jazzy_daveWell folks, it turned out to be a full day yesterday , indeed. I first traveled over to Sittingbourne to see my cousin at work , bung him thirteen quid and then pop into the Office to finish off a report and then print off some more mystery shop visits. Then i went via Maidstone , then Canterbury and ended up in Ashford for the evening for a cinema visit. Arrive back home fifteen minutes before midnight.
On the way i stopped in Faversham to the same chazzer that had supplied the previous Guy Barker Cd, so i ended up with four more jazz albums, including another by Guy Barker.
In Canterbury i did a mystery shop at a Children s Society chazzer , opposite the Kings School, and bought four CD;s for my fiver.
They are as follows -
Ben Harper - The Will To Live (Virgin Atlantic)
which is mostly in the blues , rock and folk genres , and a new discovey for me, and it includes this great funk laden track "Mama's Trippin'"
The next one is what i would call retro pop , Candie Payne "I Wish I could Have Loved You More" (Deltasonic)
which has the groovy title track as my selection -
The next one is a soundtrack form a film i absolutely loved "American Beauty" (DreamWork Records)
which includes this jazz tune by Betty carter "Open The Door"
And finally the other Cd form the shop is a hip hop classic , Warren G "Regulate .. G Funk Era" (Violator records)
and hence i shall to select this one -the title track "Regulate"
So in all , a good selection form the shop and as it was an official covert shop i get paid for doing it plus what i spent back as well.
Whilst in Canterbury i did a quick visit to the library and museum to see the Manet picture they have from the National Gallery Masterpiece Tour. His cut up fragmented and reunited fragments (by Degas) of "the Execution Of Maximillian" plus John Opie's "Murder Of Thomas Becket".
I also bought a couple of books from the Book Palace , which is now housed in the most unusual , lopsided surreal building you could imagine, with a door that looks like it was built by a drunkard.
That door alone reminds me of a German Expressionist film from the early twenties.The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. I just love quirky bookshops as this is one of the oddest, and is also opposite the Kings School.
Second part of visit to follow.
