Uploaded the new podcast - and listened through during the course of the day - fine and dandy....

A trawl around some charity shops in Dalry today ended with a few £1 and £2 purchases...

This from The Who from 1967 - not up to what the likes of The Move, The Beatles or Simon and Garfunkel were producing contemporaneously but OK...


Turns out I already have the remaster, with bonus tracks, somewhere on a hard drive - no doubt illegally downloaded some time ago while I was bringing back into the collection albums I used to own - as this was one...

A couple of not previously owned Bob Dylans...



...on which, for much of the time, his voice had reverted to the unaffected vocalising of his pre-fame recordings...

Some good moments on both...

As there are on this - never a fan of Rod the Mod but, again, I used to have this and it was only 99p in the Sally Army shop...


On the way home, the Exec Producer's recent campaign aimed at the council, to have the environs of Crispycat Towers properly attended to by their gardening squads, had borne considerable fruit...

This used to be a jungle...



Nice one EP!

Tasty chilli for tea, then, while Anne enjoyed televised sports I listened to music - the new acquisitions and some prompted items...

Randy Pie re an album sourced from the net that was once owned - funky krautrock...

Eugene McDaniels' funky classic "Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse", again sourced from the net and inspired by a track from last night's Eddie Harris listening, on which he was the featured vocalist (even though there's no place for vocals in jazz)...

The Nice covering a Bob Dylan track featured on "Self Portrait"...

ELP were The Nice with better players...

Nucleus, just because...

Eddie Harris, Miroslav Vitous, Passport, Billy Cobham, Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea as they featured on a long forgotten 2LP compilation shown on Sid Smith's timelines as constituting what was, for him, jazz in 1974...

King Crimson, following some posts by their Adrian Belew on The Fleecebook re his unceremonious ejection form the band after 33 years of service...

Finally, to bed with Rod Stewart - not literally thank goodness...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Anne's chilli...
