Looking up at a cupboard in the triage room in eye casualty this morning, I spied an interesting VHS video collection on the top: Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, The Muppet Christmas Carol and ... Cataract Surgery.  Nurse: "I don't think there's even a VHS player in the hospital."

I've been listening to stacks of vocal takes in preparation for a mix session tomorrow, but when doing various admin tasks I've taken a break from this week's listening diet of German 70s experimentalism (I refuse to use the word krautrock) to revisit the Penguin Cafe Orchestra albums, which remind me that I really must make the time to make some homemade music. There are one or two tracks in there which still provoke that itch every time I hear them, as somehow Simon Jeffes managed to make music which was charming without being sickly. And Glasgow University has a dulcitone, as heard on Cutting Branches for a Temporary Shelter.
