An Electronica Morning

The morning tunes today are both modern slabs of electronica that quirkytizzy might enjoy. The first one coves the feeling i had last night of Insomnia by Faithless -

I love that tune.

Next up is Disclosure with a great track called White Noise -

And finally, classic slice of junglist drum n bass from Goldie, the full 21 minutes off Timeless.

Enjoy

Lackadaisical

Well, folks had to get up early and walk to Sittingbourne this morning as i had a meet in the Office before ten. Well now that it is out of the way i have some fee time. The only problem is that i cannot afford to do much about it but i will be going to Faversham to sell some books. It is not helped by the uncertainly of a remittance that should be due in my account on Thursday but the lackadaisical company do not seem to understand the problem. Meh!

I seem to be talking to  a  wall , but they keep telling me it will be in my account on Thursday but my eyes are telling me different.  I seem to that man at the end of the original version of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers where he is on the road and cars are passing him and he is shouting warning people , "Listen to me ,. we are in danger, .. they are after you , they are after all of us". Nobody listens, and tell him to "get out of here". That is how i feel with said company..

Am i being paranoid or what?

Oh and if you never seen this black & white SF classic from 1956 before here it is in full.

And Now ....

Right I am off to Faversham to my usual book man. See what i can get for some books. Speak to you all later.

(hmm! That was short and pithy).

Then After ...

i received three quid and for the few paperbacks at the bookshop and with a spare quid on me i purchased some salad stuff for a chorizo salad which we shall have for dinner when cousin comes back from work. Expelled a long sigh of having yet again  to sell books to live.

However, this item from my brother;s blog site cheered me up no end.

"Perfect Pair of Acronyms...

On a fairly regular basis The Daily Telegraph receives correspondence from readers about the railways. Some of these letters are very funny.

In August 2011 one such reader wrote:
"SIR - it is a surprise to me that while rail companies call their passengers 'customers' and trains 'services' they still use the outmoded 'stations' and 'platforms'. Perhaps customers of this newspaper can suggest modern alternatives."

Two days later the following response was published:

"SIR - How about ' Customer Regional Assembly Point' and 'Customer Rallying And Migration Pier'? In the interests of brevity, acronyms could be substituted."

Absolutely priceless....."

Yes, crap and cramp seem so apposite!

Random Post Day

As everybody seems to be doing random posts for Random Post Day i shall stick my tuppence worth here.

First, as i have just looked, still no movement of this payment from the "ok to pay" page into the pay statement page despite the company's  assurances which i do not trust any more. Another phone call required tomorrow.

Walked into Sittingbourne, spent an hour in the Office, caught train to Faversham and sold sold books, got chorizo salad for dinner at 7 pm this evening.

And from Nov 24., 2005 (gosh, has it been nine years here) a post about a visit to Guildford -

Guildford Finds And Ray The Man

Whilst doing a survey in Guildford i did a bit of browsing for records or CD's in charity shops and elsewhere.
In a branch of Oxfam I found the "Death Wish" soundtrack from Herbie Hancock (Columbia LP 1974) for £3 and "The Essential Ray Charles - The Best of The Early Years" (Music Club double CD) for £2.

These tracks are from 1949 - 1952 on small labels such as Down Beat and Swing Time before joining Atlantic for his most successful and obviously more famous sides but these 36 tracks here give a good indication of his emerging style from a Nat King Cole type croon through to bluesier stuff and jazzy styles. Its a great introduction to the man as each track is good having something to offer the listener.

Pretty cold windy day in Guildford."

I have been crate digging for longer than this. Crate digging is the term we vinyl hunters call oursleves, as most of the finds are in crates or boxes.

Talking of classic black and white SF B movies  i have found the complete The Crawling Eye from 1958. Note - in the UK it was known as The Trollenberg Terror.

Enjoy.
