Sorry to hear about Glenn. I'd better listen to Stand Up tonight. Eg:
On the former subject, is "Shangri La" your favourite from those 2? Or is that "Days"? Or Vic-to-or-or-ee-aa? My daughter loves Dave's singing on "Mindless Child of Motherhood". Time for a proper appreciation of England's greatest living song-writer. After all, Ray turned 70 in June and may retire soon.

Just way too many favourites from these two albums - they're both masterpieces IMHO although this part of Shangri La always makes me smile, sardonically of course:
"The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hanging over his head
But he's too scared to complain
'cause he's conditioned that way"
Some Mother's Son is also a fave - just heartbreaking. Who writes this stuff in their 20s ?? In late 1960s Britain ???
Ray Davies is a UK national treasure - vastly under-rated and under-appreciated. Give him a bloody knighthood !!
Spiral progress, unstoppable,
exhausted sources replaced by perversion

Ole cars were easy to work on too. None of this computerised crap. In a HQ you could host a party up behind the dashboard without breaking anything.
I drive an ole diesel.
The engine is small, simple and dream to work on.
In 3 years it's never needed anythink more than a oil and filter change.
(I don't have to get the front axle put back on and conversion box totally rebuilt...but that was my fault).
Last week-end it towed 2+ tonnes of firewood and a trailer up a steep wet grassy slope and it barely noticed.

Jeannie Lewis, Free Fall Through Featherless Flight. How could I not - I just saw David's new [what's the expression, is it a] Dylan Thomas byline. I'd post a link but it doesn't seem to be on youtube. Jamie McKinley's wonderful piano, Jeannie's theatrical vocals and Michael Carlos' magic arrangement - an Australian classic.
The missus found this internet radio site where you type in a few of the bands you like and it plays a selection of what it thinks you'd enjoy.
It came up with... Camper-van Beethoven, the Meat puppets, Dinosaur Jnr and some other bands I was listening to 20 years ago and forgotten all about.
The missus has been playing all this Goth crap I can't stand... but that's a small price to pay for reconnecting with the music I grew up with and better yet it's free!!!
Cracker by cracker, Teen angst (What the world needs now).
