It's definitely Autumn now...

Playlist


Listening to "Keepsake" over night.  Kept waking up, putting it on and falling asleep again after one or two tracks...

Up at 6:20 and the back up of four drives was done and dusted...


Now I need to keep those up to date  - and get another hard drive for a back up of a further four drives...

This is how I spend my Bandcamp gains!

Finished off the new LP listen then, sorting a glitch I'd noticed in the first track - done...

Good video from Ex Physics House Band Adam Znaidi re how Spotify people can direct listeners to Bandcamp...

Finding new music - Martin Stürtzer, IDLES, Robert Glasper, Sparks, Adam Znaidi, 65 Days of Static, Luo, Frank Zappa, Steve Jansen, Nils Petter Molvaer etc etc

Listening to Physics House Band...

Breakfast...


Creating a "no interviews" version of "Keepsake"...

Listening to "Fly From Here" by Yes - as a reissue is imminent...

Listening to the "no interviews" version of "Keepsake"...

This prompted some work on the interviews with my mum, which came to nothing, then, another rehearsal of the full piece...

Anne returned...

Lunch and a "Cold Case"...

Listening to some new music then, Uriah Heep's "Sweet Freedom", released on this day in 1973...

Jane arrived to watch a film with Anne downstairs...

Upstairs I listened to "Keepsake" once again...

Rehearsed "I Re-Arranged the House", which, if I gain a slot, I'll play tomorrow night at the 800th Out of the Bedroom Open Mic night - where I first played in February 2003.  That song was one of the first I wrote specifically to play there...


...and, then, listened to my own 2024 remaster of Alice Cooper's 1970 LP, "Easy Action" - I love it to death...


Then, this...


Downstairs, the film finished, I joined the ladies for chat, mainly about Jane trying to find a venue for a 30 attendee "ladies' lunch" to celebrate her upcoming 60th...

Discussions involved the consumption of crisps, wine and an Orange Gin & Tonic each - the ladies already having enjoyed cakes, crisps and wine with the film...


On her exit, I made my own tea, Quorn Pepper Steaks with beans...


To listening to new music into the collection today - a 3 track EP from Dar Williams, who we were going to see next month in Glasgow but her UK dates were cancelled due to a clash with a medical scenario she's facing...

Whilst listening, I rearranged the top row of books...


Later, coffee...


...and a poached egg on toast for Anne's tea...




More listening to new music, IDLES...


...as sales rolled in for the Crazy Wisdom EPs...

This evening, wearing this instead of my football togs as the game was cancelled due to lack of numbers...

It's definitely Autumn now...


On telly, the current stapes of "Cold Case" and "Friday Night Dinner"...

That was it...

Highlight of the Day : A visit from Jane
