I have acquired a set of SMGa Magneplanars - 1986 or thereabouts. From a smoker household so they whiff a bit but they were ver' cheap and they seem to work a treat. So I have been listening to the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Joni Mitchell.
These are the suckers https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f0/SMGa4.jpg
Eating out tonight. Tapas. Ten of us.
I went to see the final G Dead concert screening on Monday.
Reading Jimmy Perez.

... on Friday.
Hot hot hot day.
There's a Pevsner Aberdeen (city) and South Aberdeenshire coming out soon and I'm half-minded to get a copy.
The numbers taking resits this year seem way down.

Slow West
Posted Jun 28, 2015
S and I are going to see Slow West tomorrow. It's the new film with Michael Fassbinder in it and it was directed by a guy named John MacLean, who used to be in the Beta Band and The Aliens. He co-directed this video - one of my favorites https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFrE7VA481I
Ir reminds me of Ira Cohen's Thunderbolt Pagoda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOWWhPzkwL8 which I once saw as a projection at an Acid Mothers Temple concert.
Hoy hoy... reading Cyril Hare. Listening to the Girl Walks Home Alone soundtrack. At Kemnay. Wet blowy morning but much-improved afternoon.
I am mucho in anticipation of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462335/?ref_=tt_rec_tt

I remember back in 197? getting Science Fiction Monthly at the newsagents, and in one issue they printed an extract from High Rise. And now the film version, directed by Ben Wheatley...

Terminator (the original) last night
Posted Jun 26, 2015
It featured phone boxes with directories in them, hot-wireable cars without airbags, smoking in workplaces, video cassettes, telephone answering machines with cassettes, 40 year old 'futuristic' typefaces, mothballs ammonia and corn syrup purchasable over the counter without an anti-terrorism raid, a cassette Walkman, a Polaroid camera, Arnie.
Three of the cast went on to feature in Cameron's Aliens. Cameron was quite something until he jumped the shark with The Abyss.
Let's see... The French Connection on Sunday. S and I watched several Ian Carmichael Lord Peter Wimseys this week plus the Jack Hawkins League of Gentlemen. I have been reading DLS. The LS has been a bit of a desert.
Resits next week.
