Heart of Glass

An 'interesting' morning.

I was asked by a couple of schoolgirls if I would buy something from a shop for them. When I asked what, they said 'cigarettes'. I said an over-effusive 'No No', sounding a bit like I was talking to a 4 year old.

Then, I arrived at the Tube to be confronted with a 'Suspended' notice - Police investigation which had closed the line down. The bus replacement service is terribly slow, but I had no option. Then a mother from my son's nursery turned up and started flirting with me in the bus queue, which was nice. It would have been nicer if she hadn't been 6 months pregnant...

The travel chaos left me with plenty of time for music:

01 - MONSTERS - 08/10/92 Lee & Herring, from Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World Series, available at FISTOFFUN. Not as funny as I remember it.

Then 'Return of the SuperApe'. Not as good as 'Super Ape', but still good.
Dyon Anaswa - Lee 'Scratch' Perry and the Upsetters,
Return of the Super Ape,
Tell Me Something Good,
Bird in Hand,
Crab Yars,
Jah Jah Ah Natty Dread.

Then back to shuffle briefly:
Renee - Talk Talk. I've been looking for the Mark Hollis solo CD, but I can't find it anywhere,

Danny Baker played some Camel on Monday (BBC show) which jogged my memory for the 80s 'Stationary Traveller' album. There's some great guitar solo-ing on this album, although the electronics (drums/synths) grate after a while:
Pressure Points,
Refugee,
Vopos,
Cloak And Dagger Man, the nearest Camel came to a 'hit', I think,
Stationary Traveller,
West Berlin,
Fingertips.

Finally, some Philip Glass from some recent purchases to replace my old vinyl:
Etoile Polaire (North Star),
Victor's Lament,
River Run,
Mon Pere, Mon Pere,
Are Years What, all from North Star.

Arrived at 10.30. Nothing to do, so it doesn't really matter.
