One of those which needs to be played with the loud pedal pushed almost to the max:

This afternoon my duty is to write a favourable report about some incompetent fukkwits who made an absolute arse of a fairly simple job, without making the fukkwittery of those incompetent fukkwits look like they are incompetent fukkwits who **** up a fairly simple job.

I need some nice music in my headphones to do that. Here's some of the toons I'm playing to myself while I write nice stuff about an unnice performance which could not be more different from Hayward et al.

This has to be the perfect "breaking up" song!

Watched "Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?" last night and must say it was sad to see how the wonderfully talented, and basically nice guy, Harry Nilsson squandered his gifts in the pursuit of a rock and roll lifestyle that eventually claimed hm far too early. Great musician who lived fast and died too young. His funeral was held in the aftermath of the Nortridge earthquake. He certainly knew how to rock them.

His oeuvre was so much bigger than the two big hits just Everybody's Talking and Without You.

Working with people like Van Dyke Parkes et al. his catalogue is multi facetted and very good methinks...

My gosh it is years since I heard that. I'd had forgotten how good it is. They were certainly channeling their German inner Beatle there.

On a more eccentric note, the wonderful Nina Hagen... (the incomprehension of some of the very staid audience in the video is most amusing to behold).

Wunderbar!

So good, we should remind ourselves of more of her stuff...

I always think of that one as being what would have happened if Paul McCartney composed and arranged for ELO, marinaded by George Martin.

Shall play it good and loud in the car later today.
