Playlist
Up for a Friday of fun and a huge playlist today re (a) stuff sucked in that is new and (b) stuff that I bought later today...
Having done the #NewMusicFriday thing and, as ever, having surprised myself about how much potentially great music is being released each week that I really "must" have a listen to (plus breakfast), with Anne off uptown later for a long leisurely lunch, around 9:25, I headed down the hill...
...and...
...after a couple of mooted buses to that Glasgow very frustratingly disappeared off the "buses coming" screen, I was soon on my way to the Weedge...
...and, just over an hour later, was soon arriving in said Weedge...
...to start my adventure pre 11...
On to a number 6A...
...to the top of Byre's Road...
Before heading into the road which I've not visited for a good we while, I walked back a few yards from the bus stop to the Shelter Shop, where I found these beauties...
OK the Lully was issued with a 185 page book which is missing, but 3 CDs for £2? I'm in...
The Barenboim was also £2, for a box of 5 CDs. In all, outlay thus far stood at just £6...
Into the long street...
A further two £1 purchases at a shop half way down...
You don't often see a Glam comp with Gary Glitter on board but this was issued in 1989...
20 tracks, 18 number one hit singles...
And, a Mud comp for a quid? Why not...
Onwards...
Oxfam always has some outrageously priced stuff...
...but, barring one, all of these were just 99p - I got the whole lot for £10...
As regards the religious works, as an atheist, I enjoy these for the music per se. I’m very glad that misplaced beliefs have resulted in a lot of great music having been written over the ages…
...for a fairly hellish journey (due to roadworks) back to the centre...
...this, the content of my, now weighty, bag...
A quick bite to eat and, eschewing my usual haunts (Love, Missing, Fopp, Mono), I just headed back for the bus home, deciding I had probably bought and downloaded enough new music for one day...
Bus back to Corstorphine in the rain...
...and, alighting just after 3, a walk along to the White Lady...
...to meet up with an already been there since two and not drinking as Gary had the car and Bernie is no longer allowed to partake, for health reasons, Bernie and Gary for drinks and chat...
After around 90 minutes or so, the chaps departed...
Meanwhile Anne was on her way home and we managed to meet up to get a 26 up the hill...
Home before 5 and the ripping and listening began...
...along with taking the legs off the table for its (for me) sad removal tomorrow, after having been a staple in the house for a couple of decades at least - but Anne's refurb is reaching its grande finale...
Did I mention it was Friday?
Put the wee CD player through the HiFi tonight for the listening...
Nice...
...and some TV and some bed rounded off the day...
...which had been good...
Highlight of the Day: A trip to the Weedge...
