in the region of the spring equinox

 GOLD

that was the key word in the dream. the one horsemouth was not supposed to utter that fixed time on its magical track. the little boy didn't want him to utter it (but horsemouth said it anyway). thereafter time was fixed upon its track. 

and (good morning! good morning!). horsemouth is up and awake. he is still coughing but he supposes that the covid is on its way out. 

it is the anniversary of horsemouth's 2016 golden glow mix

horsemouth chose the tunes for this one. featured artists include judee sill, alice coltrane, nico, gene clark, santana, art ensemble of chicago, milton nascimento and stella chiweshe. horsemouth supposes that it could be thought of as being in the region of the spring equinox. three of his six mixes cluster nicely around the winter solstice, one clusters at the end of may/ start of june, horsemouth is considering that he should cluster the other three around the summmer solstice (despite this not really being the case).

recent changes in the contract mean that there will almost certainly be no more of these.  the cover photo is one john clarkson took during their visit to no.1 the thames.

it is also the anniversary of horsemouth's visit to a photographic exhibit that enza had some photos in back in 2022.  

horsemouth and his blogging

he began blogging on the dreaded myspace back in november 2006. this lasted until the great mysace blog dieback of june 2013. 

horsemouth started blogging on blogger in earnest (in fact just copying over the occasional feature) on 22nd june 2013. it is not until november 2020 that facebook's notes tool is demobilised and horsemouth comes to blog on blogger full-time (that is every day, if not without fail then certainly mostly). 

as he says he enjoys it 

yesterday was the 51st anniversary of bryter later - by chance horsemouth picked up a copy from the powerscroft road book box. howard sent him a new track (it's decent). he started re-reading diana athill's towards the end (a gift from the aldi book box), he listened to hawkbinge on live chronicles (an off-project filler of a show). next the xenon codex an album horsemouth has never listened to. 

it is two weeks until the spring equinox (and then we are into the bright half of the year). horsemouth hopes the year picks up (between his teeth and covid it's been a rubbish start). he supposes that he is slightly further forward on his teeth than he was.
