Senses working overtime #226

1 Brexit: The Soap Opera

I'm sick of thinking, "This can't get any worse". And then it does. Here's the latest from the BBC.

RIP rock music?

3 New movies

Vox reckon these new movies are worth waiting for...hmmm.

4 Warren Ellis

Latest sign off: Lock all the damn doors, shut out anyone who doesn't deserve your time and lives to make your life harder, and take five minutes of free air to be who you are and to be in the world and at peace. You're doing better than you think. Hold on tight. 

5 Speaking of Warren 

Coming soon...

Overtime: King Crimson

The latest Mojo to reach my newsagents had a free covermount CD featuring King Crimson. I love the early Crimson stuff. As long as they keep their music in circulation, rock will never be dead.

1 Affective presence

Explained.

2 New movies 

New year equals new expectations for some about to drop movies.

3 Ian Hunter

Of Mott the Hoople - recently, I managed to track down a copy of Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star from Hoyles on Charing Cross Rd. It was expensive at nearly 20 quid but, having finished it, I can tell you it's worth it (I notice it's cheaper on Amazon but I love the Foyles experience).

4 The Dharma of Star Wars

Now onto this which I found in the Star Wars corner at the aforementioned Foyles - yes, they have a whole corner of books devoted to Star Wars. This one is a geat blend of Buddhism and the Jedi tao. Be mindful of the living force!

5 Art Pepper



This has been a constant companion this week after I bought an album at Ray's Jazz - yes - in Foyles! You don't get that experience from Amazon d'ya!!

Overtime Red Garland
Thanks to a Jamie Cullum's BBC Radio 2 programme, I've recently discovered the joy of Red Garland on piano. Enjoy!
