Along with a lot of individual tracks, as well. Along with both The Belle Sta’s, and Natascha’s version of “Iko Iko”, and Timbuk 3’s excellent “The Futures So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades”, I’ve also picked up Ian Dury’s “Plaistow Patricia” – not for the faint hearted! – and both of Tori Amos’ hits, “Cornflake Girl”, and “Professional Widow”. Along with “Language Is A Virus From Outer Space”, by Laurie Anderson.
Oh, and Holst’s “The Planet Suite”, as performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker, and conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.
Which has two bits of reasoning behind it.
a) I happen to like Mars: The Bringer of War, and
b) It shows people I’m not a total plebe!
And you can’t ask more than that, can you. Post’s and comment’s, please!

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
