Indeed. Incredibly, they have a shelf full of prog rock related books. Tragically, I already own most of them.

Well that’s lovely. My iMac started going wonky on me two days ago, spent most of yesterday trying to figure it out. At the same time Firefox appears to have updated and ditched all my tabs, book marks etc and now Pages keeps quitting. I think the universe is telling me to retire.

Adding some much-needed serenity into the office this morning with Bill Nelson, Theo Travis and Dave Sturt’s beautiful improvisations.

Dumb struck by the magnificence of Debra's awesome charity shop purchase that manages to capture something of the medieval and Cecilia GimΓ©nez's Ecce Homo restoration. #Caturday #cats #Cats

Welcome to Soft Machine Thirteen, the latest, and to my ears, the best release since their Legacy days and beyond. Very groovy cover art with its echo of the head on Seven, and I'm pleased to say my sleeve notes adorn the CD version. Hurrah for Soft Machine.

In fairness to you, that was my reaction when I took the snap. The shadow of the contrail against the flat cloud was far deeper than it is on the photo and thus a lot weirder.

It's really very good - all of it, not just the side with Jack.

Black & White Raga, by Group Sounds Four & Five 7 track album

I mention this just in case you haven't come across it, but Jack is on the first three tracks on this splendid album, including one of his early compositions, Snow, circa 1966.
