The Weekend Starts Here
I've still not voiced a blog entry even though I have the technology and the Samsung Galaxy Note will allow me to do it. Tonight the Rawmones , a Ramones tribute band anchored by the hardest working man in the world Adas Pepper , play Trillians in Newcastle . Will be toddling along there after a few (non alcoholic) drinks at The Stand.
This is just obviously a diary entry , but Mark Radcliffe is playing the wonderful record "Fanfare" by Eric Matthews. The vido is brilliant and the MP3 is it the jukebok at the top of this entry:

Disco Diva Donna Summer Dies
Almost a newspaper headline. First heard of Donna Summer when her record "Love To Love You Baby" was banned by the BBC . I was into metal and electronics like Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk , so was totally knocked out when I heard "I Feel Love" . It was disco , but it was electronic , driven by Giorgio Moroder's almost Motorik , relentless synthesiser.
Almost everyone loved this record , my dad loved it , my mum loved it , the most metal of metalheads loved it . Great music , a gorgeous body , Donna Summer went on to make loads of great records although apart from "Loves Unkind", "I Feel Love" and "State of Independence" I wasnt to enamoured by the rest of her output. I believe the original version of "I Feel Love" stretched out to 17 minutes. How good is that.
Moroder continued ploughing his electronic furrow , notably with "From Here To Eternity" , "Together in Electric Dreams" and "Never Ending Story" . A sad day but we will be hearing "I Feel Love" a lot on the radio.........

Summer Means Fun
After all the rain and cold of the last few days this morning gives us a blue cloudless sky. Was hoping to pist a picture from the train but my reserved window seat us not next to a window. C'est La Vie. Anyway I took a picture of a tree next to my bus stop so you have some idea!
I've just noticed that I can use voice input to this mobile blogger so will try that when I am at home.
