Hey, it's Tuesday...
...and I'm up...
...and looking at clocks...
..because time is waiting in the wings as Mr Bowie once sang...
Now we are into December...
The beast was about its business in the kitchen...
...getting some coffee...
...and noting recent progress being made by the Exec Producer...
After an unfortunate mishap last week, which resulted in coffee flying everywhere in the room of the beast and much cleaning up having to be done, the kitten mug is now deemed safe while the "great big" mug is not deemed stable enough for the beast to be trusted with it...
Later, with the EP up, breakfast...
...followed by WFH under good skies, albeit outside while I was inside...
Music wise, today I enjoyed the "copied from the library" digital version of Eno's "Music For Installations" and hoped the actual thing might form an Xmas present from the EP - we'll see...
A list has been compiled...
Listened too to a recent new arrival - a Hindemith disc, which contains pieces he wrote as a joke, apparently - pastiches of music which he found to be substandard...
The joke has not worn well across the decades...
Oh well...
The listening to classical pieces written during my lifetime (one a year) project continued too, with works by Haas, Rihm, Luther Adams and Corigliano being enjoyed much more than Hindemith's jokes...
Some downloading too of quite a few recordings featuring the Jack Quartet, stumbled across during my search of modern classical music - it is they who feature on the Luther Adams disc, which will probably end up on my albums of the year list...
Also enjoyed a couple of early albums featuring guitarists Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner...
"Detroit" (w/Steve Hunter) contains a version of the Velvets' "Rock'n'Roll", on which the arrangement is the same as Alice Cooper's latest single...
Then "Ursa Major" (w/Dick Wagner)., on which "Stage Door Queen" contains elements of "Wish You Were Here" from "Alice Cooper Goes to Hell"...
There you go...
Later on "Holby" continued to kind of entertain but not greatly...
Of course we cannot give up on it now...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : Music...
