Me shows
Week from Monday 7th July 2025 - Another week for clearing up a few overdue 'MUSIC PROJECTS', mostly stuff to go on the "Miles-Related" MP3 disc... I've also initiated a new 'THON on my soshul meejer. I'm attempting to play EVERY CD or TAPE in (what I have of) the REAL WORLD RECORDS catalogue, in chronological order. And with a lot of 'fake news' circulating about there being a "NEW KING CRIMSON STUDIO ALBUM", I dug out the mix CD that I did a while back, of all the 'new' material from the Seven Headed Beast's live albums. I should really get around to printing a cover for it!
But first I have to GO OUT... I've combined my routine Tuesday Poundlanding with a trip up to the hozzy for a routine blood test. I don't think this involved any more footslogging than usual, but I'm somehow left with VERY sore feet this morning. This might be because my BLOOD PRESSURE seems to have dipped a bit lately. We'll see what the nurses say on Saturday...
Week from Monday 14th July 2025 - That TOUR DE FRANCE malarkey has already had a thrilling first week, but it doesn't half eat into my normal schedule! It consumes vast amounts of viewing time, when I should NORMALLY be doing something else.
On Saturday morning, I had a routine visit to the hozzy, but the first thing I did when I got back home was turn on the telly to watch the live CYCLING. And that was me settled for the rest of the day!
On Sunday, I didn't have time to catch up on the previous week's telly, as I would habitually do. So that remains to be done. Even Monday, which is usually a 'rest day' on LE TOUR, has got a big race instead, because the French are on holiday for BASTILLE DAY.
So it'll be "MONDAY DOING MONDAY STUFF" on Tuesday instead! (Monday is when I normally listen to all of the week's RADIO PODCASTS.) This here bloggydiarywotsit has been a bit thin lately too. For the next couple of weeks you can take it as read that I:
- Got up.
- Took my pills.
- Measured my blood pressure.
- Had breakfast.
- Caught up with some 'news' and generally bimbled around on Bloosky
- Turned on the telly for the cycling...
...and that's all he wrote... I suppose I should probably content myself with just the evening 'highlights' show, as has been necessary with all the OTHER big tours. But as this is probably the last season when I CAN watch the race LIVE in its entirety, I'm making the most of it! Even if watching sport can only lead to FRUSTRATION and DISAPPOINTMENT in the end...
It's still pretty heated outside, but I took a trip down to Gozzy to print off the covers for the latest batch of MUSIC PROJECTS and downloads (including that KING CRIMSON fake album, MARK PRITCHARD/THOM YORKE's "Tall Tales" and yet another KC-related "HOT TICKLES" mix). I also did a small amount of shopping-for-bits while I was down there. Once again I find myself humming "Mah smile is stuck, Ah cannot go back to your Poundland..."
It just occurred to me that I've missed yet another SOUTHAMPTON MELA due to my Saturday hospitalling...
Week from Monday 21st July 2025 - Everybody's banging on about BLACK SABBATH on my Bloosky timeline this morning, 'cos OZZY OSBORNE has died. It's sad when someone passes on, but the shambling buffoon meant nothing to me. I'll just leave them to it...
He's being lauded in the media as one of the originators of HEAVY METAL. Well, that may be true, but Heavy Metal is a ridiculous genre of entertainment which deserves all of the comedic mocking it has received over the years. My usual reaction upon hearing a highly-acclaimed 'eavy band has always been...
"What? seriously??"
A quick visit into town, to deposit some cash and pick up a few 'bits' from the cheaper supermarkets, then it's back to the 'music projects', before settling down for today's TOUR DE FRANCE.
We've reached that critical time of year when there is often a clash between the TOUR and the PROMS. It goes without saying that an awful lot of the Proms concerts these days consist of BBC orchestras grinding out the same old popular works, so I generally don't bother. But there are a few occasional exceptions which deserve attention. Tonight, L'ORCHESTRE NATIONAL are playing an all-French programme, with some Ravel and Chausson, plus some tedious same-ol'-same-'ol mid-eighteenth-century stuff. I got bored with that and listened to "THE GOON SHOW" instead. Later in the evening, the ENSEMBLE INTERCONTEMPORAIN are paying tribute to Pierre Boulez. I'll save that for the morning.
