Just did the washing up listening to late junction in a Murakami style.

It's comforting discovering that woodwind players are the radicals in an orchestra, and the flautists are away with the faeries.

Haha - the poor brass players do get it in the neck. More insights - "Some further analyses showed that aloofness was particularly apparent in cellists and that viola players tend to be more emotionally stable than other string players." Article is available here - www.jstor.org/stable/40317...

Observations on brass players from the 'Personality Differences between the Players of String, Woodwind, Brass and Keyboard Instruments, and Singers' article published in The Report of the Eighth International Seminar on Research in Music Education (Spring - Summer, 1981).

Looking good, was going to pick you up on the non-ISO date format then realised you're playing the long game.

Did you do the voices? When I read it to my kids the hobbits were from Penzance & the elves all had been to public school. I did skip the songs, but still took an entire summer of evenings.

Enjoyed that very much, lovely chime in there.

Rest, rest, for evermore
Upon a mossy shore

Post some zen to the feed

A rare transcendental gig experience on Tuesday night: harmonium, bowed hammer dulcimer, bowed double bass & Lisa O'Neill on nylon strung guitar. For a brief period everything slowed & elevated. What a sound.

Recently I visited parents & they had it on (with its classic beige 70s feel) and it was great fun. Filed away with Ask the Family.

And if that isn't enough of a draw, it's a seated auditorium.

Due to circumstances etc... I have a spare ticket for Lisa O'Neill tonight at the Lighthouse in Poole. Free to a good home.

That is sad news, it's a great book. Really enjoyed his Thank You and OK! too.

It's good, but it isn't a dying boiler playing Brötzmann

Whenever I see this I wonder whether I've remembered to recommend Vince Clarke's Lamentations of Jeremiah to Kirkdale, but then have concerns that the timbre may disturb the pamphlets & periodicals.

So good. I bought the CNT They Shall Not Pass compilation to get both tracks on vinyl. The peak of their peak years.

Lovely. One of my best sounding LPs is a blue note tenor sax comp.

What did you select to test it?

I have always had a soft spot for

I wrote a poem on a dog biscuit
And your dog refused to look at it

I think we're the same age.. and the actual album I should have nominated was The Shamen's Drop, loved their garage psych era. Fond memories of GBOA too.

I was struggling to find a contemporary album, would have been Perfect Prescription but that was sold out everywhere.

White Light White Heat by the Velvet Underground. Loved it - bought the VU kinky boot book cover T Shirt & wore it to death.

Share an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

Great shout, as that's taken mine would be Resurrection Joe 🖤

RIP Ralph. Time to give this a listen.
