Week from Monday 23rd October 2023 - I had the usual momentary confusion trying to remember in which direction the CLOCKS need adjusting ("Spring Forward, Fall Back" and all that)...

Most mornings, I awake to hear a friendly ROBIN, who sits on top of the tree outside my window (in exactly the same spot every day, a bow-shaped, bent-back branch that forms a perfect customised perch), quietly warbling a few of his favourite ditties. He'll keep this up for ages, until the people up the road let their yappy dogs out into the yard and the peace is shattered.

I've recently started following this feller on the Twitterage. He seems to know his onions... showing an in-depth knowledge of scientific matters with just the right amount of indignation aimed at the 'authorities' who'd prefer that you don't know about any of it.

@1goodtern - It's so hard to articulate this, and I keep failing. But the people downplaying the repercussions of Covid seem to be doing so on the basis that it's "respiratory" as if that makes it innocuous. But legionella and pneumonia are respiratory. Covid isn't just 'respiratory' anyway. Covid is vascular. Covid is neuropathic. And covid infects cartilage. Covid crosses the blood brain barrier. Is there a respiratory system in your brain? Covid snacks on the lining of your bowel and your liver and the thymus. And Covid infects and persists in the lymph glands, tonsils, adenoids. Covid infections wipe out your gut microbiome and play havoc with your mucous membranes throughout your body. And covid infects and damages both your endothelial and epithelial tissue. And it triggers coagulation in your blood. But the media and health authorities (here in this country at least) present it as a type of cold. Colds don't do all that other shit. And here's the weird bit. If there were a waterborne disease going around which caused this damage, they'd be banging on about reducing transmission. If there were a foodborne bacteria going around causing it in these numbers, the same. And Covid infects and persists in the lymph glands, tonsils, adenoids. But because they claim that "it's a respiratory virus" and associate it with other common airborne infections, they dismiss all of its other harms, of which there are many more that I mentioned above. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the genuine *stupidity*. The grievous wilful malice. Covid is a virus that can damage you from head to toe. Covid is a virus that is primarily spread by airborne transmission. Covid is not getting milder with repeat infections. Covid is still killing. Covid is still causing autoimmune disorders. Covid is still causing heart disease. Covid is still causing brain damage. Covid is not becoming 'just' an anything. Don't catch it. Don't spread it...

Pick O' The Year 2024

New Releases 2024 FERGUS McCREADIE TRIO - "Stream" Nothing brings me greater musical pleasure these days than the sound of a jazz piano trio. It's the perfect format (unless of course the pianist decides to sabotage the recording by 'vocalising' all the way through it. But that's another story...) Those young whippersnappers McCreadie, Bowden and Henderson win it again for me this year with the new one "Stream", not to mention their frequent appearances on the radio (bla bla bla dum-de-dum BBC Radio Three "New Generation Artists" bla bla bla and so forth). Fergus's playing is, as always, absolutely astonishing and there are plenty of banging self-penned tunes, all steeped in traditional 'folk music' flavours, coupled with some great improvisational interplay. First-class acoustic piano, double bass and drums, guaranteed no extraneous grunting and groaning - what more can anyone ask for? THE SMILE - "Wall of Eyes...

C-C-C-Cold!

Week from Monday 18th November 2024 - I've had the opportunity this week to finish off a couple of MUSIC PROJECTS:- I've 'processed' the latest download from the STICK MEN (BOOTLEGS) concern, plus I've been doing the ol''DeeJay' thang and compiling another one of my famous "AMBIENT MEGAMIX" seedies, this one featuring recent space music from THE UTOPIA STRONG, MARKUS REUTER and CLOUDLAND BLUE QUARTET. Then when it was all done, I accidentally lost the finished disc down the back of a cupboard when I was moving some gear about! I eventually figured out a way to recover the disc by shifting the furniture a tad and squeezing my conveniently-emaciated arm through the gap! (In addition to the above, there's also an official STICK MEN eepee and a live CAN release due from Bandcamp on Friday.) On Thursday, the weather was atrocious, but I had to venture out to the HORSEPICKLE for a walk-in BLOOD TEST, ahead of next Tuesday's telephone consu...

King Crimson 2015

-
On the 5th September 2015 , ten whole years ago now, we had the opportunity to see the newly invigorated KING CRIMSON in its 'seven-headed-beast' configuration for the first time. I thought it might be interesting (for me anyway!) to revisit the bloggydiarythingy for that time, in all its unabridged entirety - the ANTICIPATION, the EXPERIENCE, the AFTERMATH. I'm afraid that, looking back, it does read as a bit 'gushingly fanboy' at times, but these were MY opinions, MY thoughts and MY feelings as they wuz writ. I might not necessarily agree with MYSELF now, especially on the subject of 'all that drumming', but I've recently heard the whole show again via the DGMlive.com concern and it's a fair appraisal when all's said and done... (Listening back to it now, I still stand by my opinion that I preferred "Larks' Tongues II" and "Level Five" when played live by the STICK MEN, rather than by the full-blown KCrim.) Week fr...
