Goodbye Ruby THURSDAY

In Gloucester for the day

Sad to report that their Pumpkin has finally been rebranded as a Cafe Local :(
 
I'm BORED and so am putting the office Christmas tree up.

TYPICAL it's happening on probably the sunniest and warmest November day on RECORD.
 
I've been hammering the gym as of late and I'm fucking pooped. I have stuff to do but I'm not doing it.
 
Now that the title has put a song in my head, I was listening to Andrew Hickey's brilliant A History Of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast and he did a 4-part episode of Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones. What an absolute shower of bastards they were. It says a lot that I came out of it with more respect for Bill Fucking Wyman than for Mick Jagger or Keith Richards.
 
I went to HMV at lunchtime.

I realise this is a broken record (PUN INTENDED) but FUCK ME, it was APPALLING. I wanted to buy THE ACTUAL TOP TWO ALBUMS, neither of which were in stock, with no section for current music, but just a big display of Oasis/ Pink Floyd/ Fleetwood Mac style albums and another one of Christmas ones and, my absolute favourite, when I actually asked about SAID TOP TWO ALBUMS, the staff member hadn't even heard of one of them.

I DESPAIR.

Vinyl is for the wealthy or people who buy 5-10 albums a year. I've got Rosalia, Hayley Williams and Julian Cope coming in for well under Williams on vinyl amd I could add another album before hitting Rosalia's prices.
 
Well I've had a decent, slightly exhausting, sober day.

Went out for lunch with my folks. Then helped my mate set up her whole new sexy shiny kitchen.
 
In case anyone was wondering what the hot goss is in Arkansas
