Wednesday 4th

Picked up two CD's cheap from Borderline today - "Bod , Words And Music" (Trunk ) £4, and "Stranded In The USA,Early Songs of Emigration" (Trikont CD) for only £6 - it has been on my want list for quite awhile,and i have ben waiting for this one to be reduced from its original £12.99 price tag.Both items were in their clearance section.

Also latest Plan B magazine with a free CD sampler - first time for them! It is now a monthly magazine rather than bimonthly,and i wish it well.

Finished off all the washing powder placements for Peter Baker today and then a stint at East Grinstead outside Willia Hill for ISL.

It has quite a dry day today after the recent wet weekend and Monday's downpour. However we still have a hosepipe ban.

With Dr.Who not being screened (except repeats) on the air at the moment i wondered when the new scifi ssries "Torchwood" would start and for awhile had only seen a press release of it from the BBC Press Office. However,roaming in Googleland i now know it starts on October 28th on BBC3 at 9pm with the actor who played Captain Jack Black in the Christopher tennant series of Dr.Who. I shall look forward to it.

Thursday 5th

Those, like myself, who still crave to get the 4CD set "The Conet Project" )Irdial) will no longer have to search as the whole project is downloadable as individual free mp3's from

http://www.archive.org/details/ird059

complete with a history of these ethereal shortwave sounds captured
and backround info. A truly great resource although it doesn't feature all 150 tracks from the set but a good cross section and links to other sites. The oficial Irdial Conet website is at

The new Quadrant pub reopened last Thursday but now it is a Barracuda pub, and hence in their style,is all too modern for me.Had one pint in there which wasn't cheap. I rememebr it years ago as a great student friendly pub with a welcoming landlord. Now it has lost that sense of adventure and convivial atmosphere. So it is still the Evening Star or Trafalgar for me.Drinkers pubs bar none.

Rained first thing this morning but today i will indoors in Chichester for the Tourist Information Centre, so the waether will not be a hindrance.

Will take an art book with me to read on the train and in quiet moments.

The Mike Sammes Singers LP/CD "Music For Biscuits" is another triumph for the Trunk label. So too is "Bod Words Anbd Music" which i picked up cheaply from Borederline on Wednesday. Going round the net i have found an interesting biog on Mike Sammes from the SpaceAge Pop website.

The recent story of a mother's young toddler accidentally buying an old banger of a car for £9000 prompted me to checkout object-project,and apparently it is not the strangest story from the world of Ebay ,according to the Guardian.

Lots of things going on around Steve Reich and his 70th birthday party,including music and interviews on the radio and this piece from the Guardian.

He is one of my favourite minimalists musicmlly speaking and his career has been an essential part of 20th and 21st centurt classical composition.

Been a miserable day with the weather though.

At least achieved £50 of sales in the last 2 weeks after rent, from our stall meeting on Tuesday, with Stephen,Isobel,and Rowan - no sign of Ian and Mike but i left early anyway after one pint of expensive beer (Fullers ESB at five pence les than three quid!!).

Oh and talking of Rowan, ther is another LEOPARD LEG gig in Brighton next Monday. Haven't transferred the recording i made from the last gig to DVDR yet.
