horsemouth is up early. ok no horsemouth has told a lie because of the clocks going forward he is not up early. (now he has to reset the clock on his computer)..
yesterday having correctly executed the child minding tasks he had been given (after an unpromising start) he went up to the fields to catch up with denise, dave and claudia and the fields people (good to see you all) but he didn't fancy a wander up the pub (still a bit too spready).
he regrets this but to be frank he had to have a lie down between the morning's tasks and the fields in the afternoon.
yesterday was anniversary of the release of moon madness (1976) by camel. horsemouth saw them round about the time of stationary traveller (1984). so he didn't see them with the classic line up. a friend first had the live album (which has a cracking version of lunar seas). the early stuff is great sounding because of peter bardens' organs, mellotrons and early synths but it always has a tendency to get a bit clean and tuneful. they were very musical. the best tunes narrowly escape it.
of course in the eighties you could pick all this stuff up cheap because it was unfashionable. the cassettes went west but he still has moon madness and nude on vinyl (somewhere). ultimately the fact that it was so cheap dented horsemouth's appreciation of it.
the outlaw bookseller wanders up to hay-on-wye (well ok no his wife drives him). horsemouth finds these slices of life very enjoyable. he recommends a toothbrush to clean the textblock of the book (to et rid of the dust) and a rub down with hand sanitiser (unscented) to clean the covers. that the spine be unbroken and there are not too many dog-ears is his requirement, that someone has snipped out the price from a corner of the DJ or dust jacket this bothers him less. condition is important to him.
it's a grey morning. the weather is due to go cold and grey again. still even though it is pleasantly hot in the sun in the daytime it rapidly grows cold in the evening. horsemouth still feels whacked. later today a wander.
soon the fifth week of march. a face-to-face meeting of the communal endeavour. triple negative play a gig.
