Playlist
The usual...
Diary writing and music downloading and listening pre breakfast, including amending "Swan Songs" to 8 songs plus 5 bonuses, on the Bandcamp upload...
A nice selection of ECM jazz albums added to the library...
Breakfast...
...including a rare Wordle from Mr Quartet, the Exec Producer, who Wordles every day, having taken 6 goes...
I got the same result...
Another week begins and we are half way through December...
The EP was off uptown for some present buying so I decided to tag along...
Out and down the hill and a bus into town, accompanied by a very annoying phone on loudspeaker scenario from a complete dick up the back...
An hour after the pic above, having split up on Princes St, I was approaching Canonmills...
Nothing found and a bus then up to Morningside, where I met up with the EP...
Toasties and coffee at Pop for lunch..
...followed by a long walk from there all the way back to Shandwick Place for the bus home...
Of course chazzas were explored...
Three purchases made - as was a note of this place offering a very good deal for lunch...
In May 1980, Capital Models recorded the "Breaking Silence " EP here...
...at Barclay Towers - the Cupula at the top was the control room...
Bus to the bottom of the hill and a walk up and home for ripping and listening...
This for £1, although I was sure I already had it...
But, no...
Result!!
People on my timelines are always banging on about Alan Parsons...
This for £2...
My opinion that, just because someone pressed “record” on a tape machine while Pink Floyd were recording “Dark Side of the Moon”, doesn’t mean they might make good music, was, upon listening, proven to be correct...
And, although everybody knows, there's no place for vocals in jazz, took a chance on this from 1958...
It has to be said that the guitar playing is stellar...
An instrumental version would be good...
A "Chicago PD" before Anne headed for Pilates and I set about recording and uploading the podcast...
On Anne's return, baked potatoes and 120 scored on "University Challenge"..
Listening to the podcast while Anne watched "Corrie"...
Then, two episodes of "Bones" before bed...
Highlight of the Day: Not already having "Blaxploitation"...
