Damn, son.. Damsons

What were the skies like in North Wales when you were growing up?

Press Play.

This tune reminds me of a camping trip we went on while I was at uni in Leicester. It was me, Steve (el Presidente), Tam, Hugo and, i think, Chris.

We went to Portmerion and pretended to run away from giant balloons.

We went camping.

On the first night we were in a proper campsite and upset some hikers because we were talking at night.

The second night we were in some farmer's field, right out in a far corner so as not to upset anyone. We had some booze and sat out under the stars listening to the KLF chillout album. If you haven't heard it you should. It's got lots of little bits and pieces that fade in and out of the background. There's the sound of a train going past and just as it was playing on the tape there happened to be a train going along the far side of the valley we were camped in. All lit up (it being night time). 

And the freaky bit of the story; Tam and I went off to find the farmer's loo and came across the static caravan field. We could see this woman come out of her caravan, but could only see her feet due to a fence being in the way. It seemed like she was trying to settle a baby to sleep. But the baby, if that was what it was, WAS MAKING THE SOUND OF A PIG.

Some interesting things

An interesting musical event within the borders of Herefordshire?

Could be. It involves one of the main men from Portishead so a trip to check it out tomorrow might be in order. 

Here's the link..

And in other news, it looks like things might be coming to life again over with E and his eels cohorts. First their facebook page posts a picture saying simply "hi". Now their website comes up with the following...

Good musical signs from the internet superhighway runestones.

Do you know Jake Bugg?

When we went to see 'one man two guvnors' at the theatre there was a skiffle band that played between the acts. 

This chap reminds me of that 50s kind of thing. Good tunes. I would've bought the cd on monday but its in a plastic case (grr). Maybe one to download.

My musical recommendation to you...

Shower dilemmas. Give me a week, i'll see what i can do.
