The Best Part

Gordon has been less loud today 🙂 We hiked in Chabot, it was really hot, which was not the best part. The best part was when Gordon played with me.

Couple Of Unlikely Similarities

1) The first few bars of Robyn’s hit ‘Dancing On My Own’… …sound a bit like ‘Ahead (II)’ (itself a remix of their own ‘Ahead’) by my beloved Wire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbsugFJ3Ezc …but there the similarity ends. 2) The first few bars of Echo and the Bunnymen’s ‘My Kingdom’… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zbdy8eidI0 …sound a bit like ‘Baby Give It… Continue reading Couple Of Unlikely Similarities
