Sinister: 10 Roddington Place

[PJMiller]

My favourite episode of "Rising Damp" is the one where Rigsby,
following Philip's advice, burns some love wood to woo Miss Jones, and
the wood turns out to be a piece of his own wardrobe. As luck would
have it, I've got it on video, so I'll use it to test out this "how
many times can you watch something before getting bored" business that
has sparked such lively debate.

You're all very slow on the uptake. Why, only last week I mentioned an
obscure reggae performer in the hope that Hopkins would take the bait.
Perhaps he was ill. Let's try it again:

Everton Blender.

Having recently regained my Rough Guide to Reggae I have lots of
questions for Tim. For instance, what do you think of Joe Higgs's Life
of Contradictions (with six extra tracks but crap packaging), or
Scotty's Unbelievable Sounds or some Lee Perry compilation called Dry
Acid or something (both on Trojan)?

Thanks for all the Bill Evans talk. The one I've got is a nice Verve
reissue with a little booklet too, which includes notes from the
inventor of the Fender Rhodes piano, Han Solo. Michael, have your
extra tracks got some bird counting at the beginning of them? Mine
have. Speaking of Verve reissues, I can't recommend Marcos Valle's
Samba 68 highly enough. No extra tracks, but his wife sings all the
time.

I hate Black Box Recorder despite never having heard them.

Yesterday I went to our local airport to see the Rolling Stones land.
They had a whopping great 757, presumably due to the size of their
monster riffs, and it was all very exciting, especially when they all
got off the plane. It might just as well have been the Beatles from
where I was standing, they were miles away. I think I saw Ronnie Wood,
but it might have been Worzel Gummidge. Have you seen that footage of
The WHO getting off a plane in Sweden? Well, it was nothing like that.
They didn't even go through customs, they were whisked off in a posh
car, while their loyal staff had to go by bus. What a shame. I was
under strict orders from 'er indoors to tell them that we had the
Rock'n'Roll Circus video, but we prefer The WHO. Except for the last
song.

Speaking of The WHO, I was sent this yesterday:

Fancy a holiday ?
Friday 2nd July - The British Rock Symphony Roger Daltrey & Friends
perform the music of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The WHO, Led
Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.  Over 2 hours of the greatest rock
masterpieces
ever.
Powderham Castle near Exeter.

It sure beats All Tomorrow's Parties. I wonder who Roger's friends
are? I wonder if Piezoleptic Unit will be in attendance? I think
Adrian Evans will be there, he sent it to me.
