Greetings from a Dead Man

... Well, not dead, he just smells a bit funny...

Not feeling great, but I joined the 'angular mass' of commuters anyway. Some recent acquisitions, mainly vinyl replacements:

Joe the Lion - David Bowie. More vinyl replacement,
Cannon Ball - Weather Report. Ditto,
Greetings from a Dead Man - Eurythmics, from the brilliant '1984' album. 'Julia' is just gorgeous...
Death of Samantha - Yoko Ono with Porcupine Tree (actually Steve Wilson, according to his website),
Dervish D - Vangelis,
Larks' Tongues in Aspic Pt IV - King Crimson, Live in Pennsylvania,
Si - Yes. For many years I thought this was pronouced 'sigh', but can see now that it's probably pronouced 'see', ie the Italian 'Si', which of course means 'Yes',
Joe the Lion [remix] - DB again,
East of Asteroid - 801,
North American Scum - LCD Soundsystem. I bought this on the back of rave reviews in the Independent and Guardian. Haven't had chance to listen to the whole of yet, but it's pretty good,
then, for no real reason, I fancied 'Three Sides Live' from Genesis and got as far as 'Duchess' before arriving at work.

Last night's 'Where's the Skill In That?' was very good. There's now a repeat on Sunday evening, which I would recommend highly.

CD-WOW are really screwing up my Marillion order. Cheap, but not that reliable, it seems.

T - 4; M - 4; D - 4
