Because they’re simple and easy, and make for easy compensation of a lack of blogging, the bullet points return:
- It’s done
- The Basics shows have been rocking. Really enjoying them.
- I finally tracked down a copy of Al Di Meola‘s Elegant Gypsy album (surprised it was so hard to find – it was his biggest release) and have been enjoying it. Crazy moog work from Mr Hammer (his collaborative fusion work is the only stuff of his that I’ve enjoyed). Oh, the Di Meola guy can play a mean guitar lick too.
- I was quite struck by 2 Corinthians 3:7-4:18 yesterday. Thought it was some cool encouragement.
- I’m vacillating between quite liking the new LCD Soundsystem release and finding it a bit ordinary. I’m not sure which side of the fence I’ll end up on. Really good sounds though.
- New AFX Analord compilation is good though, enjoying it
- Despite certain members of U2 detesting it, Passengers is awesome. Well most of it anyway. There are a couple of dud tracks (Elvis Ate America, anyone?)
- Yes I bought a lot of CDs lately
- We decided randomly to watch The Matrix last night for the first time in years. So pleasant to watch with the other two movies long forgotten. Reminded me why I became such a big fan back in the day.
- Carly’s cool. No really, living with her is super awesome.

Elegant Gypsy! Surely one of the greatest.
Look for some Jan Ackerman. If you can get hold of it, Jan Ackerman 3 is one I remember pretty well.
Long live the 70′s!
You posting a gig review buster? Or an afterparty review at least?
I had considered doing so. But if I’m going to do one, are you?
Sure am. I’ve got the first par down. It’s going to be a long one methinks. If I get around to it.
