Today I have mostly been listening to.....

Top toonage indeed. Today I have mostly been listening to that re-released Brian Eno & David Byrne album, bush something or other or whatever it's called.

And also being berated at work for listening to Beethovens 9th symphony. Does that make me a ponsy wanker?

Top stuff. Silly question, but whence did you acquire it?

Well, the release date there is wrong - it was actually released today.

I (accidentally, boss)[1] bought it on Saturday.

[1] Honestly, it was a mistake. Had a bit of catching up to do on Saturday, so checked in the Friday deliveries myself, rather than leave 'em to the stockroom girl today...... I must have missed the 'do not put on sale until Monday' slip in the box.

Heh.

This is my defence for leaving the important stuff like booking in deliveries and operating a till to other people ;-)

You see, this is what happens when those in charge actually try and do the important work ;-)

Been listening to a load of old punk/Ska/Ian Dury Ah the memories

Hehehe.

Silly ol' musicians trying to be cool.

Next, we'll have Kenny Loggins restyling himself as "K-Log".

I've been needing some tolerable dance stuff for when I'm sick of the crap I keep listening to.

I really don't think it's Peter Hook trying to be cool, after all, he

*was* a part owner of said club, so he's only cashing in on the name - which he's perfectly entitled to do, after pissing away all the New Order money on keeping the place open!

The 'Hooky' thing is what his ex called him on that 'Mrs Merton Show' thingie from a decade back.

Heh.

I think you'd like it. It's definitely your era.

Tony Wilson, what an astute businessman eh? Wonder why they fell out with him...

BTW Despite being more or less completely ignored, Waiting for the Sirens' Call is rather good too, but you probably know that already.
