as sad a tale as you will ever hear (and the wa-aa-aar... drags on...)

horsemouth waits to hear where the grand scheme is going. 

it was the best of schemes. it was the most beautiful of schemes. but it can't be done as is. 

forward to the scheme that can be done. 

it is ten years since the mixcloud mix done above. horsemouth selected the tunes and howard constructed the mix. it still sounds decent - judee sill, alice coltrane, art ensemble of chicago, milton nascimento. carlos santana, van der graaf generator. 

horsemouth very much enjoyed doing these mixes. he thinks that as time went on they got better, simultaneously wider and more focused.

today is also the death day of mark linkous (sparklehorse) who died by suicide in knoxville, tennessee, on this day in 2010. as sad a tale as you will ever hear. 

horsemouth has planted out some seeds out but he's not sure if he's not making a mistake. the weather is looking rainy and shit for the next two weeks, it may be that he would be better off waiting. (anyway. too late now). it may be that the weather forecast is showing him the long term average rather than an accurate reflection of what the weather will be. 

horsemouth is back from the bell ringing. it went well. a bit of dodging and then a plain hunt on 5. (all practice to improve horsemouth's bell control). afterwards the angel in grosmont. 

today. not the best looking of days. a walk into the village to pick up the hereford times.
