New Choons Three (Of Three)


This post has been sitting here, incomplete, for several days now. I haven't been able to put any words together that would sensibly accompany this. Still haven't, so it's just about the song. Probably.

 'Patience' is the first new song since Tame Impala's 2015 album 'Currents' and is a taster for the new album due in the summer. Continuing in the funkier direction that was hinted at on 'Lonerism' and was even more apparent on 'Currents', it seems to be more of the same. That being said, I like it, but I don't think it would have been out of place on the previous album.  Listen to it, see what you think.

 Dig those crazy bongos, maaaaan ;-)

Love, Poetry and Revolution - Tuesday 7th October 2025

I have been swimming deeply in the sea of life, often miles from land, and there hasn't been space to write. Have you ever tried writing whilst immersed in the sea? Much has been going on externally and internally. Getting engaged to Q in July has necessitated some early planning, starting with where and when we'll be getting married.  We have a date and a location.  Based on the date of the wedding we've booked a venue for the party.  These two dates being agreed upon, we've sent out initial invitations: this is especially important for most of Q's family as they will be travelling from a land down under, namely Australia. Most of August was taken up with this planning, mentally if not physically. As wedding-related activities have started to crystallise, I have begun to realise that everything has been leading towards the big day next year. Destiny. I've also found it hard to write here for a couple of different reasons. A bee flew into my bonnet and took up r...

Tales From The Crypt - Sunday 4th September 2022

Image
The day in prospect seems even quieter than yesterday.  There's quite a lot of boring admin I need to do and also planning for something I can't bring myself to plan for, even though it is inevitable.  Depending on how Monday pans out, I'll start it then. In the meantime the usual weekend chores, Radcliffe & Maconie, and reading the weekend papers. I made an unplanned trip to the shops owing to an error on my part yesterday, which did at least give me the chance to chat with one of the checkout women I know. She was asking if Q was still in Australia and about E. Ate breakfast on my return and got washing on at the same time. Multitasking!! During the day I had some calls with Q who's travelling back to Perth with family members.  In the afternoon, big sis phoned and we had a catch-up on our respective news.  Our evening plans changed unexpectedly (the motto over our front door is going to say 'Expect the Unexpected' - mind you, if you expect it, then surely...

Love, Poetry and Revolution - Thursday 14th November 2024

For about a week, maybe more, I've had a cold.  It's one of those colds that refuses to go quickly. I have shared it widely, unintentionally, though of course, I may not be the source of all the colds, there are so many about. I'm not here to write about my cold, though. It's a lead-in to something more pernicious. Accompanying the cold, especially as it slowly fades, I've had a bad headache. Initially, I thought it was cold-related, but I've come to believe it's a physical manifestation of stress - a topic that opens a crate of cans of worms. The stress I'm experiencing is probably the result of several things I'm anxious about. I had considered listing the things I thought were at the root of it, and then deciding whether they belong in the category of things I can control or cannot control. Instead, I've decided to dig deeper and write about it in the hope that writing it down helps control it and maybe it helps more widely.  I've always b...

I’ve forgotten more than I remember….

…which is probably just as well. Apropos of absolutely nothing, some random misfiring of synapses prompted me to give another airing to “Hermit of Mink Hollow”, Todd Rundgren’s first 100% solo album on which he plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals (1972's "Something/Anything?" fails to qualify as his first 100% solo effort because one of the 4 sides is a live-studio effort featuring assorted musicians and backing singers.) The album was released in 1978 and is named after a valley near Woodstock, New York, where Todd set up a recording studio and recorded this album. Like all of Todd’s solo albums post-1973’s“Todd” double album, there are a couple of seriously duff tracks but in spite of that it’s probably the most consistently good album he’s recorded after the creative peak of the early 1970’s.    The album – at least in its vinyl form – was split into “The Easy Side” and the “The Difficult Side” – though I can’t decide if that’s a joke: tracks on ...

Tales From The Crypt - Monday 28th June 2021

I've only gone and bloody well done it! Welcome to the first of my 'Tales From The Crypt': I'm bored as fuck with the old title and anything to do with Covid:  obviously I'm still going to adhere the guidelines and protect the vulnerable person I care for and about, I'm not a complete and utter bastard. We all have a part to play in keeping one another safe.  Sermon over. Started the day with the return of the early morning carer who's been on leave for two weeks - updated her with the latest news, which she was keen to hear. Knocked up and ate breakfast early, in order to finish eating 2 hours ahead of yoga at 10:00, then it was a bit of organising to get the compilation CD completed and ready to post. Off to the post office just before 9 a.m. to complete the process and then return ready to head for yoga at 9:30 a.m. Back from yoga after a chat with one of the other class members, followed by a longer chat with the teacher: I gave her a bit of a life updat...
