/ 9th September 2017seems current…
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017👍🏼 Great choice. Liked them so much I could never remember the name of one of them at any given time (but that might have been my best guitar buddy Paddy’s funny-smelling rollies as well.)
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017I know someone who was at Woodstock-oh, envy. I don’t want to be old enough (and it always seems surprising that someone who was there is that age now-but I want to have been there. Where’s the time machine ?
Even people whose parents were either not born then or were infants swoon at the thought of someone actually BEING there when I mention this. Seeing Jimi Hendrix is one of the most envied things. It’s said with awe…’they’d have seen Jimi Hendrix !!!!’
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Just did a 20 minute free concert in the back yard patio on 3/4 classical guitar:
Into the Mystic, Blues Medley (instrumental), Long As I Can See The Light, The Times They Are A Changing, Rinky Dink Women, Eagle Rock.
⬆️ Came up, said it was “soo cool”, requested this one:
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017Hee ! I have that on an old LP. It was used by the museum in an exhibition once. My house looks like a retro exhibition.
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Mine looks like a guitar bomb hit it!
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017Mine looks like a cross between a secondhand/antiquarian bookshop and a retro shop with a crinoline lady section (well, they are all over the place, really). I am not fussy about little chips and other flaws in things-all part of their history.
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Mushroom soup for luncheon. Spot of bother following reheat of the Molenberg Original toast. Managed to scrape by. 👍🏼
Up The Establishment!
Cheerio.
Sir Gerald.
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017Scraped toast, erghhhh….and the scraped charcoal goes everywhere. I have just made a patchwork cover for my toaster-it’s seldom used and the pong of Dust Brulee is not attractive,The toaster now has a jaunty little patch ‘throw’ to prevent this annoyance.
Sky City has spring onion mash on the menu. It comes with a meat dish, so I won’t be having it there, but if I am ever on Death Row, mashed potatoes with lots and lots of butter and either chives or spring onions in it will be among the items in my last meal. Not only will it have butter mashed in, I will make a hole in it and put some more in that-cover it up-wait till it melts…
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Probably best not to wait until it melts. I gather when they come for you they get the whole thing over with as quickly as possible so you aren’t unduly distressed.
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017It doesn’t take long, to melt, from what I remember (faints with greedy nostalgic longing)
I’d finish with a really good lemon cheesecake-a really tart, unsweet one-fresh fruit salad (no sugar, it’s an insult to the fruit) and some cheese of the kind that one never buys because it’s so expensive,
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017Bloody rain-can’t make its mind up from one minute to the next.

/ 9th September 2017Hey Patu; wondering if you’ve heard this version? Vocals by (then) APC bassist Paz Lenchantin.
patupaiarehe
/ 9th September 2017I have now 🙂
Have you listened to this one yet? One of the best live recordings ever made IMO.
phantom snowflake
/ 9th September 2017Thanks have listened to nearly half of it, mighty fine! Now here’s Maynard James Keenan indulging his inner White Trash…
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017How to use a Cello.
phantom snowflake
/ 9th September 2017Ahh but then there’s this…
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Pussies. 😉
👍🏼
phantom snowflake
/ 9th September 2017Those Finns too pussy for you? Try these ones then hehe.
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Never ceases to amaze me what cool music the Finns can crank out when their lead singers get a bad case of raging laryngitis! 👍🏼 😩 😀
phantom snowflake
/ 9th September 2017Definitely. But plenty of great melodic stuff from there too.
patupaiarehe
/ 9th September 2017An instrumental number, from Tool;
phantom snowflake
/ 9th September 2017That was stylish. Now this; some might consider blasphemous, but it works for me…
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Nuthin beats the Master Romantic
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017Nuthin’ beats the old LPs for atmosphere; I have his LP, too, he looks very young on the cover. I love records; all those little hisses and crackles are their history. Yes, they are a pain to store (mine live in two brown Warehouse totes) and cumbersome… but they are magic.
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017It’s such fun when treasure appears among all the Val Doonicans, Jim Reeves, James Lasts* and the rest in opshops.
* how many records did they make, forsooth ?
patupaiarehe
/ 9th September 2017Kitty Catkin
/ 10th September 2017Better than Jim Reeves, Mrs Mills, Val Doonican, Andy Stewart…
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Youse jokers are sooo competitive!
But I tell ya – nuthin Pink Floyd’s lighting techies done could ever beat the moonrise I’m watching right now! Through & behind clouds. What a stunning light show! All free! My cellcam can’t do this justice!
Whoever designed this universe of ours was some freakin artist!
phantom snowflake
/ 9th September 2017Neighbour’s place too lit up to see much here, but elsewhere:
Gezza
/ 9th September 2017I rest my case❗️👍🏼
Kitty Catkin
/ 9th September 2017I have heard why the moon LOOKS so much bigger some times than others, but couldn’t follow it. There are times when it looks twice the size over the hills. I wish in a way that the Americans hadn’t gone there and taken away the mystery of it-bloody spoil-sports, always having to barge in ahead of everyone else and show off.
Blue moons are a disappointment. I looked out eagerly when one was announced, only to discover that I had seen them before-they aren’t THAT blue.

patupaiarehe
/ 9th September 2017Here’s a random question. What does this say & where have you seen it before?

Gezza
/ 9th September 2017Garfield ?

patupaiarehe
/ 9th September 2017Close G…

Gezza
/ 9th September 2017I sometimes wonder how many semi-literates take up smoking because they think that other message says: “Smoking makes you importent”? 😳
patupaiarehe
/ 9th September 2017It’s over $32 for a pack of Winny Reds now, thanks to your friends in the Maori Party
Gezza
/ 10th September 2017Nah, that’s Winston’s fault. If he wasn’t so dodgy he might’ve stopped National from grabbing more revenue off the poor.
And on the upside – they’ve still got the Maori seats! 👍🏼☘ 👍🏾 🌴
Remember: Never lose your biscuit!
Ending here. With all the vids, on the iPad this thread’s Browser Crash City, Corksville, Virginia!

/ 10th September 2017Rightyo G 😛
