David Gilmour 'Rattle The Lock' Ho-hum....

Greetings World's !!

I hope you're all doing well, this fine October day ?! It's a little overcast today..... which has made it a little warmer. The last few bright days have been bright & chilly, sooooo we can't have it all I guess.

B took me into town, a few hours back..... mainly as I wanted some shelf stuff, from a shop which is in the middle of it's closing down sale. I kind of messed up there...... in as much as I was too late, most of what I wanted was already sold out !!

It was kind of weird - because half the shop was being stripped bare.... the staff were in the middle of taking everything down. The other part of the shop was, well.... some of the shelves were mixed up - with bits of everything on them, while other shelves were almost empty..... all very surreal !!

Nevermind - I didn't get everything I wanted.... just some uprights, but that's enough for now. The actual shelf holders, I can get at other places. True - they will be more expensive, but.... that's life.

Right - I mentioned My Wife & Dearest Friend..... who, at the moment is in Taunton, shopping with our our Daughter ME. She came over, a short while ago & the pair of them have gone walkabout !! I don't know how long they will be - but..... I have to be at the Dr's in a few hours, sooooo - they should be home by then !! Hope so at least !!

So - that just leaves me home alone...... apart from whichever cats might be in the house. I know the oldest one, is over to my left, but I don't know about the others. If they have any sense, they will be up on the bed someplace, snuggled into the blankets !!

As for the music of the moment....

Well, it's an older Dream Theater live set.... which I've probably listed a few times before. Anyhow... it's the 'Chaos In Motion 2007-2008' box set & the tracks are:

CD 1

1) Intro - Also Sprach Zarathustra
2) Constant Motion
3) Panic Attack
4) Blind Faith
5) Surrounded

Cd 2

1) The Dark Eternal Night
2) Keyboard Solo - Jordan Rudess
3) Lines In The Sand
4) Scarred
5) Forsaken
6) The Ministry Of Lost Souls


CD 3

1) Take The Time
2) In The Presence Of Enemies
3) Schmedley Wilcox

The very last track is a medley of stuff & clocks in at around the 21 minute mark...... not the longest track, on the collection, that's 'In The Presence Of Enemies' - which clocks in at 26 minutes !! I do like my long live tracks !!

Yesterday, I picked up a copy of the latest David Gilmour studio album 'Rattle That Lock'...... the tracks on that are:

  1) 5am
  2) Rattle That Lock
  3) Faces Of Stone
  4) A Boat Lies Waiting
  5) Dancing Right In Front Of Me
  6) In Any Tongue
  7) Beauty
  8) The Girl In The Yellow Dress
  9) Today
10) And Then......

 I can't really offer an opinion about it, yet - mainly as I've not played it at all. Ok - I played a couple of tracks, but I wasn't really listening to them, too hard. When Dream Theater ends, I'll give it a little go thru'.

I saw Mr Gilmour on TV, about a week or so ago & he played a couple tracks, from the album..... but, once again, I wasn't really listening !! I still have the recording, so - if it's any good, I'll put it over to Cd, at some point.... time will tell on that....

Going back 24 hours....

B & I went up to a new material/craft shop - she loved it !! The old phrase "kid in a sweet shop" came to mind.... she didn't know where to look, especially as, it seemed, everything she saw, she wanted !! It was Ok - it was her birthday gift, from me - sooooo, I don't care how much it cost, she was happy !!

It was a bit further, than we thought.... about 25 miles...... but, now we know where it is, we are sure to go again & again, I guess !!

Right - I better think about closing off, for now at least. As I mentioned above - in a couple of hours or so, I have to visit the Dr's again...... too much pain & only so much morphine to kill it all !!

I intend just sitting down & letting things rest up for a while..... it might help, tho' - as always, time will tell I guess....

Sooooo as always - I thank you for logging in & reading my words. Hopefully,. I will be back before the weekend, I'll have to see how things go & what we're doing in the meantime.... thank's anyhoo... until next time...

Bye Bye
