Prue True Love

OMG… look at what Pattie is auctioning, with no mention of Prue.

I sent the link and those pictures to Prue. She’s going to be so pissed, and if she isn’t, she should be. I haven’t heard from Prue in a few months, which is my fault really, and I hope she’s doing all right.

That photo is actually the second in a series. It comes after this one.

Freakin’ Freak-Out

Yesterday I mentioned a very impressive episode of Star Wars: Andor I’d watched. The outstanding series is produced in England, so I wasn’t surprised when I heard the expression “fit for work” in the episode.

Today I walked along what had been, until recently, one of my running routes, listening to an installment of Drew Carey’s Friday Night Freak-Out. One of the songs Drew played is called “Fit for Work”.

The UK band DeadLetter reminds me of the Clash’s long-ago social activism. After getting home I paid £5 ($6.60), £4 more than required, to download a copy of “Fit for Work”.

I also recently mentioned Drew Carey’s day job, hosting The Price is Right. The price was wrong for the game show’s theme music.

The Smell of Grass…

… Just Makes You Pass into a Dream.

The granddaddy of Progressive Rock is the Moody Blues’ Days of Future Passed, from the year of the Mellotron, 1967. I featured a copy of the album here a couple of months into the pandemic lockdown, as a sort of palliative.

That version was the remix made ten years after the album’s release, because by then the stereo master tapes had deteriorated. This transfer, made with top-notch gear, is from an original ’67 UK pressing.
