And so, June is gone, in fact half the year is gone...

But back to the here and now...

Up...


Writing this...

Doing other stuff...

Breakfast...




Whittled 1994 to 80...


Discovered the Godspeed You! Black Emperor demo tape from 1994 I downloaded the other day is a fake - so, after some research as to the actual tracks used, I retagged it as a Various Artists comp and renamed it...

But it has lead me deeper into the Canadian post rock scene, so it's all good...

I listened to my own two albums from 1994, "Windfall Star" and "Kernelcrux" - seems like yesterday I was doing these, not 27 years ago...

Small birds were mostly the order of the day at the feeding station...




...and an unpictured Fang popped by a couple of times...

Mid morning, a box arrived - only ordered yesterday - as my current Sennheisers have developed a fault in the lead due to me tripping over the wire one too many times...

Despite this superficial damage...



..the phones themselves were great - christened them with "Billion Dollar Babies"...


Today, I also created a new shorter version of Capital Models' attempt at Sparks' "Number One Song in Heaven" and amended our rendition of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" from Sunday to the correct tempo...

Successful work - sent out to the team...

Meanwhile, in the living room, The Shelf currently houses the last 96 acquisitions - of these, only 12 are not from Charity Shops...


What a time to be alive...

A "Better Call Saul" at lunchtime and a very tasty indeed curry from Anne for tea...


...followed by our watching the last three episodes of "BCS", taking us up to fifty...

We have to wait until sometime next year to watch the final 13, which will comprise Season Six...

Now what are we going to watch?

Late on, back to Bandcamp and wrote up the credits and liner notes for "Haydn"...

Noticed a slight glitch in the remix I did earlier this month - looks like I will need to fix that...

But, for now, lights out...

Highlight of the Day : New headphones - no, wait, Anne's curry...
