Assault and Battery, Part II

Monday morning is never a good time, but today was just bloody annoying. Late trains and appalling sensory overload from ridiculous perfumes and overwhelming body odour.

My weekend radio listening has been destroyed by the BBC; Friday night is now devoid of any interest (Mixing It replaced by Building a Jazz Library - hell, just get some Miles Davis and John Coltrane and work around them), Saturday night, previously spent listening to the bits of Bob Harris that don't involve Country & Western, is now taken over by Russell Brand (surely the most irritating prick ever) and Sunday night is now Andy Kershaw-free. Thanks, guys.

The Mark Kermode Radio 5 film review was spoilt by the presence of the star and director of 'Hot Fuzz', so that the review was much less focused.

As for music, well anything to take my mind off all the above:

Son of Man - 10cc,
The Boom Boom Bap - Scritti Politti, from the disappointingly bland CD of last year,
Germ Patrol - Egg,
All Tomorrow's Parties - Japan,
Come As You Are - Nirvana,
Tundra 4 - Squarepusher,
Asleep Under Eiderdown - Pure Reason Revolution,
Amor Real - Jon Anderson,
Astronomy - Blue Oyster Cult,
The Planetist-Maestro Mercy - Wigwam,

All selected as On-The-Go through fairly random selection in the iPod's 'Artists' menu,

T - 3, M - 3, D - 2
