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 ;-)

I implied there'd be another, and there is. This is it. I have been doing quite a lot, so there's probably a lot to write about. I'm uncertain how much I am in the mood to write, though. I'm going to list a lot of the things I could write about, then see what that sparks in the little grey cells. Of note: Bagheera being put to sleep Robyn Hitchcock John Bishop Suzanne Vega Todd Rundgren Slow Horses (Season 5) Celebrity Traitors MAFS UK (Have mercy on my soul) The Sandman Lots of Archaeology on TV Ancestors (Book) The Idler The White Lotus (Season 1 - Descent into Hell) Online Course at the James Joyce Cultural Centre in Dublin studying 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' (Next 6 weeks) The Reader at Calderstones Park Mansion House Back pain/Balance - Full Spine MRI scan (next week) The saddest thing has been the death of Q and φ's cat, Bagheera. She was a lovely black cat and is much missed. Q and I saw Robyn Hitchcock at Prohibition Studios in Liverpo...

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...

After eighteen months of stability, it's been a while since the focus of these posts has been E, though that hasn't been the case in real life, of course. This past week has been very troubling with the onset of seemingly regular small seizures.  From our perspective we've been struggling to know if E's in pain and/or suffering discomfort, but increasingly there have been signs that she is. This morning I called the District Nurses to explain my concerns.  Whilst the nurse was here, E had several mini-seizures, and the nurse saw these and validated what I've been seeing. E needed pain killer and relaxant and she seems more settled, though there are still signs of seizures even with the medication. The nurse is going to contact both the Sue Ryder nurse and the GP, so I guess we'll have to wait to see what the next steps are. Against this backdrop, life goes on, though at an elevated level of agitation. Julia Holter /  'Spinning'   / 'Something In The ...

It's taken a while to get this post going.  Sometimes it just doesn't want to flow and, whilst I think I have things to say, I can't quite find a coherent way to say it. I have also been fairly busy socially, so I write less.  Life meanders on and I try to create ripples in the stream. Son #1, his gf and I went to see the film ' Lee ' about the American model turned war correspondent Lee Miller.  Kate Winslet is in the lead role and it is excellent as Lee.  One of the really enjoyable features of the film is the way that the action recreates (fairly naturally) some of the most iconic photographs she took during the war.  I've been aware of Lee Miller for a long time, though more because of her time as Man Ray's model and muse. This film redresses that balance.  She is also fascinating to me because she was part of the seismic cultural changes that emanated from Paris in the 1920s, especially the surrealist movement.  If there's any time and place in hi...

Today would have been the second day of annual leave for December had I not retired, which contributes to the 'unrealness' of retirement so far. You're probably thinking, 'I hope he stops banging on about being retired', and I probably will, once it starts to feel normal and real. Novelty value and all that. For the past couple of weeks I have been busy getting organised for Christmas, not just the event, but also ensuring that E has all the medication and supplies she'll need.  Getting hold of things over the break will be difficult.  For the first time in many years we should be away for the main event, which we're both looking forward to, though it requires additional planning and organisation over and above Christmas at home.  Dead excited though! Next year is shaping up to be quite a year, too, but of course, that hangs in the balance as it always does. Watch this space. Amongst all the recent organisational activities, I did manage to get a weekend awa...
