Another cold, crisp day...



HMV at lunchtime did not tempt...

In the evening, I was not anywhere near on fire during “University Challenge” but enjoyed it nonetheless...

“Law & Order : UK” kept up its high standards...

The rest of the evening was spent burning discs of albums, some of which have been on the hard drive waiting for more than a year to take on physical form...

The tasty morsels coming forth from the disc drive featured the following...

Madredeus singer Teresa Salgueiro, Californian nouveau-proggers Astra, the late Richard Wright, Larry Coryell’s mid 70’s fusion outfit Eleventh House...

New discovery from Maine, Sumner McKane, Jason Lytle’s recent free download of piano improvs, a classic early 70’s Focus LP, a download only live album by the much maligned Coldplay...

The Buggles all but forgotten second album, classic jazz from the Blue Note vaults by Jackie McLean, live sets from Fiona Apple and Roy Harper...

Radiohead’s last album, classic synth work from Edgar Froese in the studio and his band Tangerine Dream from the stage, top krautrock from Roedelius and Harmonia, cracking dub from The Revolutionaries...

...and, last but absolutely not least, two rockin’ late career albums from the mighty Grand Funk...

Ooof...

Highlight of the Day : Burning...
