I'm glad that you've finally got a proper telly now after waiting in all day.

I'd also want to tell everyone what's on telly tonight if I'd patiently waited in all day and not even gone out on this muggy fair August afternoon.

I've got a slow leak on my central heating system, I'm going to have to wait in some more while they try and find out where it is, without lifting all the floorboards in the house,

I'm drinking the fourth and final glass of champagne out of the bottle that was previously mentioned, the one from Saturday's delivery.

Thanks to ShedPlan 2019 I now have the ability to stock up on bottles of wine without drinking them before I should

Today they disconnected the radiator and old pipping that I thought was leaking, So if the pressure dosn't drop the the fault is the bit that's been disconnected, if it does drop, then the problem is with the other bits.

The water pressure is still dropping, but not as fast as before.

Two leaks?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I assume they've checked that the boiler's pressure release valve hasn't failed?

[geordie accent]Day One[/geordie accent], disconnected the boiler from the Central Heating system's pipes.


Needle didn't move.

Anyway, as I was going to say, I bought a magazine to give me something to do while I waited in. I've not read a print album review in years.

'…wryly ruminative vocal tone balancing shade and sweetness impeccably. Oddball keyboard lines and woozy horn seem to mirror the swaying spectres invoked…'

I think they're even more pointless and bad than I remember them.

Today they disconnected the radiator and old pipping

Bitch, Please.

Although I did like the article on the first Suicide album, with the Rolling Stone review from 1977:

'I've heard stolen riffs before, but this is far worse: raping and pillage of entire concepts… Suicide's songs are absolutly puerile, and Alan Vega's vocals covey nothing but arrogance and wholesale insatiability'

"What's it like? Well, I don't much like it, but then I have a thing about the Beatles. Since Revolver I've been buying their albums, playing them a couple of times, and then forgetting about them. The last album was, admittedly, exciting in places, but I still don't play it much because there's still too much stuff on it that should have been edited...Of course, the Beatles are still the Beatles, but it does tread a rather tenuous line between boredom, Beatledom, and bubblegum...

...Side two is a disaster...The slump begins with 'Because', which is a rather nothing song...the biggest bomb on the album is 'Sun King', which overflows with sixth and ninth chords and finally degenerates into a Muzak-sounding thing with Italian lyrics. It is probably the worst thing the Beatles have done since they changed drummers. This leads into the 'Suite' which finishes up the side. There are six little songs, each slightly under two minutes long, all of which are so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to...

...It is tempting to think that the Beatles are saying with this album that the only alternative to 'getting back' for them is producing more garbage on this order, and that they have priced it so outrageously so that fewer people would buy it. But if that's so, then why bother to release it at all? They must realize that any album they choose to release is going to get a gold record just because so many people love, respect and trust the Beatles. They've been shucking us a lot recently, and it's a shame because they don't have to. Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this. Or do they? Tune in next time and find out." (Ed Ward, 11/15/69 Review)
