The deluge appears to have stopped here for the moment, so I can contemplate spending another few hours with the leaves tomorrow, in between painting and other house chores. I figured the few leaves left on our tree wouldn’t be a big burden after I got everything else up on Saturday, but I was wrong, wrong—after Sunday’s rain the back lawn looked like a compost pile. Ah, domesticity. Maybe I’ll get some other stuff done, too; there is at least one mix struggling to be born. In the meantime, we’ll settle for a Random 10:
- Sam And Dave, “Soul Man” (Soul Men)
- Kim Kashkashian, viola – Stuttgarter Kammerorchester, Dennis Russell Davies, conductor, “Trauermusik” (Lachrymae (Hindemith, Britten, Penderecki ))
- The Blind Boys Of Alabama, “Just Wanna See His Face” (Spirit Of The Century)
- Thurston Moore, “Psychic Hearts” (Psychic Hearts)
- Pixies, “Tame” (Doolittle)
- U2, “Stories For Boys” (Boy)
- Nina Simone, “Mississippi Goddam” (The Best of Nina Simone)
- Richard Hickox; Collegium Musicum 90, “”Paukenmesse”: IV. Sanctus” (Haydn: Te Deum/Paukenmesse/Te Deum)
- Elvis Costello & The Attractions, “Shipbuilding” (Punch The Clock [remastered])
- Monty Python, “Bookshop” (Monty Python’s Contractual Obligation Album)
