Started the day looking for any albums featuring Ronnie James Dio which I don’t have – consequently a couple of auctions on e-bay are being watched...

Discovered the new Alice Cooper album is up for streaming on his Myspace site so I recorded that and burnt it to a CD...

Here's his brain as depicted in 3D by Salvador Dali in 1973...



I will of course buy the album on its release on 29 July...



We drove down The Shore Bar in Leith (soundtracked by the Coop) and lunched at the bar where we enjoyed brother-in-law Keith’s wedding seven weeks ago (already – jeez time flies when you’re busy doing nothing of any consequence)...



Walked around the area before returning home to a sunny garden...



Inside, I compiled a “one track from each of his 25 CDs” disc by Alice Cooper then worked out that his entire studio output lasts for 17 hours 40 minutes and 35 seconds and comprises 258 songs...

In my schooldays, I’d occasionally spend a day listening to the Alice Cooper Group’s entire output chronologically in one day – of course at that point there were only 7 albums rather than 25...

To do it now you’d need to start at five thirty in the morning and listen till around midnight...

I’ll keep you posted...

Also today I sorted out my Jazz and Classical CDS and my various artist compilations – so the CD library is now in good order again...

No dinner today following our big lunch and, in the evening I remembered I’d laid out my Françoise Hardy box set yesterday to upload to the Jukebox – so I did this and found this great site which enabled me to compile a fanboy collection into a playlist...



Of the 96 tracks, I am missing 22 despite having hundreds of her songs on CD - so more trawling on e-bay for these obscure rarites...



An old episode of “CSI” entertained before returning to the Françoise Hardy project to round off the day...



She's 64 now and, while still atractive, she was especially so in her youth...



...feted as she was in the 1960's by the likes Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Peter Sellars and Peter O'Toole....



Lovely...

Highlight of the Day : Lunch at The Shore...
