Lined up for today's entertainment-while-working ...
- Steve Hillage "GGGGong-Go Long" (2 disc set, live radio broadcasts from 1977 and 1979)
- Colourbox "Colourbox" (a favorite for many years, finally upgraded from cassette to CD - even though, irritatingly, the CD version omits 3 tracks from the double-play cassette edition)
- Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers - August 11, 2006 @ The Biltmore Estates, Asheville NC
- Art Bears "Hopes & Fears" (nothin' like a little avante-jazz-pop with Socialist Worker lyrics to cheer up the day)
- Phil Lesh & Friends - December 4, 2005 Albany, NY (with the mighty John Scofield on guitar)
I came across an old story on the BBC News website a few days ago that revealed that the average British adult owns 170 albums. At the last count my collection (which I'll still maintain is "modest" giving the number of CDs which I'd like to have but haven't yet acquired) stood at around ten times that number ... plus around 5000 live concert recordings. Should I have started this entry with the statement "My name is Julian and I'm a musicaholic"??
