Prey for the Hunted

God how clearly I can remember staying up late into the night to put together the perfect mixtape in some futile attempt to win back the heart of some highschool girlfriend. It is not just about selecting the right songs, it is picking a theme and selecting a song order to set the mood or tell a story. Well now 20 some years later we have the new web 2.0 version of the venerable art called MUXTAPE . Muxtape allows you to upload 12 songs in MP3 format of up to 24mb per song. It is so stupidly simple you put up the songs and arrange the order on screen with some intuitive use of Ajax.

Fortunately I am devoid of heartbreak at the moment so I use Muxtape to share music with friends around the country. My lastest Mux is a list of great rock songs that everyone recognizes but forgets who sings them. Get your Classic Rock on and check out my Muxtape Here

Graham Watches have only been around 1995 when the parent company British Masters SA was founded by Swiss watchmaker Eric Loth. Graham created an identity for their watches by using large 47mm faces and made even bigger by their unique over sized left hand fast action chrono starters. They employ swiss mechanical movements and generally speaking they put out a very solid timepiece.

This is where many purist step in and bash Graham for trying to trade on a name they have no actual affiliation with. The name borrows from George Graham (1673-1751) who is considered to be the “father of the chronograph”  and the first watch maker inducted into the British Royal Society. For British Masters SA to simply adopt this history is contemptible and it would certainly steer me away from buying an $11,000 watch from them.
