It's a Monday - the start of a new week and I'm listening/watching the 'Live At Wembley' dvd that Muse put out a few years back..... I still, even after many listens/watches, can not quite get my head around these guys !! Good music - good stage show.... but something is missing for me ?
Ok - I know I'm 'old' & grew up with a different generation of bands - but, if you came here & checked out our music collection, you would see we have a very wide ranch of taste...... I'm no 'music snob' in any shape or form, I just can't get myself excited about them !! Maybe, on a different day, I will/have/would contradict myself & rave about them - but not today !!
Oh well - so whats new ?
.....well, last night I finally sorted out my Led Zeppelin list..... That is to say, brought it up to date. I 'think' I now have over 550 different titles by them. Quite a few (more than a few) are duplicates, but..... they all add to the collection. I will have to dig them all out of their various boxes & - sort off - tick them off a list to double check the exact number, but..... I still think the shows they did in 1977 are some of their best - but, each to their own !!
The most recent title, is another updated copy of the Knebworth show from 1979.... check out my August 5th post..... The copy that came a few days back, is another dvd of the show. The picture quality is SO much better than the old videos that circulated 10-20 years back !! The only downside to this latest version is the soundtrack. it's still very good, but there is some 'talking' over the top of it - kind of distracts from the general sound !!
I've taken the Muse disc out & am now playing Zep's Seattle '77 show at just below deafening !! For those interested, it's the 'Jupiter & Saturn' version that came out on the Tarantura label a while back.... a good s/b version. Please - as I'm sure I've written before - do not ask me to send you a copy or buy a copy from anyone !!! Copies are out there for free, just do not expect me to give you one !! If I can find them, so can anyone......
B is out at the moment, so the sound is pretty loud, even for me !! I'm a little down in the dumps (my health is dragging me down a bit) so, as always - music is there to cheer me up !! I shouldn't really moan - after all, I'm still breathing & that beats the alternative !!
Oh, I forgot - I've found another Ned Kelly book..... this one is from 1968 - a bit dated - but, from what I've read so far, it's quite a good book. From what I can work out, it's a publication based on a symposium held over the Easter weekend of 1967. It's been interesting, to read the various books, from different authors & from different years !! If I was a (much) younger man, I would head over to Australia & look for the various places mentioned... it would be interesting to see them first hand, rather than read about them all.
B father has just 'phoned.... there is going to be 'rumble in the jungle' tonight !! I think he is hoping to visit with his 'lady friend' tomorrow - that is NOT going to happen...... In most religions, people marry 'until death we do part' - as Mormons, we marry for life & eternity. There is no way B is going to be happy about her Dad's new partner + she still misses her Mum & (for me at least) it just does not feel right.
Ok - so, how come I've been married twice ? Simple - my ex walked out on me & thus broke our vows of marriage... It does take 2 to make a marriage to work, but walking out the door & moving 3000 miles away (I kid you not) kind of wipes the floor as far as I'm concerned !! Especially as she went for the divorce & re-married the day after it became final.... Judas Priest, I sound cranky.... but.............. life goes on !!
Never mind - I must away.... I want to try & watch some of Stargate Universe. B bought me the box set of the first season a few weeks back - to cheer me up a bit - & I've still not managed to watch them all yet !! Yep - I'm a Stargate fan, so add that to my list of sins !!
Bye Bye
