Though I really should be home by now. I've got the Swanage Coastal Park map all done but its such an uninspired place. remind me never to take them up onthe offer of a free pitch...
That was an hour ago now miind you. Since then I've sat around online just diving here and there looking for stuff. Checked out Guthrie's blog again and found a reference to his project with Foxx. Seems he regards it as "unintelligible". cool! But it is among five or six albums he has recorded in the last two years that still haven't been released...
I like Robins blog almost as much as I enjoy his guitar playing.
Inspired me to try and wade through Diary of a HyperDreamer too, Bill Nelson's blog which is, to say the least, 'verbose'. Not an artist i know anythng about (shame on me) and I will henceforth add his name to the list of people whose work I need to give more time and respect to. This includes Yellow Magic Orchestra, Philip Glass and...
thats it so far.
Hung on MSN to catch up with no-one at all (athol seems to have fallen off) until J came by all too briefly. Whatever's going on there is confusing and worries me a bit - if you're reading this m'dear thanks for the confiding in me bit. I just hope it helps somehow and you can see things more clearly.
Nothing I can see looks like an exit
So I'm making you into a door

I'm in one of my crazy wanting to stay up all night moods again, but sadly I have little music here in the office on the Mac to inspire me. I've played thru a download I whipped off the net earlier (the link has now been removed!!) of Ultravox with MIDGE URE in Oregon, November 1979. Thought it would be thus.
His versions of Quiet men, Hiroshima and Slow Motion and Can't Stay Long are laughable dire. OK the quality of the recording is a bit crap, but that's not the point. And he has the audacity to say "This is from Systems of Romance" as if it was one of his album's! king Cheek.
I also would doubt the claim that the boys played NINE consecutive dates in LA at the end of the tour. NINE??
The office is looking tidier than I expected, but there is so much stuff pile don my desk. Jo has given me a copy of our e.newsletter to read through which has already been marked up by D. Its CRAP!!!! The spelling and grammar are appalling, phrases are used inconsistently to refer to the same thing, several points are repeated and several are missing altogether. I should go over it now, but I can't be bothered.
Next door's ringtone still pisses me off beyond all reason.
Coffee? Or home? Hungry. I have 24p in my pocket and there are, as Stan would say "none biscuits". That'll be toast then.
Climate of Hunter again when I get home? Or Biosphere?
Not the right time for Walker I don't think...
