The observant amongst you may have noticed that I didn’t have an “About Me” page. Well fear not, I’ve just done one. It’s a bit pants, but you can see it here.
Sencha touch, YQL and BBC essential mix
So following on from earlier post this week about writing an Ext app which uses YQL to show the BBC radio1 essential mix tracklisting I decided to re-implement the same thing but using the new sencha touch library. Here it is: BBC Essential Mix Trackisting for Android, Ipad and Iphone I’ll post later this week [...]
Playing with Ext.js, YQL and BBC radio1 Essential Mix
I’m a big fan of the radio1 essential mix and list to almost every week. I’m also getting more and more stuck into Ext.js at work. I also saw a great talk by Christian Heilmann of Yahoo at Full Frontal last and he demo’ed YQL. So I thought I’d give it a go and make [...]
Broken Home DJ Set
This is a mix which I did in a club back in Macclesfield in 2001 for a club night called Broken Home. The recording is me preparing in my bedroom a day or two beforehand so excuse the bad scratching and FX. Broken Home Set (demo) 2001 by mattgoldspink
All Vinyl Mix – KISS (2004 REMIX) by PRINCE is now in stock
I finally tracked down a copy of the Soul Of Man Remix of Prince’s Kiss a few weeks back after first hearing it on the Cut & Paste essential mix on Radio 1 back in 2000 (I didn’t realise it was a full 9 years ago!!). It took 5 years to figure out it was [...]
New Summer Mix
It’s not very summery. After seeing 2manydj’s a few weeks back I realised I needed to do some DJing. It’s only 30mins, but it packs in about 20 tunes (including the obligatory Michael Jackson tribute): Download: 11-july-2009.mp3 Tracklist: Hot Chip – Ready For The Floor Cities In Dust (Glimmers Remix). – Junkie XL Hey Boy [...]

Jarvis Cocker Photo’s online
Posted by Matt on July 7th, 2006
James has just passed me the photo’s from Jarvis Cocker DJing at the Mint Lounge a few weeks back. I did shake his hand! Honestly!!! It was one of those moments where the world around you disappears and there’s a connection with you and said person and nothing else matters, not even photo’s to prove I completed some bloody challenge.

Mix Of the Month (A little late): 1 to 12
Posted by Matt on July 7th, 2006
Apologies for this being late! What with being in Mallorca, moving out of Manchester, Graduation, etc… It slipped my mind! Anyway, here’s a random novelty mix I did a while back this year. It’s called (rather aptly)
“1 to 12″
I’ll let you guess why (hint: take a look at the tracklisting 
) It’s only 32mins long this time due to the nature of the theme of the mix, so hopefully my bandwidth won’t get caned this month. Also, apologies for the quality of the mixing, I haven’t really tidyd it up, so the mixing is a bit dodgy.
Listen Here (14Mb wma file)
Tracklisting
- 1 Thing – Amerie
- 2 More Dead – RJD2
- 3 MC’s and 1 DJ – Beastie Boys

Getting Fat
Posted by Matt on July 7th, 2006
One of main challenges for the year is to get fat. I’ve been a skinny prawn all my life and now I’m back home again sponging off my parents before I start work, I’ve decided to eat as much as I can. So far I’m not doing too badly. My initial weight was 9st 3lb on Monday (very light). Then on Thursday morning I weighed 9st 7lb (still very light). I’m aiming to hit 10st 5lb (with a bit of belly) by the end of the summer. So stay tuned for weight updates!
Graduation Photos Online
Posted by Matt on July 7th, 2006
I fixed up my photo gallery (I think when I updated the blogging software, the gallery plugin reset some stuff) and now my photo’s are back online (woohoo!). So feel free to take a look at my photos from my graduation. It was a grand day out! I was going to say it feels weird now that uni’s over, but it doesn’t. Anyway, here’s a pic of the cheesey “let’s throw our hats in the air!”
Challenge Complete: I Got A 1st!!!
Posted by Matt on July 1st, 2006
Got back from Mallorca at 7am this morning (I’m soo soo tired). I had a letter from Uni telling me I got a 1st in my Degree!!! Sadly, I was unable to do the skinny dipping on holiday cos it was far too dark and far too cold (so you would’ve have seen very little proof). I have decided to hold off on this one until I next go to Mallorca. I did put the silent P in ocean, in preparation for putting the silent P in swimming pool. I have to say, I enjoyed the experience. Peeing in the sea is very liberating!
Hello from Mallorca
Posted by Matt on June 26th, 2006
I’m just visiting my bro in Mallorca with Laura. It’s far too hot here, so tomorrow I’m gonna go skinny dipping to cross it off my list of challenges! Await photo’s of proof
