Amazing novel
Rewatch of The Godfather tonight, always bits you forget, its such a complex plot.
Last day of mini break finally did something creative. Recorded a mournful instrumental for my neoclassical project using my (octave longer) melodica for the first time.
Bought a Steppenwilf Best of. I only knew Born to be wild. Amazing that was recorded as early as it was. Bits of Doors, Free and psychedelica in their other stuff.
Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut is a really nasty story don't you think? New Yorker after the war had a bleak view of human nature.
Back to my tried n tested times for the return journey. The question is will bus 2 be fast enough to vcatch the 1535 train or will i have to wait for 1550. Making up for slow trip down. Btw why has it gone cold again?
Sounds like hyperbole to me
Two years today "Loners" was published. 6 stories alongside art from Steven Heaton. Copies still available from here. 2nd in an exemplary series of story/art collaborations.

One mess up on my 3 bus, 1 train journey to my dad, and the whole journey seems to fall apart, turning an under 3 hr journey into a tiresome 4 hour one.
Being a European project manager in the age of Brexit didn't help :)
I've a year to make something of my 50s, which, Confingo book aside, has been a bit of a binfire of a decade! Time for some changes I think. Another Piscean then!
Tomorrow I enter my 60th year on this planet; fair to say I am none the wiser. Who knows where the time goes?
I do love Demon Days, so anytime I want to listen to Gorillaz its probably this one (or occasionally Plastic Beach).
New substack tomorrow. Elvis in concert, how its first readers encountered Ulysses, objects of my childhood, and this weeks literary event for above/ground press.

Remember Trump and Netanyahu are going to be doing stuff like this until they are jailed/out of office. Power has to be held to account by the electorate, constitution, legal system or markets, or else it becomes untameable. The guardrails of a democracy are stronger than an autocracy thats all.
Had a flashback to my disastrous 20s last night for some reason. No thank you, not again.
V nice full English from Crazy Cow Caf, Didsbury
I am just reading Time Shetter. Mann is every where at the moment!
Its a bit one sided
A fine haul today despite almost getting locked in the chazzer
It had to happen one day. Got locked in a charity shop whilst checking if I had a particular DVD. Luckily the staff found me in time :) #onbrand
Life has got in the way of social events recently. Tempted to get tickets for later in the year to Fcukers, Pat Metheny, Thundercat, Tricky & Anna Meredith. Diverse enough?

Raye tonight. I was tempted to break my coop live duck and get a last minute ticket. It will have be Robyn....
Theres something about a mid Feb cold snap, so long into winter, thst really rubs salt in the wound.
Another day. Another eye hospital appointment. #thistoowillpass
Reading my first translation from the Bulgarian.
Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen
Picked up the Music from Cosmos LP recently and just listened for first time. Mostly Vangelis interspersed with classical music. A lovely listen.
