Fly me to the moon...

Playlist
Various – Tracks for Celebratory 10CD Set
Culture – Two Sevens Clash
Brian Eno – Apollo
Art Pepper – The Return of Art Pepper
Impossible Songs – Intermittent Stimuli

Owya – up not quite as early as planned and so we missed the 10:40 showing of the new Duncan Jones movie, “Moon”...

Saw Jim Kerr on the TV though, talking about last night’s gig...

Out to the Cameo for the 1:30 screening and this was a brilliant film – totally recommended if you’re into thought provoking, rather than shoot ‘em up CGI’d Sci-Fi – think “2001”, “Silent Running”, “Dark Star”...



Here’s the trailer...



An absolute pleasure – music by Pop Will Eat Itself’s Clint Mansell was good too and a nice touch by the management to have Eno’s “Apollo” as the pre-film soundtrack as we sat waiting for the show to begin...

Forgot to mention – I was driving for the first time in six weeks – and we stopped off at Sainsbury on the way home and picked up some nice burgers and relish for late lunch/early dinner – cooking them together back at home to the groovy sounds of Art Pepper...



...and ate them as we watched Tom Watson throw away the open...



Meg the Black cat was not impressed...



Whilst doing the dishes afterwards, managed to break the handle off my unfeasibly large “fish” cup which has featured in a few pics over the years here – so it’s all over for that particular piece of crockery – also managed to slash my left thumb open – any excuse to get Anne to finish the dishes...

Fraday's "Law & Order : Criminal Intent" made it all better...

Listened to Impossible Songs new album and was making notes to send to them when I accidentally deleted the document – very annoying – the LP is good though...

Finished the day writing this up whilst listening to Eno again and then watching the very funny Dara O'Briain on BBC2 - an edited version of the show we saw a couple of years back at the Playhouse...

Highlight of the Day : Moon
