Gov't Mule & Star Gate Atlantis... ho-hum !!

Greetings World's !!

It's been a couple of days, since I last put finger to keyboard - I missed yesterday..... sorry about that. I wasn't being tardy - I just had a bad day + our beautiful Daughter came over & I was just happy with everything, with her being here & how she helped me !! More of that later.......

It's now a Saturday & I'm here, with B.... she is actually in the side garden, hanging some washing out. I'm not really sure why - it was raining a little while back.... oh well....

She was not in a happy mood earlier !! She had a letter, from her bank.... someone has got hold of her card details & has done a "test buy" over in America.......

By that, I mean, they used the card, to buy something small - just £5 worth. Once that had gone thru' - which it didn't (thank's to the bank) the person would of done a clear out, of B's account, the bastards !!

The problem is now, she has to wait for a new card & that could take a couple of weeks !! Bummer !! Also - she has to change some details, on stuff she gets thru' "Pay Pale".... all a bloody pain in the ass !! She feels a little happier now.... it's still a bloody pain tho' - so, if you're that person.... not that I can think you are.... look out, the bank on the case !!

Anyhoo - that was a little earlier.... she is a little happier now - mainly as there is a craft fair, in the village (which she didn't know about) and she is going along, with one of our nicer neighbours. I hope she finds something she likes !!

I mentioned above - that ME came over yesterday & really helped me out of a problem...... to explain !! To do that - I need to go back, well... many, many Moons.

There was an old film, which I thought had been a cinema release & I had searched, in vain, for years, to get the soundtrack to the thing.... with-out any luck at all !! Then - as mentioned, I had pulled out some old tapes - that was on Wednesday, soooooo check an earlier post - and one of those tapes, had a few minutes, of the s/t on one side. With me so far ?!

Anyhoo - B came up with the suggestion, of looking for the movie - on the 'net - to see if it was available, on DVD...... which it was, but only as a VHS transfer - so there was no guarantee as to the quality - but, it also turned out, that the movie was actually a TV film !!

I had always looked for it, as a movie..... hence I was looking in the wrong place. The movie was broadcast, in 1973 - so it was a lot older than I thought.... I was completely out of the "ball park", as far as my searches had been !!

Sooooo - having found out, some more details, I went looking for the s/t..... to see if it was still available & it was !! "Yippeee !!"....  This is where ME came into the picture & was able to help me out.... bless her...

I couldn't find any copies, on Cd - but on "eBay" there was a copy of the Lp, from somewhere in Germany. Unfortunately - I do not have the means, to order stuff, from the 'Bay' - but ME does & - in a  nut shell - she ordered it up for me !! Brilliant !!

Now - we're waiting on "when & if" so to speak, the thing arrives. It'll go straight to the M & M's house - mainly as it's being done in ME's account & stuff. I think it's the first thing, that I've had in this way.... tho' many years ago, I bought some film "stills" for ME & I think that was an "eBay" thingy. I can't really remember !!

I will let you know, exactly how things go - when the Lp reaches us. My plan is to put straight onto Cd... so, that might be interesting !! I will let you know.... ho-hum !!

That's for another day - the music of the moment, is another Gov't Mule live tape. This time, recorded at the Beacon Theatre, in New York on December 31st 2009 (?). I would like to think, that one day, the band would make this show available officially, but for now, I have to make do with this version.

The tracks are:

  1) Bad Little Doggie
  2) Inside, Outside Woman Blues
  3) Piece Of Your Heart
  4) Soul Sacrifice
  5) Fish Cheer - Matt Abts
  6) Dark Star
  7) Somebody To Love
  8) I Put A Spell On You
  9) Don't Do It
10) Mean Misstreater

I think that's all of the tracks - I can't really remember !! I've had a bit of a 'Mule day really..... I played the 'Stoned Mule' album, a little while ago & I'm hoping to play 'Sco-Mule' in a short while, if time permits. The latter is one that I didn't like, too much, when I got the Cd's.....but, it's grown on me, over the last few weeks.

Oh well..... it's a good day for music & that's a fact !! Maybe not so much, for The Labour Party..... they have just elected a new leader !! If things go, the way he wants, I guess The Conservative Party will stay in "power" for a good while yet !! Bit of a bummer really.... will

Right, my plans for the rest of the day.....

As mentioned, B is going out.... so, I'll be either playing music, or watching TV. There is an episode of 'Stargate Atlantis' in the DVD player & I might try & give that a go..... I've been working my ways thru' the 5 seasons, of the show, soooooo from time to time, I just chill out & watch a bit of the thing. It's all good - I just wanted something a little different to look at.....

That's about it really...... so, I better be on my ways.

I thank you for your time, logging in & reading my words. Another "Hello" to my reader in Turkey.... thank's for logging in again, or whatever you're doing !! I must go..... until next time....

Bye Bye
