Just Glitter Lust
Into town again this morning, on a bus. I’m pleased to say mask use was 100%. Princes Street was very quiet, as was the Royal Mile. There were people out, of course, but for a warm autumn day under blue skies with the University back, I’d normally expect town to be jumping. I was in to get a print of the work in progress so I can begin the revision process–I prefer to do that in green pen on a paper manuscript.

It’s remarkable, if not surprising, how many shops are doing a sideline in facemasks. I wondered how soon it would be before official band merchandise included facemasks, and right on cue I got a message to tell me that Yes are now selling masks featuring the famed Roger Dean logo.

I’ve also been taking opportunity of the Indian Summer to try and tidy up some of the junk in the garden ready to be collected at some point for disposal. Our local tips are open, but there’s a bit too much for the boot of our Astra. I’d like to get this done now, in part because winter will soon be with us but also because I continue to think that at least some restrictions are going to be reimposed, either nationally or locally.

Music: while out, the music for tonight struck me, an old favourite of mine, just right for grooving on a Friday night. Surprisingly I find that a decent version isn’t on either YouTube or Spotify, and I couldn’t see it on Vimeo either. So we won’t mention that again.
Instead, thoughts turned to Alison Goldfrapp. I shortlisted three songs but, as it’s Friday, I’m going to put them all here as a three-fer. The last of them, A&E, might be my favourite of all her material, with the added bonus of being without doubt one of the most ridiculous music videos I’ve ever seen.
Caravan Girl, Ooh La La, and A &E. Pure electro-pop for now people.
