Day Thirty to Thirty-Three

Thursday was spent mostly:

Listening to music – early EPs from the Catskills record label (first released in the late ‘90s with a sound midway between big beat and trip-hop, a kinda cross between Mo’Wax and Skint), the new Brian Jonestown Massacre album, Don’t Get Lost (which has a more dubby/krautrocky sound to it than previous BJM albums), Elvis’ Promised Land LP (as the old album says 50 million Elvis fans can’t be wrong!), a collection of Earthling tracks (an underappreciated group with the ‘90s Bristol sound) and Citizenn’s Songs of Praise + Worship EP (dub techno like back in the early '90s, e.g. Sabres of Paradise, Hard Hands and Secret Knowledge)

And reading comics:

I also got confirmation that my job application had been received and is being assessed, so fingers crossed.

On Friday I went up to London for a ‘Pay Day Pint’ with some friends, party to check in with how the DH is doing a month after losing 500 people (hint – not so well for those on the ground, doing the actually work) and to ‘Logan’ (defo is the best Wolverine film, mostly because it isn’t caught up with cramming in as many cameos as possible and trying into previous films or setting up future films).

The new 6th Borough Project album (Find Your Rhythm) arrived digitally (with the physical copy arriving tomorrow) and I also, got a NHS Jobs email alert highlighting another job I should apply for, so that will keep me busy for a few days.

Saturday was mostly spent with a hungover from Friday and not much else! The cd of 6th Borough Project’s Find Your Rhythm arrived with a free tape of exclusive mixes from The Revenge and OOFT (which left me wondering who has a tape player to hand anymore and then remembering that I’ve got a Tape to mp3 converter tape deck, so I got a load of faffing about to do to setting it up so that I can listen to the tape and to make it into a mp3!).

On Sunday I listened to 6th Borough Project’s Find Your Rhythm, some great house music with a timeless feel (it sounds like it could have been made at any time in the last 30 years, but it doesn’t sound nostalgic or like it’s aping/mimicking someone else), well worth getting.

And there is just under a month until iZombie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IZombie_(TV_series)) returns, or at least in the US, not sure when it’ll air in the UK.
