Grey. Grey skies, grey Tube.
An uneventful weekend. I was surprised to hear, at the Catholic church I reluctantly attend, a King Crimson song - Islands - being used for some chant or other. Not the whole thing, just some snatches of the verse and an echo of the chorus (Beneath the wind turned wave) etc. Very odd. Oh well, at least it takes our minds off this...
I also picked up the 'Prince' freebie album in the Mail on Sunday. Although I hate this paper and just about everything that goes with it (with the possible exception of the 'Metro'), it was too good an opportunity to miss. Although I'm not an expert on Prince, a lot of the music sounded very familiar to me. It's okay as far as it goes, but I'd like to give it a better listen before reaching a final verdict.
After the latest ADBS, a Shuffle 'Not Classical or Spoken', which is the default when I don't fancy anything much:
Easy Money - King Crimson, live, from 'Sometimes God Smiles'
Lady D'Arbanville - Cat Stevens. This and 'Into White' I can live with; everything else is a bit too 'nice' for me,
Moving the Goalposts - Billy Bragg,
Double Bass - Gorillaz,
Time of No Reply - Nick Drake. I have 'Family Tree' on order,
Plague of Ghosts iv) Waving at Stars - Fish; prior to 'Field of Crows' probably one of the best Fish albums, in large part due to Steve Wilson,
Gone to Earth - David Sylvian. Not the best to break through the noise of the Tube, but great,
Guardian of My Soul - Pendragon,
Tiny Little Fractures - Snow Patrol. I don't 'get' this band. Pretty anodyne stuff,
Big Generator - Yes,
L'Isola Di Niente - PFM,
You Turn Me On I'm A Radio - Joni Mitchell,
The Shining Ones - Mike Oldfield.
T - 3; M - 3.5; D - 2 - The little stocky man who insisted on rubbing knees with me was particularly annoying
