2012 — 22 April: Sunday
At the moment1 the sunshine suggests we may be safe for an early walk. (Doing our bit to emulate the Marathon runners. But slowly.) Fingers crossed.
I enjoy a good argument to a logically absurd extreme. I'm not sure this is one. And the comments it's attracted are all part of the fun, of course.
Pity
Now I'll never know2 how they managed such an unfeasibly speedy-sounding trip...
I suppose it's funny that my first-ever drive-by clickjacking attempt happens while innocently browsing the LA Times.
I was never a big fan of Disco, but Nemone has just played Cerrone's "Supernature" which I fondly recall being used behind a Hot Gossip dance routine on a Kenny Everett video show many years ago. I'm getting old, Christa! :-)
Well, despite the Beeb's forecast telling me that I'm in the middle of heavy rain right now, the sun is still shining. I'm off for my walk.
Back...
... after our six-mile stroll around Hinton Ampner. I'm now showered, have lunched, and have just finished downloading a Marcus Miller album that revisits "Tutu" by Miles Davis. I very much enjoy the soundtrack Miller did to the (some say terrible) film Siesta which plays with the same sort of themes that Davis did so beautifully back in the late 1950s with "Sketches of Spain".3 It's all BBC 6Music's fault. I heard a track called "What's new" by Ambrose Akinmusire, tracked it down, and had my eye caught by the Miller in one of those seductive "People who bought this also liked..." sidebars. So that's two new albums to discover.
And MP3 downloads are so damn' convenient. Tea, Mrs Landingham? It's 15:08 and the recent hail and thundery clouds are slightly less threatening. Lazy Sunday afternoon, heh?
Before I know it, it's 20:23 and I'm just coming to the end of my second Ane Brun album, "Duets". Excellent stuff. [Pause] And have the Eurythmics ever made a better album than their soundtrack to 1984? I think not. [Pause] I like music. But it's now 23:20 and a chap needs his beauty sleep. G'night.
