REM & other old stuff... ho-hum....

Hi Again Worlds !!

So, after a short break - I'm back again...... my thanks to you all, who have logged in over the last couple of days.  I'm sorry there was nothing new for you to read.....

It's a Tuesday, here in old England.  It's a little cold out side, but nothing too bad.  I had to go down to the Dr's this morning.... another blood test !! This time, to try & get to the bottom of why I'm bruising up so bad. I'll get the results in a day or 2 I guess.....

Never mind.... B took me down in the car & now she has gone into town........ mainly to do a bit of shopping & to take in a gym class.  It's the first time she has been, since last week.  The Dr told her to rest & that's exactly what she has been doing.  As far as I was concerned, she could of missed today, as well - but, she wanted to go.... so, I'm not going to argue !!

So - with B away for a couple of hours, J is here looking out for me....... ME is at work today, so she won't be home for quite a while.  I don't think she'll finish until after 8 tonight, so it will be at least 9pm before she gets home.

The music of the moment is Nine Inch Nails set from 'Woodstock 94'..... I was making a DVD copy of the video (recorded at the time) and the Nails were on it - that reminded me to dig out the Cd of the show. It's well good & has been a big favourite of mine over the years !!

I also have a Zeppelin show, from September 11th 1971....... it's only part of the concert, but the tracks are:

CD 1

1) Celebration Day
2) That's The Way
3) Going To California
4) What Is & What Should Never Be
5) Moby Dick
6) Whole Lotta Love

CD 2

1) Immigrant Song
2) Heartbreaker
3) Since I've Been Loving You
4) Black Dog
5) You Shook Me - Whole Lotta Love
6) Organ Solo
7) Thank You

It's only part of the concert, from Rochester N.Y. but, it's worth having in the collection.  As you might be able to tell, from the mixed up track listing.... these Cd's came out separately. So - I've listed them together, just to make it easier !!

Just to show how "bad" some bootlegs are - the second Cd was listed on the cover as being from Leeds, here in England ..... only 3000 miles out there guys !!  So - as always, don't buy bootlegs, get the official stuff instead !!  More another time.....

As I've mentioned, I spent some time recording the 'Woodstock 94' video, over to DVD..... as I type - I'm making myself a copy of REM's 'Unplugged' show.... from many many moons ago !!  I knew I had a copy, some place, but it was still a surprise to find it !!  I've thrown away sooooo videos now, I'm sure I've missed a few good ones !!

And - just staying with music.... B took me into town yesterday & I picked up a copy of Black Country Communion's 'Live In Europe' Cd..... it's Ok - but, not so good as I hoped.  Disc 2 is - for me - the best... the Joe Bonamassa guitar work is well good......

Anyhoo - enough of music....

It's September 11th & the anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York.  Our thoughts & prayers go out to all of you who lost loved ones on that day... or were, in some other way, involved.

Myself - as long term readers will know - I was in hospital at the time & my friend (a porter) kept coming in & telling me what was happening.  I didn't see too much of it, until I came home a week later - but, as with most people - will never forget what happened !!

I'm also thinking of a guy, who was in the next bed to me (in hospital).... he didn't know anything about the attack, as he had just had surgery & was more or less "out of it" for the whole of that day.  When B brought me in the papers, on the 12th.... well, he couldn't believe what he has missed.

He actually lived here in our village & unfortunately died a few years ago......

Right - just going to turn the Nails off & listen to a bit of REM.... the video is near it's end & I don't want to mess up the DVD.  Quite a difference - between the hard rock of Nine Inch Nails & the acoustic guitars of the unplugged set !!

I had a good bit of news this morning.... my friend in South America is coming back here on Friday.  I'm not sure if he's going to be staying or not - the last I heard, he was hoping his girlfriend could get a Canadian visa.  maybe he is bringing her with him..... whichever, it'll be good to meet up again.

The music of the moment is now a 1988 Gun's & Roses video !!  Not much of a change.... it's surprising how well the old vid's sound after all these years !!  Well pleased about that.......

Right, my plans for today.... I don't know really !!  I'm listening to some old tapes & transferring them over to Cd.... but, that takes a bit of time & concentration on my part..... something my brain lacks at the moment !!  I'm sure I'll find some thing to amuse myself with, for a few minutes at least... ho-hum !!

Anyhoo - I will be on my ways.... I thank you all for logging in & hope you're find time to read my words again.... until next time...

Bye Bye
