deflea... jethro tull... mad men

ok, so 1stly i found a flea earlier today... so i've just (5 minutes ago) deflea'd her ladyship...

she took it... she didn't like it... but she took it...

she'll be back in a bit and i'll be forgiven... i hope

i'm currently listening to jethro tull... (lastfm me if you don't believe me)... to do with the shadow of the moon & to do with L @ core arts...

the film had michael collins talking about (amongst other things) how it felt to be left out of the walking on the moon thing in 1969... and there's a tune on benefit called "for michael collins, jeffrey and me"... so i had to listen to that tune in the brief break i took in the middle of the film...

then L @ core arts and me have been talking about jethro tull and it's really nice to talk with him about it... he's a wonderful musician himself...

so today i listened to the whole of benefit, while cycling about town... including the song "cry you a song" which i want to do an arrangement of for the SJP's... i'm now listening to the album before it (stand up)...

and earlier i watched the last episode of this season of madmen... which came to me in a very nice serendipitous way...

on saturday me & E popped over to meet spski in spitalfields market... we were watching the lodger the 1927 hitchcock film... with live soundtrack from minima... it was heavenly... and something in the film brought madmen to mind...

which was odd because i hadn't thought of madmen for several weeks... it's been a bit nutty you see...

about 3 or 4 weeks ago josiah was here... we watched the 2nd to last episode of the season together on BBC4...

then on either the following wednesday or the one after that i was @ the sun ra gig with N & R... didn't even think about madmen...

last wednesday was E's birthday & i was showing her a good time... no thought of madmen...

so by saturday it had been a few weeks since i'd even thought about the program & it seemed likely the season had ended...

but what worked well for me, was that BBC2 was at least a week behind BBC4 and that episode me & josiah watched together was only on BBC2 last week (i guess there must have been something to interrupt it, you know how BBC2 is)

so the last episode was on last night and i-playable tonight... and it was perfect... deeply satisfying... didn't quite make me cry but it was close...

oh good telly... thankyou x
