Up early and recording for (my own) posterity, the last 100 physical acquisitions - September 2014-January 2015...
..which comprise the content of "The Shelf"...
Out to pick up Dr Prog and into town - soundtracked by the very welcome "Welcome" by Santana - from a time before they turned to shit - Anne was making a separate journey to meet up with chum Lesley for a long leisurely lunch...
Meanwhile, Dr Prog and I trawled the charity shops...
He did not buy this 5LP box of Sibelius' symphonies, fearing a less than supportive reaction from Mrs Prog (even though it only required the giving up of three of your English pounds)...
Your correspondent purchased four items, three outlined below plus an Imagebank Retrospective disc of imahges from 1900 to 1970 - don't ask...
Post a tasty lunch at the Mosque kitchen, down to Blackwell's Books and the Doc partook of a Mendelssohn BluRay/SACD double disc - everything, of course, checked on his phone...
Dr of prog and professor of technology...
To Stag in Victoria Street for coffee, the Doc also enjoying a slice of cake...
Despite his seeming technological expertise, whilst trying to recommend to him the music of Bend Sinister, I had to eventually ask "are you actually on the internet??"
We did not visit the exhibition upstairs...
Out and, finally, despite having tried to avoid it, because we already both have far too much music, to the Music Library...
This concert tonight was noted but was not attended...
Having borrowed a few items, we walked back to the car, through the University campus...
I took the Doc home, where he very kindly gifted me an absolutely top notch Nakamichi DR-8 Cassette Deck...
...which I hope soon to apply to the myriad tapes in the loft - but, no doubt, this will be a project which falls by the wayside...
Home around 4 with no sign of the leisurely lunching Exec Producer...
My charity shop haul today comprised a 2CD Chicago best of - this, like the Santana from the other day, may well provide proof that too much success and money can kill your music - no chance of that re Mr CBQ...
James Morrison, for sentimental reasons - the track "I Won't Let You Go" was a favourite of sister Pam and her best chum Debbie during Pam's, ultimately fatal, illness in 2011...
...and a reworking/covering of the Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" albums by such luminaries as The Pineapple Thief, Matt Berry (Steven Toast), John Foxx and The Orb...
And, borrowed from the library, were two 3CD boxes of avant garde recordings made between 1960 and 1973...
..and a 27 disc box of, it would appear, every single note Fela Kuti ever recorded...
Late afternoon, during which Queens managed a 1-1 draw at Falkirk - pulling back from a penalty loss in the first 20 minutes, with Falkirk missing a second penalty and Queens reduced to ten men for the final part of the game and "under the cosh" in football parlance, was spent ripping and listening...
Later on, last night's "The Musketeers" entertained, accompanied by some tangy home made soup from the now returned EP and followed by episodes 3 & 4 of the new series of "Spiral" - top TV...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : Out with the doc...
