Media overload...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Nine New Songs
Pink Floyd – The Final Cut
Yes – Fragile
The Beatles – Revolver

Awoke this morning to the sound of Radio 4 replaying its reports from 7/7 (as it’s called) last year...

Unbelievable...

Total media overload today (and indeed over the last week or so) re this anniversary of a terrible event and I have nothing but sympathy for the victims (more so for the injured survivors whose lives have been ruined) but really, media, show some restraint and some respect before you turn everyone off...

And let’s have some perspective please re this so called “war on terror” or rather “War On Terror”...( http://www.jimpix.co.uk/words/terror.asp#conc)...

In the evening, “Coronation St”, “Law & Order” and another “Law & Order” on video then listened to The Beatles’ “Revolver” while reading the notes on each song in the superb book “Revolution in the Head” by the late Ian McDonald (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_MacDonald) with Meg the Black Cat lying beside me and purring...



A nice end to the day...

And for the second night running, I went to sleep without listening to any music...

Highlight of the Day : Meg the Black Cat’s purring
