Enjoyed ex-Rheostatic, Martin Tielli’s second solo album first thing, having stayed up till 2 am last night reading about this band on the net and contemplating new releases which include input from Tielli as well as a new solo album out next month from his former cohort Dave Bidini...
In the inbox first thing, a freshly concocted remix of the opening track of CBQ’s “Soundingfall”, “So Long Kid” by Edward Spark – which I will post up shortly for your listening delight...
It’s an instrumental version but I know he’s working on a few others for which he is also in possession of the acapella vocal lines – so looking forward to that...
Spent the rest of the morning and a bit of the early afternoon reinstalling the router to the internet set up at Crispycat Towers – we’ve been using a dial up modem since “The Great PC Twatting of Spring 2005” – and I hope a similar twatting will not result this time...
On the upside, Anne seems now able to access, quickly and effectively, all the sites she needs...
The previously crowded table now looks a bit tidier, the external hard drives and DVD drive now slotting in nicely below the keyboard...
In footie, our favourite Hearts player, Robbie Neilson (who spent a year or so on loan playing for Queen of the South) is leaving at the end of the season to play in the Championship at Leicester City – I wonder how he’ll fare against ex-Queens favourite Stephen Dobbie, who is off to Swansea City...
Dobbs scored 47 goals in 83 games for Queens – so now of course I’ll need to keep an eye on Swansea next season...
Spent more time in the afternoon listening to Rheostatics before leaving the house for the first time at 6pm to collect an Indian Takeaway – half a main course each only though, as we are so fat...
“Robin Hood” was reasonable tosh as usual while an old “Law & Order” also entertained...
Best show of the night though, was part two of a series entitled “The Birth of British Music” which featured the life and work of Joseph Haydn, concentrating on his two periods spent in London at the end of the 18th century...
A fairly low key day ended with a “live” “Law and Order”...
Highlight of the Day : Getting the router to work – even though I have no idea what I did to do so...
