I Regularise, You Regularise, He/She/It Regularises

The concept of 'regularisation of the service' cropped up on the Tube this morning. Although one might assume it might mean regulate or adjust, apparently it means to fuck things up massively and inconvenience the occupants of at least two trains by not having a clue what's going on.

Folk music today, although the classification is almost entirely my own:

Beautiful - Paul O'Reilly, first heard on the Andy Kershaw show. A beautiful acoustic album,
(I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May - Suzanne Vega,
Brother - Vashti Bunyan,
Stormbringer - John and Beverly Martyn,
Hummingbird Song - Tom McRae,
Blood Makes Noise 2 - Suzanne Vega,
Under Ben Bulben - Richard Harris, a poem from an 'Independent' freebie CD,
Glorious Fool - John Martyn, from a recent Andy Kershaw session,
Against The Sky - Vashti Bunyan,
Line Of Fire - Tom McRae, from his fantastic 'Just Like Blood' CD,
Listen, Listen - Sandy Denny,
I Can't See You - Tim Buckley,
Bird Flew By - Nick Drake, from a compilation of demo and home recordings,
Golden Girl - John Martyn,
How The West Was Won - Tom McRae,
Lifesaver - Emiliana Torrini,
Freeze Tag - Suzanne Vega,
The Optimist - Turin Brakes,
The Sisters - Renaissance,
O Death - John Renbourn,
Nottamun Town - Fairport Convention,
Archetypal Man - Judee Sill.

M - 4; T - 1; D - 3
