Attack of The Clones.

Me and Cassidy around the same age....who knew cloning technology had come so far?    

An Interesting Aside (probably).

A wee aside to break up the monotony of all the moving house horror. One of the most amazing things (to me anyway) about my autistic memory bank is the ability to remember exactly where and when I heard my favourite songs or saw my favourite films for the first time in minute detail.   For example Tears of A Clown, 30 April 1975....followed a news report on the fall of Saigon, I was sitting cross legged in front of our old stereo in the maisonette we lived in in Coseley (or Wallbrook as the area was known then).   Oh yes, and we had this wallpaper (I insisted).       Anyway, enjoy.

I (don't) Like To Move It Move It.

Well it looks like we're definitely moving house. We have a skip and a delivery of boxes and are just awaiting a timetable for the actual move so are currently juggling hospital, college and the usual stuff with packing everything away.     The first lot of (packed) boxes are getting picked up for storage tomorrow so  hopefully Cassidy hasn't ripped them up and put everything back by then as that seems to be his way of preventing us going to the new house. As you can probably tell he is not at all happy at the prospect. More later.

   Another blatant self publicity alert! Just to let you know that I'll be re-teaming with Blue Azure on Totally Wired Radio on Saturday 14th March (8pm till 10pm) where I'll be unveiling the spiritual successor to Colour Me Giallo , this time featuring the cult sounds of American horror cinema soundtracks.  Ladies and gentlemen prepare for...  

Why Not Both?
