Funky Friday

[jazzy_dave]

Well it's been a good sunny day if a little windy. Got back to Brighton at 4.10 pm and thought it was a bit late to do any more work so i popped to the Evening Star for a pint of Old Harry, anice malty beer at 5.2 ABV or whatever they measure the strength of beer these days.

Then i looked around my favourite haunt ,The North Laines,and picked up a paperback from Sandpiper Book's back room for £1,a biography of Flaubert.
Picked up a Funkadelic Cd on Westbound from Oxfam for £2.99,which was their debut Lp i believe with extra tracks on it not on the original vinyl.

Listened to a great CD in Borderline,the debut by Spirit from 1968. So if the boot fair goes well on Sunday i will definitely pick it up,or the Joe Boyd compilation "My White Bicycle".

Intersting review of a Krautrock legend,Roedelius (Cluster) in the previous week's Guardian arts section which is a 31 track anthology of his work.http://arts.guardian.co.uk/reviews/story/0,,1813965,00.htmlAlso an interesting article about the muisc of Ennio Morricone in today's Guardian
