Friday...

Up...


Today was an Alice Cooper day...


The new album was out today...


Coffee...


...and, while listening to Alice over the last 10 years, uploading the new CBQ LP to Bandcamp - out next Friday...


At lunchtime, taking a CD box set to the post office to send it back as it arrived with only 4 of the 8 CDs it ought to have had within...

I'm in a dispute with the seller over a refund of the postage cost to return it, as they did not check the product (a) before listing and (b) before shipping...

Don't see why I should pay £3.20 for nothing...


In the afternoon, this arrived...


It rocks...


Later this evening, I watched the DVD which came with it...

It was almost like being there...




Here's Alice with his wife (right) and daughter (left)...





He was, of course, beheaded...





...and his head held up to the baying crowd, before her returned for the encore...



Great stuff...

Other new music today was suggested by Ethan Iverson, ex of The Bad Plus - Kirk Franklin; bass chum from Kittery in Maine - Wadada Leo Smith; Prog Rock Willie - April Rain; and me, Sparkplug...

Some Prosecco tonight as Anne's pension payments started from a previous employer while she continues to work...


And a tasty home mad curry for tea...


...before recording this weekend's podcast - or the first two hours anyway - as Anne raged about yet another draw for the JTs...

Uh oh...

Highlight of the Day : New Alice, new music...
