Door attack...

Playlist
Various - Current Top 100 Albums* (Shuffleplay)

My top 100 continued to entertian hugely, throwing up quality tracks on Radio Dave in my head throughout the day...

But it almost wasn't to be...

An accident, involving my headphones and the living room door, resulted in the former being pulled violently from my ears and, in the case of the left plug, the speaker being ripped off completely...

Accordingly, after a search around for any pair of any quality, a very poor sound indeed was endured on the journey into town...

To HMV at lunctime and the problem was solved by the purchase of a new pair of wee beauties by Sennheiser - in fact two sets were partaken of to ensure a back up for any future headphone-by-living-room-door-ripping-out scenarios...

A happy wee man was pictured on the bus home...



Elsewhere, to the gym tonight for the fourth day in a row - legs were on their, erm, last legs but I soldiered on...

Back home a Tivo'd "Law & Order" and a real time "CSI" (the red shirt one) entertained...

Late on, more music listening with Meg the Black Cat in the back room...



Highlight of the Day : New headphones

Hi David, the Deus record is a cracker!

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...

Indeed it is - enjoying your Sour Grapes music on your myspace site as I type - especially "Sound Field 1", "Slow Blues 1" and "Slow Blues 2"...

Thanks for stopping by...

Sour Grapes said...

Thanks for the kind words - Slow Blues 1 & 2 i'd love to go back and finish properly. Soundfield was me attempting to be Robert Fripp for an afternoon. Ive returned the favour, and have been enjoying your tunes on myspace as well. If we didn't live a world apart I'd say lets have a jam!

Nothing to stop us from doing that - in fact I played some of your beatless stuff last weekend over some of the rhythms I've been looping and it sounded good...
