Good Morning

Thursday Thoughts

Well, it seems the weather was being moribund and infuriating. Started cool and overcast, then sunny for a while and then some rain, before deciding to have a very sunny late afternoon.

I popped into town to put that tax rebate cheque into my account, a posting of two CDs I sold on Discogs, and pick up the latest Wire magazine, as well as pop into my local pub for some drinks and fish and chips.

On my charity shop excursion next door to the pub, I picked up another version of Mahler's Second Symphony for a quid. On my return home three CDs had arrived - one from my brother - another interpretation of Rachmaninov's Second and Third  Piano Concertos, a Charles Wuorinen CD, and Lester Bowie's The Great Pretender.






So in all, a wonderful day.

Evil Goo Tube

I wanted to post here the full sixteen-minute version of The Great Pretender by Lester Bowie from his album of the same name but those greedy GooTubers want me to pay the premium monthly subscription even to listen to it let alone dd it here. Fuck them.!

It is a great eighties jazz album anyway, so I will play another track from it in my next music post.
