Sunday. Sunday is good. Or can be...
Started the day with Creek...
“Fake Leopard Coat” is the precursor to the re-release of my, Sparky, Cobblers and Brodski's Edinburgh Electronic Improvisational Quartet’s 1997-2022 back catalogue, throughout 2022…
That's the plan anyway...
2004 LP here...
Out to do my mum's shopping...
...and back 38 minutes later...
Scenes...
Breakfast...
More work today on Lou's reviled LP...
I created an 8 hour version of it....
Having read up on how it was created, I used the CD as a source to isolate the left and right channels of each side of the 2LP set and slowed them down to hear what was actually “played”. Fascinating and eminently listenable…
It turns out the source material was actually recorded around the time of "Loaded" by the Velvets (1970) and Atlantic were looking to put it out under a pseudonym and say it was an electronic classical piece!
Full story (if you believe Lou of course) in this interview from 1975/6...
Anyway, later, out to my mum's - all ok, considering - legs, of course, a worry...
Then, over to Jane and Bobby's for 3pm for another Xmas re-enactment, this time with the whole family (bar a hungover Arianne)...
I had a few too many of these it seems...
Jane's Gin collection is impressive...
As was, of course, the food...
...which I seemed to forget to eat...
As a consequence of this surfeit of gin and prosecco based cocktails and lack of food, I was deemed very much "the worse for wear"...
To which this family portrait, which now adorns Mary's sideboard, may well attest...
Despite this, a good night indeed...
Home and asleep on the settee by around 9:30...
Oh dear...
Highlight of the Day : Party at Jane & Bob's...
