Birthday Greetings

Happy birthday to frenchani and belatedly to strange_powers.

Hope you both had a wonderful day.

 

A Funk Morning

So as I forgot about the midnight tune last night you shall have a double dose of morning tunes. This first one, from the short lived  go go scene, is by Trouble Funk and a track called So Early In The Morning.

.

Enjoy. Second tune to follow

A Bullet Morning

Another great song, a one hit wonder infact, from 1975 is this little tune by Pete Wingfiled , "Eighteen With A Bullet" -

Also this number (eighteen)  just happens to be  my current LJ chart position.
Oh and i still have this single in my collection.

Enjoy.

A Solaris Morning

For all you hep jazz cats out there here is a piece of modern electronic jazz from Isotope 217 and a track called Solaris (same name as that excellent Russian SF film) and on the equally collectible Chicago based Thrill Jockey label.

Enjoy.

Another Faversham Visit

Well as you can all guess there was a spring in my step this afternoon. It was too late to do any far away visits. Red Cross charity shops seem to close at 4.30 pm and hence getting down to New Romney, Deal  or Tenderden would be cutting it fine  too much, as i discovered when i did the Hythe visit to find that when i got to New Romney the shop was already closed.

Lucidly i had one in Faversham to do, just four miles away. Picked up some goodies for the fiver. Some books, and a  DVD box set -



Tom Paulin is a poet that hales from Leeds but his parents moved to Belfast when he was still young, and thus you could loosely call him an Irish poet (well his mum was). The Gore Vidal book is a collection of essays on literature and politics. Should be interesting.




Being a pipe smoker, this book just caught my eye. Blurb on the back calls it "the funniest extended mediation on mortality you are likely to read... blah blah"

The icing on the cake though is the classic Jacob Bronowski TV series box set "The Ascent Of Man" spanning across four DVD's fro only £2.Books were a quid each.

Then i get a phone call from React to see if i would do the  Tomorrow People chazzer in Sittingbourne Thursday  for an increased fee. You bet i said !  So now i can do that plus a couple of Tenderden visits and squeeze in one at Tonbridge.

Plus if React and Lodge pay me for jobs in the "pending for payment area" on Friday, and that E bay auction ending on Saturday comes up trumps  i shall be cock-a-hoop .all over the weekend. Yay!
