I also skimmed through the M-F-Continuum and there were a couple of tracks I quite liked but to be honest I found most of it a bit over whelming, sorry Nick @ntpntpntp . All About Eve was pleasant light relief...

Likewise.
I'm in the train room for a bit tomorrow  morning doing aa bit of tidying up so a good chance to give that little lot a listen.

Well, I listened to that right through.

Definitely not music to have on whilst concentrating on something else.

Much as it is perfectly good stuff it is just not the sort of thing I enjoy I'm afraid so none of it, sadly, will find a way onto any of my playlists.

Thank you for sharing though.

I do understand the complainant's point of view to a certain extent. Our experience is that bird feeders tend to provide an easy meal for other beasts as well. In our case it was squirrels, and I didn't see why I should pay out good money to ensure the survival of the grey pests. Also, the local cats (including ours) regarded any unwary birds as small KFCs, so we gave up on the idea. So the sparrows and blue tits have colonised the eaves of our house and our compost bin has been a nice warm restaurant for rats for many a long year. So long as they don't come into the house I don't mind. The sheep was bad enough...

Cheers,

Chris

I reckon the only rat is the one who grassed you up

Bought a small bird feeder that fixes to the window on suction pads; after three days I was 1 robin, 2 magpies and a pigeon (?small birds?). Today I get a note through the door roughly translated it says "thou shalt not fix bird feeders on thy patio" they attract rats! In 12 years here I have only seen one rat and that came indoors via the pipework.

Great band.  I never saw them play live but I do love their music.  The bass player used to curate and host a local evening radio show down my way. I discovered loads of good music which suited my taste

Infamous for their appearance on Top of The Pops when they couldn't hear the backing track and didn't start performing/miming when the music started

I know little about All About Eve but as you say it's a pleasant enough little ditty.
I did spend the whole time waiting for it to "get going" though.

Some 'All About Eve' this morning including this very pleasant ditty

Talking of oldies, I have just been clearing out under my test track and came across a vinyl "Sing a new song" by the Settlers, an old 60's Birmingham group.  The Settlers lead singer was Cindy Kent who is now a vicar and regularly does Songs of Praise on the BBC. I remember seeing them live in Reading, besde the river Thames next to the Reading Rock festival site.  The vinyl still plays well and includes a brilliant Streets of London and Nowhere Man
