above (Time Goes By, a video that's now been removed) is a song by Feeder which they played on their recent tour, and included on one of their strange ‘Renegades’ EPs that they released during said tour. I include it here because I quite like it, and it doesn’t seem to have made the cut for their new ‘Renegades’ album. Which is sad as it’s better than a fair few of the tracks that actually are on there.
If you want to listen to said album, you can do so here on Spotify. Not sure if I’d recommend it or not. They’ve produced a rather generic bouncy-indie album, really. Loud guitars, bit of shouting; it’s well-made enough but everything is the same basic tempo and it makes the whole record sound a bit samey.
There is a change of pace in the form of Down To The River, but unfortunately it’s a bit plodding and rubbish. The title track and Sentimental are quite decent, as are some others, but they get submerged beneath the raft of similar-sounding tracks.
Shame, as I have a lot of nostalgic love for Feeder and do genuinely want them to succeed, but this really isn’t a great record. Never mind.

Man Vs DailyBooth
So, yeah, I joined DailyBooth. Very briefly. Didn’t really work, for the following reasons:
- I do not suffer from the kind of narcissism required to post a picture of my face on the internet every day. Yes, my Twitter account could well betray a different form of narcissism, but that’s for another day.
- And, sub-point of the above, even if you do post a picture of your face, no-one there cares if you’re not a girl anyway.
- AND definitely no-one cares about my pictures of random objects at stupid angles.
So yeah, not really for me. My account is still open, mostly because it’s currently impossible to delete your DailyBooth account. Seriously, it says “for the time being you will need to just hold off” in their FAQ. So I just removed most of the pictures instead.
I may re-post the two or three Daily Booth pictures I actually liked here under my “Man Vs Camera” photography heading thing, just so they aren’t lost forever.
