Up relatively late...

Morning Monday morning...

Another day of attempted recovery...

 Plus meetings and trip prep...

It’s all go...


...including finalising all the daily sections to be featured while we're away...


...the seventeen of which will take me to number 96...

Daily Section 79 of 432 was section 259, composers from Satie to Schoenberg, coincidentally two whom I’ve covered in my classical series...




 Anyway, choices were viola da gamba sonatas from Schenck, chamber music by Schelb and string quartet based material by Schneider...

 Interesting!


The beast was in its (actually its Exec Producer's) chair...


..using its new Blutooth earbuds...


...and surveying its remaining LP/12" collection...


I was still ill and needed something to try and sort my blocked sinuses out...


Suffice to say it was horrible!


My breakfast also looked horrible but tasted very nice indeed...


Fang popped by...


For the poll re 5 Albums of 1985, my initial 81 nominations (including inevitable errors!) ...




Were honed today to these 50...



Over the course of the next 6 days (while we are away - so I had done the choosing already), would be further honed to 30...


...20...


...10...


...and, finally, the (my) Top 5...


Eno had to be No 1 really - given it was the recording that "forced" me to switch from vinyl to CD...

Also, released today on Bandcamp, recorded 25 years and three days ago, the 4th improv session by Creek...


A 30 minute EP, out of circulation for decades...


Nice...


And, “the car’s on fire, there’s no driver at the wheel"...

A great comp from #Kranky - one of my listening choices from a couple of days ago - just getting round to it today...

And so, goodnight everybody...



Highlight of the Day : New old Creek...
