To HMV at lunchtime and a Vivaldi bassoon concertos CD found...
Looked it up on Amazon, as you do, to find many a customer review giving it one star and advising the bassoon playing was dreadful, out of tune, missed notes etc etc...
Played it back home and it did sound pretty rubbish...
Then I looked it up in the Penguin guide and they were praising it...
All of a sudden it sounded good...
Yep, that's how easy it is to influence me...
The evening was mostly spent ripping previously missed Eno albums, including various old home made compilations, into my iTunes...

...when I really ought to have been working on many other equally pointless projects like practising my singing and guitaring...
But very nice to listen to these influential tracks again...
Meanwhile, last night, (l-r) Michael Bruce, Vincent Furnier, Neal Smith and Dennis Dunaway - the four remaining members of the original Alice Cooper Group (RIP Glen Buxton) reunited for an 8 song set in a bookshop in Dallas, re a signing session for Mr Dunaway's new book on the band's glory days...

Now that's a show I'd have loved to have been at...
Review here...
Setlist...
Here's "School's Out" - current guitarist Ryan Roxie filled in for Glen Buxton and current bassist Chuck Garric added some harmonica...
Compare that to the Coop's full solo show in Dallas back in February - the guys on stage at the record store wrote these songs ("Ballad of Dwight Fry"/"Killer"/"I Love the Dead")...
A combination of the two is what those who were fans back in the early days would love to see, before it's too late...
Don't think it''ll happen though...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : Old Cooper and Eno stuff...
