Various – Top 500 Albums 1959-2008
Soundtracked by my 50 top tens from 1959 to 2008 today...
Another very hot and sunny day...
To FOPP at lunchtime, first visit since the Glasgow branch last Saturday...
Acquired the soundtrack to “Elizabeth – The Golden Age” due to the participation of Craig Armstrong...
Also picked up the 25th anniversary remaster of Vangelis’ “Chariots of Fire”...
Finally, on the CD front, I took possession of Junior Murvin’s 1977 classic, “Police and Thieves”...
On the DVD front, a box set of Dr Who’s “Trial of a Timelord” – 14 episodes on 4 discs for just £3...
Total outlay? £11...
However, at the time of writing (Saturday mid-afternoon) I have yet to unwrap them due to other pressing matters...
This evening, met up with the Exec Producer for our first Fringe Show of 2009 – Stewart Lee’s “If You Want a Milder Comic Please Ask For One”...
Pre-show we partook of a very tasty Indian meal at Zest, just round the corner from the venue, The Stand...
Total outlay? Considerably more than that for the 3 CDs and 4 DVDs purchased earlier which, coincidentaly, will be with me for considerably longer...
Tasty nonetheless...
Of course I am hopeless at reviewing comedy shows but, suffice to say, Mr Lee’s show was extremely clever and very entertaining – if you caught his recent TV series “Comedy Vehicle” it was along those lines but possibly even better....
Suffice to say, Magner’s adverts and “Top Gear”’s Richard “The Hamster” Hammond (he’s not a real hamster) will never be the same again...
Back home reasonably early , taking in some evening views on the way...
"Reaper" and "The Loop" rounded off an evening of comedic wonder...
Highlight of the Day : Stewart Lee of course...

Hey there Mr.CBQ - I loved the Stewart Lee TV show. Quite brilliant and other-worldly (plus the fact that he's a KC fan isn't bad either!)
The third photograph down is brilliant. For reasons that aren't entirely clear the song I Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile leapt into my head. Love the spectral blue, the sense of setting sun and the limitless space between the air and the grasping reach of the building.
