In a break with recent programming tradition, Channel 4 have done a poll on something. This time it’s the greatest live gigs. Ever. I recall there was barnstorming rendition of Greensleeves in the 16th century – shockingly that’s been omitted from this list.
Having discovered I’m terribly unfashionable as I own nothing by anyone in the top 8 biggest UK album sellers since 2000 (erroneously labelled “of the 21st century”), I’m pleased to be able to state that I was actually present for one of the top 10 greatest gigs. My age dictates that it was number 10: Radiohead at Glasonbury in 1997.
Just popping in to say I’m quiet at the moment because my spare time is directed towards a project I’ve found for myself. It’s not a blog ting so you probably won’t get to see anything of it here, but it’s led to me spending much time poring over books in the National Library of Scotland, which conveniently seems to have most of the titles I need.
Hurrah for libraries!

I’m sure the memorial service for the 7/7 victims at St Paul’s yesterday was very moving and tasteful, but I couldn’t help giggling when the newsreader on the Today programme announced that the bomb sites would be represented by fork handles.
