Up...



...and started the day with a podcast from 9 weeks ago...

I like listening back to these as I've always forgotten what I might have chosen or said...

It's like me giving myself insights into my own musical taste...

A track from my "Satie" LP from June just popped up...

The new "Cage" album, out on Friday, is slightly less "accessible"...

Uh oh...

Then, took a listen to the new album from Betts in Japan - I will be purchasing it on Friday for August's "Bandcamp Day"...

Today's classical piece, of the 100 I've been playing, was Gorecki's 3rd Symphony - a very big seller indeed - and by one of my favourite "bands", the London Sinfonietta...


Started this "project" on 29 April, with Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and will end it tomorrow with the most up to date of the 100, which harks back to that first disc..

You can see all the selectons here - albeit in reverse order...

Today's random LP was M's “Official Secrets”, from 1980...


The Exec Producer bought it for me on 11 April 1981...


 It's the follow up to “New York London Paris Munich”...


I recall there was a VHS tape with a full set of videos too...

Robin Scott was ahead of his time...

Excellent but virtually unknown...


Downstairs, Anne's painting is coming along nicely...


...and a squirrel was out and about...




More scenes captured...


..including explaining to Twitterchums how the new filing system works...

From top left : classical music magazine CDs, CD singles A-Z, rock & pop, which includes funk soul & reggae, A-Z. Far right bottom two are my own music & some home made compilations...


The other side has various artist comps, classical composers A-Z, classical artists A-Z & classical compilations, jazz A-Z & jazz compilations...


Also, box sets on the shelves...


...a small collection of discs whose packaging doesn’t fit the new boxes...


...and three crates of card sleeve discs, such as promos etc and a plethora of “illegal burns” from before I started just leaving downloaded stuff...


 ...on the (9) hard drives...


Once again than, loads before breakfast...




Some pics re trying to locate the source of annoying water...



Didn't really find it but I did find I currently have 189 studio albums which were released in 1973...


Posting that pic and asking "How many have you got and what are your faves?  What's missing that ought to be in here? (Rules - of course - no live and no compilations)", elicited a decent response...

Tasty Mexican tea from the ever resourceful EP...



...although she later dropped some of her jelly dessert on the floor...


What's this?



...a visit from Fang...




Later, to decorating the boxes, soundtracked by these...


A third double row done. Two to go. Hopefully, done by the weekend..


...and the room will be "finished"...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : The Mexican tea...
