Do you still have all your CDs?

I think I still have every CD I’ve ever bought. I did buy a bunch of envelopes once to try and sell stuff on eBay but I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle.

In some ways, it was "Gazpacho" that sold me on the album, since it sucked me in immediately: a cautionary tale about a celebrity caught up in his own legend who falls spectacularly from grace. A story we see replayed over and over every day.

I love that song. I went to see them for the first time in years (I’d drifted away at those earlier albums tbh) and they opened with Gazpacho. When Steve Rothery’s guitar riff started I had this sudden rush of emotion. Knew then I was “home” again 🙂

Kramer is the star of the show.

I just finished another run through the whole lot. Kramer is the only one of the four who isn’t a terrible person. He’s just a big innocent “hipster doofus”.

I can’t believe I didn’t realise this was a Mike Nesmith song…..

Rio is the only one I knew for a long time. I remember hearing it on Top Of The Pops and not being impressed but I wasn’t nearly old enough to appreciate it then.

Speaking of Post Kinds, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to export all that data in a way I could use elsewhere? That might make the choice of what to do more difficult.

I like Post Kinds but I’ve always been worried about the data if I stop using it in the future. Posts just disapear when you turn it off and it would take a lot of work to put stuff back in again. I’ve been considering adding the appropriate markup manually going forward.

Released thirty years ago almost to the day. Great band that split into two more great bands – Wilco and Son Volt

I use Twitter much less because of that. It seems impossible to keep the anger out. Lots of people are going back to blogs and I think blog-reading/writing is a much better way to do things socially.

In order to stay positive, I am trying to limit my intake of news. I want facts, not sensation. Even some of the output from those sources I deem to be more measured have arguably strayed into the unnecessary at times.

The BBC has been getting loads of stick lately, some of it deserved, but I think their coverage of this has been pretty good. I think it’s been calm and useful and not at all sensational.
