And now this has sent me down a particular road. I first came across this in my late teens or maybe I was twenty. I just loved it, something about that particular set of notes (I’d call it a scale but I think it’s probably modal...). Anyway, it was the first time I was conscious of the Spanish scale...

Oh FFS, you pair sent me down a watching Japanese kids play stuff (and obviously enjoying themselves into the bargain) for an hour... How dare you... Just for that I’m going to give Spanish flashmobs. The first one I just love the energy and sheer stick that up ye-ness of it al: https://m.youtube.co...

Symphony No. 4: Los Angeles - Arvo Pärt.

Oooo, I like the look of them hot lips...

Neil Young’s Homegown on cd and MrRobot season 4 on dvd...

Neil Young’s Homegrown.

This one, despite it being well past his ‘70’s prime, I just love. Didn’t know he could play! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhDOPPfAyM I was always impressed by the space that Gillian and Dave occupied by just two voices and guitars so this impressed me even more (love the amalgam of the two parts)...

Steve Reich. Phases disc 3 (his Nonesuch retrospective) to check out Electric Counterpoint mainly...

I’ll give Proverbs a spin next, then 4 organs...

Country Westerns.

Some times I ride to ease my mind, others to cease it. I have ridden across the country in order to ‘clear’ it of the clutter and onslaught that I bring down upon myself. I find the repetition of movement eases me and helps me ‘think’. I have often made important decisions on the bike (others walkin...

I sent you a link

You did indeed, thanks

Currently trying to workout how to obtain a playable copy Sanación by Maria José Llergo.

https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/14747739?ev=rb

The emphasis is on playable. 12” doesn’t fit in my cd or computer/iPod... cd or mp3 is what I was searching for. Ended up on YouTube instead...

Actually, one of them revelate voles (?) For dropper post use I guess (I do consider this for a minute then go, nah, I've the normal one that will do...

Well, I'm impatiently awaiting new stock of large ti Camino frames at alpkit/sonder so I'd bling that cost not spared (but mostly just funcy wheels, stem, bars and seat post...). I've plenty kit that needs using (not replacing). A new lunar solo (again not that my old one is worn...)? Maybe an exped...

Despite my moniker (which is actually derived from a Cat Power song) I have a tendency to vier towards the minimalist. Arvo Pärt gets a fair listen (Kanon Pokajanen, Symphony No 4 and Tabala Rasa currently). Bang on a Can’s rendition of Reich’s 4 organs & maracas must be due for a dust off pretty so...

I’ve not been buying much (the usual ‘small’ stuff, no big ticket items). I ordered a replacement aeropress plunger seal that arrived the next day and a cd (admittedly from Germany) that took over 3 weeks. I live on the Black Isle though (which apparently isn’t on the mainland according to some cour...

FWIW I have two sets (originals) and I'm considering a 3rd, so I'm a convert.

Colin, I have a set that I’m not using. Your welcome to them (if I can remember where I’ve put them).

Did you get ever them bb mug ‘charity’ band things, I’ll swap yer....

probably the best way is a very late or very early one where you are unlikely to meet anyone -perhaps you can just wear a bell like the lepers of old to warn folk :smile: I was coming to a similar conclusion myself. Only I think something on proximity sensor that bellowed UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN would als...

Quite frankly, I’m disappointed with Lazarus’ stance. Surely he’d be fine, no? :lol: :lol: :wink: On a more serious note, I’ve come down with a (chesty) cough, no idea if I’ve a temp (no thermometer) but don’t feel I’m running one and throat is ok. Sneezing as you might expect from a cold/flu. Not k...

Books? I’ve already got one of them, why would I need another? Recently finished: Provenance by Ann Leckie (of Ancillary Justice fame). I enjoyed it. Agency by Bill Gibson. Again, I enjoyed it. But I like most of his books. A very stable genius by I forget who actually. Depressing AF. Seeing it all ...

My piece de resistence was Banned From The Roxy. I would'nt claim to know all the words but damn near most of them... That's 40 years ago...

Gone off at a bit of a tangent though hasn't it! I feel a bit left out having been on the metal head side of things :cool: Howdya think I feel, my vices are minimalist avant-garde classical, alt.country and the latest batch of female singer/songwriters... These hedonistic ravers are trying to claim...

Cotic do some restrap ones in various guises/sizes

(You need scroll down past the tees first though...)

I’d expect the northern loop to be a challenge, it’s the middle of feckin nowhere with little in the way of, well, anything. Just getting resupply/food would be daunting if your not exactly versed in ‘packing and the ways of the north... there’s only a couple of hundred thousand people live in Highl...

I remember that day in Glen Affric crawled in the tent for respite and never left it. The only pitch I didn’t document photographically for some unknown reason... :lol: My worst experience was out Torridon way on a climbing trip. Camping in trees wasn’t the smartest idea I’ve ever had... 2018 was a ...
