horsemouth (and his first world problems) at the site of the great space mirror

horsemouth is up. he has a snotty nose. but today is the day of the great smart meter fit out so he has to be on good form. there's the getting the meter hooked up to the broadband that might have to be done over the phone. horsemouth is being anxious or rather he's not he's just 'marching towards the sound of guns' and hoping everything will be ok. 

contrary to his reputation as a lover of science horsemouth is in fact a bit of a technophobe (ok ok he's a lot of a technophobe). he vastly prefers technology where he can understand how it works and has a reasonable chance of fixing it. and he prefers to have things in his control rather than have to rely upon others that said he also has a dreadful tendency to attempt to get by without knowing what he needs to know (the condition of the modern world). he likes to shrug off responsibility (to delegate is the more polite word) onto others and thus he regularly finds himself in the fix of resenting others and having to chase them up simultaneously.

that's where he may be today. 

ok he's looked it up it all looks possible (though at worst it may require a phonecall).  

meanwhile... last night a phonecall to his mum. in the day a walk with TG to the site of the great space mirror (there are photos and they are very good). 

so are there any regular american primitive guitar 'radio' shows? (on the internet)

probably not. (people have recommended some shows that sometimes feature american primitive guitar stuff - horsemouth will give them a listen and repost them here. sideways through sound seems really decent and to have plenty of hawkwind references.)

from 6 years ago the robbie basho 'throwing shade' show - horsemouth suddenly found himself deeply immersed in the beauty of robbie basho's playing, it reached in and got him in the heart and the beauty of his voice. it is a beautiful but sad and lonely place where basho is. it is genius

this time he also enjoyed the chat in the radio show - this time he wasn't disturbed by the accusations that robbie was a solitary because he'd assiduously researched robbie basho's collaborations. 

this evening (assuming the power is on - see what a catastrophist he is) a zoom meeting of the communal endeavour prior to the AGM on the wednesday. at the weekend may eve and the devil rides out. 

-----------------

ok the power will definitely be on because the smart meter dude has been already and there's nothing he can do until the power grid people have done something first (changed the company head in fact, old installations not being up to the safety standards of modern installations and category B as the dude informed him). dude was about 18. so now horsemouth waits to be contacted. it's a pity. the longer it takes the less horsemouth's chances of getting himself (and the house) swapped back onto the (cheaper) smart meter tariff that he used to be on.
