Snow overnight, although it looks
Snow overnight, although it looks like it is thawing already. May just get time to take a piccie of Priory Park under a white (thin) blanket.
Do you read The Yes/No
Do you read The Yes/No Interlude? If you don’t, you should, especially if you are one of the less enlightened Americans (or less enlightened Britons for that matter). Top stuff.
Wine (in the W2 Weds
Wine (in the W2 Weds night half-price deal) tonight with Arron.
Once again, the night before
Once again, the night before flying, I’m totally unprepared for my trip. Which is why I plan to have a quick shower and then head down the pub. Heck, I don’t have to leave here until 11:20 tomorrow morning.
Blimey, this place is a mess. I think I’ll worry about that when I get home.
I think I mentioned that
I think I mentioned that I had a bit of a spree on CDs whilst I was in Santa Barbara. One of the treasures that I picked up was Neotropic‘s La Prochaine Fois (which translates as The Next Time), a beautiful slice of ambient electronica that comes accompanied with a matching film of the same name, subtitled "An Ambient Road Movie". Both album and film are excellent, and I think I’ll be hunting down some of her other work. The music is gently soothing, giving a feeling of gentle motion in a control-less, floaty but very pleasant way, and the film is captivating, in a 50s-style grainy home movie fashion.
Staying with music, I was chuffed to receive a CD for review and possible inclusion on radio grayblog from Canadian outfit Kush. The Temptation Sessions: Radio Edits looks like it should provide some material for radio grayblog. Etric Lyons of Kush has sent me a bio, but lamentably I’ve left it in the office and won’t be able to get to it until Monday, but it will be at least then that I get a chance to put any of it online. I’ll keep you posted.
I also have to add new music from our very own Tom A to radio grayblog, and I haven’t forgotten that Charlie promised me some of her recorded vocal beauty. All coming soon folks.
I think it would be very cool if radio grayblog had a fair chunk of new and generally-unavailable music. A good thing indeed.
They’re denying it, so it
They’re denying it, so it must be true. Or am I just too cynical?
Brrr. It’s cold. Good preparation
Brrr. It’s cold. Good preparation for Essen, where daytime highs for Friday are forecast to be -1C (30F).
Incidentally, having cogitated a little, I think it should be fairly easy to persuade the Man From NatWest – his demands are not unreasonable, and I think they are attainable.
