Set out in sunshine, but around Birmingham the heavens opened. Interesting that many people chose to carry on at the usual 80+, despite not being able to see the road or the car in front. Mad? Barking? Makes the behaviour of your small dog seem eminently reasonable to me. maybe he spotted a fish/water sprite? It would be the day I chose to drive back from Liverpool!

Well I have just returned from hols in Liverpool, so you can choose from either: ‘Mauro's sullen manner hadn’t changed.’ from Bloodfever by Charlie Higson or: ‘In the Tangerine sodomite sodality which was still mourning the loss of Joe (and Ken), at a party at Cap Spartel, Nigel met an actor whose name it would be too expensive to reveal.’ From Filthy English by Jonathan Meades. This seems to real a perhaps surprising similarity in subject matter in too such different books, but then again? Hmm, perhaps time for something completely different… Sorry, I seem to have lost the ability to bold and italic. Ah, light bedside reading, eh, Jess?

Could I do something more like a Desert Island Disc thing? Still pondering on this although difficult as I haven’t really been listening to any music for a fair while.

So, in no particular order: 1. Love Will Tear Us Apart, from the Big Session. Joy Division’s most charismatic tune went folk in this magical 2004 version June Tabor and John Boden’s harmonies are stunning. 2. Many Rivers to Cross, by CDM from Café del Mar 9, and why not. Easy listening but stands out from the crowd. 3. Jake Thakray’s Bantam Cock. Well we all need a laugh, and his delivery can’t be beaten. Very sad to hear that Jake died in such miserable circumstances, his mix of folk and chanson driven by his Catholicism is unbeatable (could I add a plea to listen to his wonderful Last will and testament). A great sinner and singer. 4. Jocelyn Pook’s Butterfly Song. A jolly pleasing noise, extraterrestrial and stunning. 5. Soy Loco by Mundo Livre S.A. Not sure what this is all about, but sounds wonderful, and comes from Brazil, do I need to say more… 6. Sabonete Do Mato (Farm-Made Soap) by N'ois (Reduction) from unknown public 08 compilation. Great sound again. 7. And just to upset the applecart, Mutron Angel off of Outcast’s Idlewild. Great voices, amazing lyrics. But isn’t that the joy of iTunes. There is all this stuff playing away, some 6050 songs and rising at the moment. On a bit of a folk jag at the moment, but perhaps I should have gone to Glastonbury. Ask me tomorrow and the list will be very different.
