[Saturday 3rd November 2018]


Tough day following on from an equally challenging Friday. Sparsely littering the darkness have been little sparkling gems of joy and, perhaps, the merest hint of  sprouting possibility. The new Suede album, 'The Blue Hour', from which this track comes, is proving to be some kind of reflection of life currently. Even if it wasn't, it is one of the most coherent albums I've heard in a long time. It's an album that begs to be listened to in one sitting and, so far, is a strong contender for my album of 2018, and there have been some good ones, but unless my memory deceives me - maybe with the exception of The Internet's album 'Hive Mind' - not much else comes close.

40th Anniversary of 'In the Land of Grey and Pink'

Image
A recent email from the Caravan Information Service alerted me to the imminent (30th May) release of a 40th Anniversary deluxe edition of 'In the Land of Grey and Pink'. Given all the extra tracks that were added to the remastered versions of the albums Caravan recorded for the DERAM (Decca) label, not to mention the extras surfaced on the 4CD Decca anthology ('The World is Yours') released last year, I did wonder what they could find to fill the 3 disc release. Well, there's not a huge amount of new material, however probably enough nuggets for the fan of the band or album.  Disc one contains a new remastering of the original album, plus an unreleased mix and two unreleased versions of tracks from the album.  Disc two includes some more unreleased versions and mixes, of which the version of 'Nigel Blows A Tune' is potentially the most interesting. The rest of this disc includes tracks recorded live for the BBC, which I believe are a...

There Is A War Going On

Image
There is a war going on. I can't seem to find a way to write about it in language that I feel comfortable with. It either comes out as a load of (ultimately meaningless) metaphors, cliches and over worn phrases or else it's just way too personal.  Stuff there is no one i can talk to about. At the moment. Or maybe ever could be. This has prevented me writing a post for several days. Day to day it can be a struggle: I have worked out that except when I am asleep or I am so overwhelmed with work that it consumes every spare cycle my brain has at its disposal (and even then "it" manages, on occasion, to hijack a thread that's not fully utilised)... only at those times can I be assured of any kind of peace. And I don't want work to have that power. Been there. Done that. Have no desire to go back there again. So it is with music that freedom comes. Not always. Sometimes music doesn't have the power to take over rather it just ends up reflecting or r...

Tales From The Crypt - Saturday 6th November 2021

Image
Normal start to Saturday, which then took a different, unexpected turn... Son #2 is off to Birmingham to visit son #1 at uni and so I've been getting all geared up for an evening in (almost) alone - lazy dinner, music and a film, accompanied by lashings of ginger beer (a slight untruth, I dislike ginger beer!) until things changed when the carers visited.  One of the carers asked me what I was doing tonight (she knew son #2 was off out) and so I trotted out the story above: it turns out they're having a Korean barbecue with a few friends along with drinks and music and I'm invited. I gladly accepted their kind invitation as I know I'll be in for a great evening. Apart from getting on with chores, of which there are plenty, I also snatch a few moments to catch up with friends and get presents organised for my wife's birthday next Friday.  The mid-afternoon carer visit finalises plans for the evening - I need to get to the house before six as the road may be closed fo...

Tales From The Crypt - Monday 6th December 2021

Image
Not quite the Monday I had expected, so reluctantly I had to give up yoga for this week. E is coming home from hospital and it's not absolutely clear when she'll arrive, so I'll need to set things up and coordinate with the care agency. Nevertheless I'm happy to give up yoga to get E back home again. I started the day with a walk and talk followed by a trip to the shops to pick up meds, some Christmas food shopping, especially cards, and a search for a two-person turkey crown/joint. The turkey search was unsuccessful as there seems to be far less turkey around than in previous years, perhaps because it's coming into stores later this year. After returning from the shops I was surprised by the arrival of our Christmas trees, which I wasn't expecting until the afternoon. Good job hadn't gone to yoga! In the event it was better they came this morning than in the afternoon when E is now expected home. Son #2 went off to take his driving theory test whilst I made...

Lockdown Diary - Sunday 19th April 2020

Image
Gonna take it slow today.  Breakfast of coffee and almond croissant. Take my time drinking the coffee, maybe make another. Not much of note today either. Did a load of jobs and chores, you know, the usual: washing; cleaning en-suite; cut my hair; trimmed my beard (weird). Also found time to read the papers, read a bit of the 'Wake and continue a dialogue with a friend that started on Saturday. I was pleased to see I got a reply from Henry Eliot, author/presenter of the 'Borges' course, to my course comments and questions. He wrote an interesting and detailed reply which did agree with my thinking on the parallels between Borges and Joyce. More research to be done, I think. For a change we decided to have a takeaway from our local Italian restaurant for dinner: it's good not to cook all the time. Booked the collection time in the early afternoon (last time we tried to book a collection they were full, so took no chances today!) I'm experimenting with the Hi-...
