My Chemical Romance – I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love
Up early as usual at the weekend but, as you can see, failed miserably to record the antics of a local seagull attempting to feed on a wayward bone in our neighbours’ back garden...
Three weeks since I was at the library with Dr Prog and so I needed to return the Killers, Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Tortoise CDs...
Drove into town, dropping Anne off at the pampering salon on the way, and parked at “The Saturday Place” over on the East Side beneath Arthur’s Seat and walked into town having called Dr Prog to arrange the meet at the library...
On the way, I stopped in at the Oxfam shop and bought far too many compilation CDs (see today’s playlist) and a disc from My Chemical Romance...
There are probably around fifty or so tracks on these compilations which I wanted to have in the collection, so that probably justifies the eight quid outlay...
Arrived at the library later than I’d expected due to the elongated browse at Oxfam – I took the route past the University Buildings where I wasted so much time not studying but trawling record shops and, consequently, failing exams at the very height of Punk Rock....
I failed to study enough in the building on the right and just plain failed in the building on the left – oh well...
Dr Prog was already in situ when I finally made the library and he had a very large bundle of world music CDs and DVDs in his hand ready for a-borrowing..
For my own sins – although goodness knows I hardly need more music in the house - I took a loan of discs featuring the works of Dittersdorf, Manfredi and Pergolesi along with Robert Wyatt’s latest “Comicopera” and, inspired by the inclusion of his “Down in the Park” on the various artists CD “OK Computer” I got with Uncut or Mojo whilst on Arran, a Gary Numan Greatest Hits disc – I remember having “Replicas” when it first came out and the works of Mr Numan have a place in my collection – indeed I’m listening to “Cars” as I type this drivel...
We popped along to a nearby café and enjoyed a sandwich and coffee each – here’s the good doctor pondering his choice...
Then down to Richer Sounds for the Dr to replenish his Blank Mini-Disc supplies....
We said our farewells and headed in opposite directions – I called Anne to find out if I ought to bring any sustenance home, only to find she’d had an accident with a glass and sliced open one of the knuckles on her right hand – owya!!
Back home, her hand looked pretty bad and extremely painful...
She relaxed watching football, though her Setanta subscription was causing her annoyance as it just switched off for no apparent reason – she finally got through to them around 11 pm to have it fixed, having missed her beloved Craig Gordon letting in three for Sunderland against Liverpool...
For my own part, I listened to music and enjoyed Queen of the South making it to the last eight of the Scottish Cup for the second year in a row...
Ended the day with telly – “Primeval”, last night’s “Moving Wallpaper/Echo Beach” and “Al Murray” then “CSI : New York” and, finally, “Sportscene”, including highlights of the mighty Queens’ win against Morton (2-0 away from home)...
A good day apart from Anne’s hand injury...
Highlight of the Day : Last eight for QoS again...

Tubeway Army huh? Saw Gary Newman at some festival in London in 1996 when he was singing his new stuff. Everyone talked all through that (it was rubbish) and then he struck up 'Cars' and everyone was on their feet in a minute and singing along.....there's a message there I feel....Hope Anne's hand is feeling better.

PS what's all this about failing exams...I thought you were always VERY clever.....!
Re yours on Gaz - that's why it's better never to have been successful - you are not held in the audience's cage of expectation regarding your future setlists...
Re failure - I was clever but not clever enough to pass exams without doing the coursework or studying for the exams - I did accrue a rather large record collection though...
