Up late again...


Updating this, whilst listening to the music of 1971...


WFH...

The Random LP of the Day was this 1981 collection by The Tubes, the full title being "Tubes Rarities and Smash Hits" - there are a few of the former and a couple of the latter - all in all, an enjoyable listen - which happened yesterday as I forged ahead...





A kind of muhroom "soup" for lunch and an episode of "The Umbrella Academy", following a trip to the office...


...and followed by a trip to another office...




Home for more WFH...

I thought about just choosing 110 minutes of randomness from the entire 800 days of music on the hard drives...

I played the majority through and it was enjoyable...

Tasty tea tonight, unpictured chicken and chips but including the masterstroke of Baked Beans...

I trawled through Classical Box Sets on Amazon with a view to purchasing something or other but refrained, despite a basket of stuff having been compiled...

Instead, I downloaded some far out jazz and the complete piano works of Percy Grainger...

As you do...

I have not bought any CDs so far this year (although Brian Eno's "Rams" will arrive "automatically" at the end of the month, having been ordered in December)...

I am making a, no doubt doomed to failure, effort this year only to buy actual CDs of music I actually want rather than just what takes my fancy or which is at a stupid price...

In the USA, "unprecedented" stupidity from Trump and his supporters - he needs to be impeached...again...now...

Entirely coincidentally, I chose an LP to listen to in the back room whilst perusing some art books - Kansas' "Song for America"...

Apt...


Here I am with my stupid, big headphones (but not my stupidest, biggest headphones) on, worrying about democracy...


Meanwhile, Anne painted on...


 Nearly done...

Like Trump...

We ended the day with episode 8 of season 2 of "The Umbrella Academy"...

Two to go, I think...

Highlight of the Day : Not buying any CDs...
