A packed soundtrack today, as I continued with my project of "listening to the previously unheard" re a playlist of tracks acquired so far in 2016 which remain, as yet, unlistened to...

The views from the office this morning...

...with apologies for slight bluriness in this but felt it was still ok...

At lunchtime, in HMV, this spotted - acquired on Saturday for a charitable donation of four of your English pounds (ok so not technically a donation)...

Purchased this, which is due out on Friday according to schedules...

Disappointingly, this has just 37 tracks and lasts 90 minutes in total...

Here's the "Got/Not Got" tally...

Some tracks do sound better than the versions I already own though - he says trying to justify the £5 outlay...

Also, partook of Stockhausen's "Mantra" on Naxos - only to discover later I'd bought it back in 2013...

Nice...

Back home, a Twitter discussion on the merits or otherwise of The Grateful Dead...

Here's my impersonation of their logo...

I am not contemplating a tattoo...

On telly, "Marcella" continued to entertain...

And this week's podcast line up was kind of finalised...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Buying a collection of tracks I already have...
