“I genuinely enjoy all kinds of music - I don’t really have a preference, I feel like good music is good music...”
This is a quote from David King interview I was directed to today by The Bad Plus website – David is their drummer....
His comment struck a chord with me...
I thought I might go out today but the weather was rubbish again so I stayed in and spent far too much time on the net...
Purely by chance I found several sites from which I was able to download full albums for free – I’m sure this is entirely illegal...
I downloaded music by Phil Manzanera, Can, David Bowie, Joanna Newson, Golden Earring and Neu!...
Spurred on by the site where David King is interviewed, I found a new band I like (new to me that is) – Redstart....
David is not a member, but an ex-member of a group David is in (Happy Apple) is a member...
Anyway, they are good and I downloaded five excellent tracks from their site...
Anne was out and about most of the day while I was doing this...
In the evening we did the old computer/TV swap as I surfed while she watched “Strictly Come Dancing” and she surfed while I watched “Robin Hood”..
We watched the lottery draw together through our fingers as we’d forgotten to buy a ticket..
As usual, none of our, ahem, “lucky” numbers emerged...
Finished the night with the film “Johnny English” – hilarious in parts but ruined by the interminable ad breaks...
Highlight of the Day : Finding “free” music everywhere...
