Oooh, just came out of an online meeting...and turned the music back on...BOWIE. The funny thing is that I had the urge to listen to this exact song before going to bed last night. Thank you for the synchronicity!
Hi @DIL - hanging in there, thanks. More of the same, like everyone else: hanging out at home, FMU soundtrack, trying to get motivated to do all the things I said I'd get done with all the extra time. How are things in London?
mariano - The weather here is SO lovely that it's odd to be feeling so great about the blue skies and warm breezes whilst still having to remind oneself of 'what's happening'. I had something of a turning point last night when I broke through the fear barrier and decided to stop sitting there on mhy arse feeling afraid and do something. So I have volunteered as an NHS volunteer today, driving supplies around, making calls to isolated elderly folk etc. Still listening to FMU pretty much 24/7, too.
@DIL: Yeah, I see that there are now 170,000 NHS volunteers, if I'm remembering the number correctly. Good for you, that's the spirit. Glad to see there will soon be home testing kits available in the UK as well.
mariano - Can't remember if you were there for Handy's wobble on the Spin Age Blasters board last night, but it was something of a tipping point for me. He'd had a horrible experience and was really shaken, and it made me think 'FFS, I need to do something positive here.' Any road up, enough of that. Time for us all to groove. What's your favourite album?
Okay just came out of a meeting and just now realized that I had accidentally put on Bowie after my stream got interrupted. So to everyone who thought I was hallucinating RE Bowie's "Wild is the Wind"...sorry...
Aaand they want to get me a work phone. Fine. But now they want me to take a one hour subway ride in to pick it up. I begged them to consider FedExing it instead. Now, we are considered "essential workers" (healthcare field) and I felt an ass having to say NO to my big boss on the 3rd day of a job but seriously, I do NOT want to expose myself...
@DIL - Yeah, I was there, glad Handy's ok. Favorite album? Wow, just thinking about it gives me a panic attack, lol. Too many to pick from, so many genres, depends on where my head is.
TDK - My dad told me once about the famous London 'pea-souper' fogs of the late 40s / early 50s. Once he was on the bus home and all the traffic just had to stop as it was a total white-out. He said you literally could not see anything, even the hand in front of your face. Luckily for him, there was a blind man on the bus, and he guided my dad home!
Where to begin... White Album, Arthur, Hunky Dory, The Meters, Somethin' Else, Everything Went Black, Plastic Surgery Disasters, Heartwork, so many more.
I've been to London twice. Once around 1985 and once around 2005. Incredible change. It seemed like the whole city had been power-washed. Didn't seem like the same place.
Ha! That happened to me once but in an outdoor "drive-in" theater in the mountains of West Virginia. The 3 of us were eating our popcorn and here came the thickest fog. That was it, we went home. Hee! Did they have drive-ins in England?
p20 - Yeah, well observed there. All the buildings starting getting washed in the 80s. When you look at film or TV from the 70s it's amazing now. Don't know if you know 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' from 1979, but when the main character walks through Piccadilly, you can see that the walls are black.
@DIL - I've always been a musical omnivore, like everyone else here, so probably easier to break the choices down by genre. Oh yeah, been revisiting a lot of mid-90s/early 2000s hip hop as well, some great albums there: Illmatic, Black on Both Sides, various Wu Tang albums.
I am using past tense "did" for drive-ins as I'm guessing they don't exist anymore. Am I wrong? David, I figured that the UK had no drive-ins. It was a truly Ameruhkin invention.
One thing was, at a drive-in you would most likely take a small metal audio speaker from a stand next to the driver's window and afix it onto the half-opened window. Some folks forgot to remove the speaker when leaving, resulting in calamity.
Hey friends and Duane. Ain't checked in for a while. My BIL is going back to southern China next week. Then gonna bring his family to Armenia, hopefully. Been doing a lot of landscaping in the backyard and cooking.shit the mushrooms are almost ready.
I catch about a 3rd of Duanes shows and I don't comment often in general but that L.T.D track got me to look at the playlist ... work out that it's an old show so follow the link to that and see I commented on that very same track before - that one of the youTube comments said "the duane train bought me here".
@TDK - actually it was Cannonball Adderley's Somethin' Else, but I love the Kinks one as well - hard to find fault with an album that has Waterloo Sunset, Two Sisters, and David Watts. My two Kinks' favorites though are probably Arthur and Village Green.
The Cannonball LP is classic Blue Note. Miles on trumpet, Hank Jones on piano, Sam Jones and Art Blakey rounding it out. Has that classic version of Autumn Leaves. vimeo.com...
Duane.. no joke - wee Simon of Madrid just said "I love this song."..
I queried how do ya know it. He said: THEY ALWAYS PLAY IT AT PARTIES!!
Thanks for the house party!!! He and I..
