wole soyinka

a couple of early mornings and long days this week meant that i was very keen to sleep in this morning...

before dinah went off to the synagogue this morning she brought me a tea which i was keen to get at least one sip of, spski poked his head round the door when she delivered it, spski before you're ready for him is a peculiar experience...

they faded away and i woke up a little later for the sip that i wanted... then back down into sleep...

i was down in the kitchen making my second tea several hours later and the word woye soyinka came into my voice as a rhythm... a 5 rhythm with a 3 underneath it (must record it before it goes) and i was reminded that the woye soyinka interview that i took part in would now be available on the net...

so hear i am, sipping that tea, listening to the nobel laureate, the same words i heard on felinity's birthday, with every question hoping the voice will be mine...

once it's done i'm meeting dinah @ penny's for our sunday veggie roast, moved forward by a day because i'm in the studio all day tomorrow with T's band, and after eating i intend to cycle off to brentford... for the one of the last showings of the scott walker film in a cinema i don't know... waterman's...

...

just reached the end of the wole soyinka interview and there is no me... x

that walk

10.8 miles...

of which 6.8 miles were on foot...

(4 miles on the train)...

i did indeed listen to all that i intended to listen to...

a heady dose of strange era scott...

in the rain...

walking with scott

it is late may...

late may!

and it's cold & wet...

perfect weather for taking out my shuffle with 3 hours of scott walker for a walk,

since yesterday i've been listening to all of his original material from the 60's, i now have the 4 tracks from the 70's walker brother's albums and then the album from each successive decade...

a strange walk it will be x

still

just got back from our sojourn over @ T & W 's and we were pleasantly surprised to find the house completely empty, evidence of the party still all around but empty of party people... won't last long but it's lovely...

bank holiday weekend and no real plans... watched the program on scott walker last night through T&W's catchup TV thing, just made me want to see the film even more but the last showing i can find was earlier this afternoon in clapham...

inspirational man... broken...

lovely to see balthazara on returning x
