Call Home...
Was wondering today where "Chris G" is these days - I used to like his posts. Any other bloggers being missed?

New Macca and Leonard Cohen...
... records being streamed on NPR this week - haven't heard the Cohen one yet but had to turn the Macca one off halfway through the first song. The type of album my mother would hear and say "If you can't do it better than Sinatra - don't bother".
Talking In Your Sleep...
... last night the FPO said I was talking in my sleep - and I whispered twice in her ear "they've found Donald Duck's hat".
This morning I couldn't recall any "Donald Duck loses his hat" themed dream but last night, before we went to sleep, we were discussing the last episode of "Sherlock" and trying to work out what had happened. The FPO, in her wisdom, reckons I was dreaming about being Sherlock Holmes and had taken it down to my level.
Any funny or bizarre sleep-talking stories?
Radiohead albums...
I listened to every Radiohead album yesterday (in chronological order - how sad) and have put them in order (favourite first) below. Have I got it right?
1. In Rainbows
2. Kid A
3. OK Computer
4. Amnesiac
5. The Bends
6. Hail To The Thief
7. The King of Limbs
8. Pablo Honey
Stooges News
The Complete Funhouse Sessions Boxset is being re-released by Rhino at the end of the month - £79.99 on Amazon - but I've just had a quick look on iTunes and you can by the full 7 x CDs set for £7.99. Seems like a bargain for diehard fans - but I defy anyone to sit through it all in one session!
Favourite Car CD...
... at the moment it's El Camino - The Black Keys. The kids always want Jessie J on and the FPO wants Reinhard Mey (don't even ask).
Best Solo Beatle Album...
... is Ram. Anyone disagree?

Wilco, Mavis Staples and Nick Lowe...
rehearse "The Weight"
The Lad Himself...
from East Cheam barely gets a mention on here. Has nobody visited Fred's Pie Stall? It's fantastic.
