As ever...
Up early and writing this and gathering new things...
I am currently making my way through my podcasts from 2016, listening last thing at night and first thing in the morning and the podcast today set me looking to see if there was any new music by Sleep Research Facility - a glacial ambient sound from a fellow Glaswegian - I found an LP I didn't have and a few tracks on comps which I've gathered together...
Scenes from the room...
Breakfast...
...accompanied by this, seen the other day in Fopp and now in the digital collection...
Nice...
1983's top ten announced (mine, that is)...
Around 11, out for a coffee with unpictured Anne and Lynn, fresh from their Zumba exertions...
Home for lunch and a "Blacklist", then, Anne was off out with Jane and their mum...
I decided to rearrange the shelves re setting up the wee CD player to be ready to play through one of the two portable speakers at the proverbial drop of a hat - a long way off from the old living room set up, which used to be my best Hi Fi components (now in the computer room)...
This was quite good but perhaps unlikely to be acceptable to the Exec Producer...
So, this...
...during which I noted the batteries in the CD player needed to be recharged...
Disaster - on extracting them, one popped out unexpectedly and produced a small chip on the fireplace...
Gutted...
What soundtracked this nightmare, Dave?
A new collection from Einaudi...
...a recommendation from Twitter...
...and the aforementioned Sleep Research Facility...
Outside, the sky was good...
Some discussion re the content of original pressings of Eno's "Before and After Science" - it seems mine has a few extras...
Also this afternoon, having had all the tracks from Ricky Gervais' "After Life" in a playlist for around a year now, I decided finally to make it an actual thing in the collection - a virtual 4 hour 4CD set...
Tasty...
As was Anne's unpictured but duly scoffed, pasta based tea...
This evening, two more "Blacklist" followed episode 5 of "Jack Ryan" - still as convoluted as ever...
Late on, word arrived that Jeff Beck had died, somewhat unexpectedly, even though he was 78...
His re-released single "Hi Ho Silver Lining" and one of the tracks on its B Side, "Beck's Bolero" were staples for me back in late 1972...
I gave a few of his records a spin...
We still have them, even though we don't have him...
Such is the way with art...
Lights out, in more ways than one...
Highlight of the Day : New music...
