How lucky you guys are, all I'm getting at home is "partita for band-postcards from home" I will be a lot happier next Sunday.

I trust you were listening to the R4 adaptation?
Of course :) We also love the BBC radio adaptation of Lord of the Rings.

Currently...the tink, tink, tink of an annoying metal clasp hitting the tumble drier and the gunfire from some playstation game...justified as ds1 played in a rugby tournament all day yesterday, is tired, battered and bruised and "is studying WW1 at school so it is sort of research".... :?

Clock ticking, wind howling, cat swearing at me. Conscience telling me to get off this site and do some work.

Music would have to be Genesis, Dire Straits or anything else with killer chord changes. 3 most-played iPod songs at the moment are IGY (Donald Fagan), Mykonos (Fleet Foxes) and Ride On (Christy Moore) but next week it will be something else.

Most-played albums are Nabucco, Brothers in Arms and the marvellous A Trick of the Tail.

I think that is eclectic too, but I can't listen to anything made after about 1990 for more than 5 minutes. Except maybe Tom Odell. Even my teenagers are coming to the view that the old stuff is the best - one has just bought A Day at the Races on a well-known trading site.

I can relate to that, plus Terry Wogan for me whilst preparing a Sunday roast :D

I have an ear worm continually singing the carpenters "close to you" because they had it on loop at the supermarket and ds3 kept singing in the car, so now I am inflicted. I have tried listening to many other songs over the week, but the ear worm wins. :( I particularly detest the chorus:

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold,
And starlight in your eyes of blue

I mean really!...this song is supposed to be about a man too, barf barf barf.

So you can see how I am at the point of pouring bleach in my earholes.

Brothers in arms is a great album though
