Beautiful spring day here too, slightly spoiled by a howling westerly which on past form will blow massive clouds of dust in from drought-stricken western QLD. Still, mustn’t grumble.

The mem has gone back to b […]

Spooky Tooth and Pink Floyd at Middle Earth, ditto. Dylan and Janis Joplin at the Albert. Stones in Hyde Park, only this time they wouldn’t be rubbish. Beatles, but with no girls in the audience, chiz.

First c […]

That depends on your definition of ‘best album’, I submit. (Speaking as one who had a comp in his list.)

Assume it would be against the devil-may-care spirit of this thread to actually check, so:
1. Spooky Two – Spooky Tooth

The Balliol was a postwar trainer. They had a penchant for wacky names earlier – the Bobolink, the Bugle, the Bodmin and the Partridge come to mind. Then there was the Sidestrand and the Overstrand…

I’d have gone for Fiat CR42, Fiat G50 and Fiat BR20. Any good?

It is now.

Here you go… 🙂

Had a couple of near misses this spring, but working on the theory they’ll leave me alone, I’m filling up the bird bath in the front yard every day. Seems to be working so far.

That’s more like it!

Singing, same.

USA and ANZ are like UK, oceans of mind-numbing garbage, interspersed with treasures. ABC in Oz turn out excellent stuff, and like the Beeb take their role as public broadcaster seriously. Also like the Beeb, […]
