Arrival

Arrived back around 4.30 pm. It has been a wonderful sunny day and perfect for travelling. I used my new route saving £2.30 on Explorer ticket cutting out Brighton & Hove buses altogether.

My bags were heavy with books of course. On the bus journey i read parts of Heart Of Darkness and the book on fonts called Just My Type. Originally the word had a "u" in it, "Fount" but slowly the Americanization of the word has reduced it to "font". I did not know that book fairs went as far back as 1454 when Gutenberg pre-sold his Bible (all 180 copies of it) before it was printed! This must be the first pre-order in the world for any book!

Tomorrow have a few posting to do , mostly from Ebay, of LP's and CD's and a DVD.For now, back to reading some books.

Nico

Been listening to John Cale about the use of drones via the Radio Six website, and in particular the drones used on the first Velvet Underground LP with Nico. So, i dug out my Chelsea Girl album and thus here is the title track -

Nico "Chelsea Girls"



She was a unique talent.

Enjoy.

Space, The Final Frontier

I just caught up with Sleepy Hollow. I keep forgetting it is aired on Wednesday nights. I then watched BBC 4 with the programme Brian Cox : Space Time and Videotape, and recorded The Day After Tomorrow - Into Infinity ,starring Brian Blessed , and The Day The Universe Changed , in which James Burke reflects on the series and looks at the many theories and systems of belief that have been disproved.

I was going to watch them, but i need to get some sleep soon.
