bank holiday bossa


my but it's been a while since i swung easy between good times and gaz's rocking blues via a red stripe or three an awful long time. crowds don't do it for me these days all that squashedness but i do hope the sun is shining down the grove right now

modal monday


or day thirty one maybe... i enjoyed that thirty day challenge doohickey feel like i fumbled a chunk and that too many of the days had shoddy themes but enjoyed it still. anyone got any better questions/ideas/themes/whatevers? what with having to get on a train tomorrow egg sandwiches crisps and everything how about 'a song you listen to while travelling on trains' that'd do for starters and it's easy what with jazz being train music jazz and scott and frank and almost nothing else all quiet in the quiet coach headphones sneaked on snug not leaky hissing headphones neither different music to car music sing along music this is total immerrsion all the way to the toes music there and all the way back again

retreat


it's all got a bit much now hasn't it most especially since the foul reactionary spouters have started up churning my insides even more than the flames and greed and turning the radio into a no go zone. all got me dreaming of places far beyond deserts gardens feeding the birds quiet. perhaps some more folk funk lovliness will help

night and the city


eerie quiet down my street half the shops closed up mid afternoon tourists confused and a strange strangeness all over the west end. at least the builders have left us huge pile of handy rubble. peace go with you brothers and sisters
