Ta. Last night was night 1 of 4 for Dostoevsky's The Idiot adaptation on the radio. Good kind of comedy of manners so far. Another one who's better than that Checkhov garbage (to use a word that's suddenly in vogue it seems). I also had a joke about Chekhov's phaser not pistol, but I'll leave that for now. Some variations on other Jesus + abbreviations that might work as a song title:- Jesus fomo Jesus tbd Jesus rofl

Ta. Synchronicity - in the last few weeks I’ve heard a couple of Checkov plays on the radio - The Seagull and apparently his first work whose name I can’t remember. I’ve never read his work. I was extremely disappointed. It seems to be all minor bourgeoisie on their rural estates moaning about not having enough money, falling in love with younger women (often whilst being married), and then shooting themselves. Big dissappointment. Based upon my radio play history of ‘the classics’, I’m much more of a Zola fan. P.S. I hardly read fiction.

Ta. A delay is fine - makes for a more chilled reading on a weekend instead of a sneaky one while supposedly working (though I suppose tea breaks are a mandatory workers right). Also, what I've realised is that as avid a reader of your reports as I am, I don't know (or remember) what a good third of the songs on the setlist sound like.

Ta. Now back to my new second daily ritual of a Blossoms pubcast episode. I'm about 11 months behind but will catch up eventually. Next week (11 months ago) they hit LA apparently. -
I am really loving these guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBXHS8g82rE&list=PLU-gtlSF2YaO0qRP-E2Ot3LaPfqIhH3h9&index=25 Not my fave band purely on musical criteria, but could now be my fave band on all other measures.

I think I saw that in a video once. -
This should lift your spirits today - Blossoms new single. Just getting into them, even though those trousers should remain consigned to history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxDRg8JKcnA They also seems to have a pubcast thing that really p***** all over The Tweedy Show. I'm going to have to work my way through these . . . Suppose if they get too big they'll not have the time any more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJDTJRXvGsk&list=PLU-gtlSF2YaO0qRP-E2Ot3LaPfqIhH3h9&index=23 17:40 - Commenting on negative YouTube comments to their v

Ha! Funny. I actually find Noel quite entertaining for his honesty when interviewed etc. and sort of like him (not Liam though), but as far as the music is concerned I found Oasis really painfully derivative (the obvious influence) and apart from a handful of tracks can't listen to their banal cut and paste lyrics. Plus, their tickets are even more expensive and I never go to stadium shows - there is a certain thrill to being in a big crowd but I have got that from Wales sports events over the years. Music in big arenas is a non-starter for me - you're just watching the screens not the an
