Mix Tapes

[jazzy_dave]

Well,done another drab day inside the commercial cesspool that is Churchill Square but it had to be done. Earlier did a mystery shop at Bright House,and finished off the Gas survey for Synovate this early evening. Tomorrow back to Walthamstow to complete the business study for Plus 4,and hopefully part exchange some books which i had on the stall at the usual place i do this thing.

Watching "Junior Mastermind" this evening i was amused and delighted by the little boy specializing in the works of Bob Marley,and his general knowledge was good too. Infact ,he came tops and was wearing a Brazilain colours football T shirt,and with his dread hair style was the coolest kid on the show.

I am compiling a mix tape for a friend this evening which is a genre-spreading mix of reggae,folk,jazz,salsa,tropicalia and all other blends. So far the list is -

Kathy Smith - It's Taking So Long
Adrian Sherwood - A Piece of The Earth
Caetano Veloso - O Estranguiro
Roy Ayers - The Third Eye
Milt Jackson - Opus De Funk
Steve Ellis - Loots The Root
Free Design - Light My Fire
Frequency - Take Refuge
Gong - Night Illusion
Phil Ochs - Crucifixion 
The Watts Prophets - Listen

That is the list so far. Well its a CDR ,not a mixtape as in the old world sense from the eighities boom in cassette culture,but the digital equivalent of one. A kind of curate's egg of tunes it will be.

Well i have had 40 visitors to my LJ blog since i had that map of visitors including one from Russia ( most in the UK and the States if you are wondering).

Tiggy not well again and feeling lethargic,so another trip to the vet is imminent.
