Yep: I had Mike Oldfield’s Incantations album on, when I did that video introduction.
And, yes: right now?
I’ve changed metaphorical records.
To Tubular Bells.
Frankly?
I think Tubular Bells is possibly the better album.
At least, the less twee LP.
After all, Incantations has at least mention of the word ‘teepee’: which puts it into raving hippie territory, from where I’m sitting …
At any rate?
I’ve posted the
Spotify version of Incantations.
I may as well give you Tubular Bells …
~≈§≈~
At any rate …
Sorry, I almost said at any rat there … !
At any rate, you’ve possible realised — by now — that I like a TV box set, every often.
That usually, I’d go for science fiction, or horror.
But you’v e possibly also worked out that US political thriller, House of Cards has been on my books for a while.
Certainly the first episode of series six was, last night.
Tonight … ?
Well, I’ve had time for another episode, tonight …
You’d possibly guessed …
~≈§≈~
Episode 2 — Chapter 67 — sees President Underwood (Robin Wright) responding to an emergency: the town of Belport has suffered, after a gas leak from a nearby chemical plant …
Claire … ? Has to make sure that the various federal agencies get to the town: both to help … and to investigate.
The only possibly hazard?
Is not the tainted water and air …
But siblings, Bill and Annette Shepard (Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear) … and they new employee, Seth Grayson (Derek Cecil), the former White House Press Secretary under President Frank Underwood.
Not only that, but Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly) is out of hospital … and denying he’s responsible for the death of Zoe Barnes*.
Ever get the feeling there’s something going on … ?
~≈§≈~
Now …
Good … ?
Give it a qualified yes …
Wright, Kelly, and the rest of the cast are as good as ever.
As is the writing.
But I get the feeling that this series of House Of Cards is a whole new one … that’s taking it’s time to develop.
* Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) was the junior reporter killed at the end of series one. By the late lamented Frank.

I love it when people comment. 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 adult. 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.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
