Well, there might have been a reason I posted it up here

I’m not going to apologise for posting a ratsarse video as The old boy is a good mate’s/longtime cycling friends dad. Cycling unaided (proto bike packers?) RSF expedition in Iceland. The ratarse riders look like a bunch of fops in comparison. Mind you Mr ‘33 makes the RSF boys look like part timers ...

I wrote this song, just for you...

The Gillian Welch Boots #2: Lost Songs boxset (which the what the postie brung this morning). Ordered it back in Oct/Nov. It got dispatch fromUS 5th January, got notification of it being in Switzerland 13th. Delivered on the 6th... guess that’s the sunlit uplands Brexit dividend for ya, right there....

Imagine the arm ache from playing maracas for 16 minutes... 😳 16 minutes playing the same chord on your organ (steady Reg!). A dominant eleventh if yer interested. Described by the composer as: the longest V–I cadence in the history of Western Music... Play yer cards right I might find more Lower E...

Oh man, I’ve led you up the garden path, it was 1973 at Carnegie Hall. Here is a quote from that gig: A 1973 performance of Four Organs at Carnegie Hall in New York City nearly caused a riot, with "yells for the music to stop, mixed with applause to hasten the end of the piece."[5] One of ...

Yeah, it's almost suicide without the threat of violence. By ‘86 they were almost a cabaret act... Europe in ‘77, man that must have taken some balls. For malevolence I’m thinking I need to dig out SWANS, Jim Foetus or maybe this: https://youtu.be/LpG0fw1A6Cs Definitely this (at a volume where the ...

Imagine if you will, it’s 1970, you’re dressed to the nines for some quality classical music (some nice symphonic bombast no doubt) at the Guggenheim Museum, NYC and then these motherfuckers start up...

Serious response: Frazey Ford.

Late to the party (as always). I’ve two ti frames. A Cotic SodaMAX and a Sonder Camino. I did have a Cotic Soda for a while but it really didn’t get on with it (bought it as I loved my soul and thought into the just like the steel one but lighter and betterer....) so sold it on PDQ. I had a SolarisM...

Always loved that Jon Spencer track MuddyPete :grin: Picked up a couple cds (that I had/have on vinyl but no player): Pussy Galore - Sugarshit Sharp (love Yü Gung, original and PH, plus it’s a great EP) and Corpse Love (just so I have Kill Yourself...). Also been listening to the Be Good Tanyas (pri...

Do you need to shave the back of your head for it work properly?

Can be a bit provincial (if you hear the locals talking about "traffic jams" you'll know what I mean). The (understandable) lack of road infrastructure means that if there’s an accident on the A9 north then traffic is diverted through town and everything grinds to a standstill. The bridge...

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...
