it's bright though (the triple suns of helliconia are out).
meanwhile horsemouth is sitting up in bed (wearing a t-shirt, a fleece, a jumper, trousers, socks and underwear) and typing this. in a bit he will consult his wordbank of stored wisdom (to see if any of it can be seamlessly mixed in).
nope nothing there.
at first horsemouth was worried that he was going to be in no internet hell. eventually service was restored. power cycle horsemouth believes it is called.
and so horsemouth is here.
yesterday he was round at suke's working on one of her tunes called turbulence, one inspired by that cosmic free jazz stuff, and a little bit of black sabbath (or is that jupiter bringer of jollity?). at some point it settles down into the going south vamp from third stone from the sun.
suke's inspiration was leon thomas's the creator has a master plan. (horsemouth dates this kind of jazz back to coltrane's a love supreme but it may go back earlier or in fact descend from sun ra).
santana for many years would lift a section of third stone for live (roughly round about gypsy queen by gabor szabo). third stone is one of the great all time journeying through outer space cosmic tracks.
horsemouth supposes the other two guitarists he'd have in this list have both played for pharoah sanders - sonny sharrock and tisziji muñoz.
across the road it looks like someone else is going for a loft extension (and thus further depriving horsemouth of sun in winter/ but not preventing himself and poor ian from being baked in summer).
horsemouth likes cities because more people can meet and interact and live their best lives. they can move around by means of public transport and bicycles (reducing transportation carbon emissions). trees can be planted to make the streets shadier in summer, there can be allotments and parks. because there is more money up and walking around it is possible for poorer artistic people to make a living - hence horsemouth is interested in increasing the number of members of the communal endeavour (poor artistic types who want to live in the city).
he would welcome loft extensions, basement extensions (hell any kind of extension) in endeavour property (he is in favour of 'garden-grubbing' and increasing the population density of the city), but the members in that house have to want it (and they may not).
in general the direction of travel within the co-op has been from larger shared houses (and communal living) towards two-bed shares (on the basis that these will be easier to manage with less conflict within them). this may (ultimately) be a mistaken view but at least it provides a direction that increases the number of members housed.
anyway it is a monday and a back to the tasks of the week type day. outside it is bright and sunny (horsemouth has already been for a walk).
