music, TheBooks

The books is a very cool funky weird head explosion of musicI’ve been writing a reasonably complex RPG4 program to extract order/shipment/invoice information from JBA and create a spreadsheet in the IFS showing shipping percentages against various targets…

I like to have some cool background sounds on that wont distract my brain too much from what I’m doing: I have been known to accidentally start typing lyrics. I’m currently loving ‘The Books’ who I discovered courtesy of SHAZAM on a long roadtrip and loved their eclectic electronic and groovy sounds.

This morning my ear buds have been expelling sounds courtesy of:
