I’m having a late evening coffee (decaf) and a biscuit while listening to the John Barry compilation CD β€˜The More Things Change (Film, TV & Studio Work 1968-1972)’ and trying not to think about work tomorrow.

That’s good news then! I’m now patiently waiting for the Dinked Edition to rock on up. Or fusion jazz on up!

β€˜Irreparable Parables’ and its companion piece β€˜Inundated Indentations’, both by @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social on @claypipemusic.bsky.social have arrived.

Sadly no CD in the bundle so I gave that a miss, but the new badge is present and correct.

Dinked Edition from Monorail is pending!

I saw this as part of Frightfest at the Glasgow Film Theatre that year. I think I might actually have nodded off. I must have been tyred.

#Nowwatching the 1974 made for TV science-fiction horror movie β€˜Killdozer’.

Let’s be honest, this was a preposterous concept at the time, but eminently sensible in comparison with more contemporary bafflements like β€˜Sharknado’. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

πŸ˜‚ I think it speaks for the variety of music across all of the albums that they could easily all be favourites.

Not sure if I’m right here but I recall one of their albums being very different - possibly β€˜In Through The Out Door’?

I need to dig all of these out. It’s been a long time.

What do you think their best album was? I’m constantly stuck between the third and fourth albums, but, by my own admission, I’m a total folktard.

The first VHS video cassette I bought.

I was 11 and in Glasgow with my Nana to buy new trainers. I lifted Β£25 from my account and deliberately bought the cheapest shoes I could find, leaving me with Β£10 to buy β€˜Death to the Daleks’ in Lewis’s, Argyle Street.

That’s what started all this nonsense.πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Morning #weekendsingles folks!

I’m continuing with the audit of all my 7” singles and #nowplaying β€˜Cinevox 5’, released for RSD 2015 and featuring music from the likes of Morricone, Goblin, and Umiliani.

Kenny Rogers.

I really wish he wouldn’t, but you can’t have everything.
