I saw Marillion in Edinburgh. It was a fantastic night and felt like a real celebration. They were clearly very happy to be back on tour. Lovely old venue too. 🎵
Updated everything and, of course, Podcasts is broken on the Homepods. Apple should dump their crappy app and buy something better. Back to Pocket Casts for me.
There are lots of things I like about Drummer blogging and lots of things I don’t. I’m good at following instructions but switching to https/personal domains and even sharing images is a bit beyond me. I’ll keep at it and see how it develops though.
This a great little story.
A rock star’s favourite guitar was stolen. One of his biggest fans tracked it down in Japan.
Family members have had Covid over the last week. I tested negative but I’m pretty sure I’ve had a mild dose. We’ve all been double-vaccinated so no one has developed serious problems. It’s quite annoying after all the special care we’ve taken over the last 18 months to avoid it.
Hello from Drummer. It’s nice to have new things to play with.
Le Cercle Rouge, 1970 - ★★★★
Watched on Sunday October 17, 2021.
Another MP is murdered in the UK and people are trying to score points in the usual places. Twitter and Facebook have poisoned the well and I don’t think there’s any way back.
I love Steely Dan and this is a great interview. Donald Fagen is supposed to be working on a new solo album. 🎵
Talking Nabokov and Judaism with the Steely Dan co-founder, whose first live album comes out today.
Watched the old Hammer classic The Devil Rides Out again. It has some genuinely scary scenes but I can’t help laughing at some of Christopher Lee’s hammier lines. It still stands up quite well despite being over fifty years old. 🍿
