Every year's an in-between kind of year when you're prone to self-mythologising

The pub downstairs seem to think that early Saturday morning is a good time to do noisy things with barrels. I can't agree, but I do feel more or less rested, and it meant I got to see a rather promising augury - a magpie (one for sorrow, plus I hate the songbird-murdering scum anyway) being chased around and beaten up by one of my favourite birds, the crow.

As much as I'm never going to turn down a free Jeays and Project Adorno show, or the free booze thereat, I can't help but feel a little guilty that, said show being in a library, the funding for that is presumably coming from the libraries budget, which pretty much by definition these days won't have enough to spend on books anyway. Hmmm. Still, good shows (Jeays unveiled one new song which, to me at least, sounded a bit Justin Timberlake) and the third act was Pog, aka the Stapletons' drummer, who had a sort of poppier Another Sunny Day thing going on.

You stand against HBO - you're the bad guy. It really is that simple.

Was the gig part of that Get It Loud In Libraries project?
(if it has spread to London, that is)

Lyrics In Libraries, it's called, but I presume it's the same sort of model. Poets, talks and shows?

Justin Timberlake?

It has these little stop-start licks of Spanish guitar!

But they eat the young of all the songbirds! And I don't have a cap!
