Is this the kind of sporting event we may see in the coming permie future ?

My God! It's full of stars!

The Spacefolk, like the Ozrics, always transport me. Here's a live performance of Hidria Spacefolk, whom I'm listening to lately. Though I love them dearly, there're almost as good as the Ozric Tentacles.

Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed.....I am not sure of the title and don't have the tape with me at the library computer...but it is one of those haunting melody and lyric songs...I listened to it on her album last week and it is still going through my head. something like..."In our sleep, in our sleep, listen to the drum beat as we sleep...as we speak, as we speak, listen to the drum beat in our sleep." I probably have the words all jumbled up but maybe that is enough to go by to find it on line. She is a wonderful story teller with a beautiful voice....I tend to get obsessed and wander where the musician takes me...Lou Reed led to Laurie and now I am listening to Patti Smith (not Smyth) records...another excellent poet. Sorry I have no links for these.

Judith, the song In Our Sleep is from Laurie' s album Bright Red. I have a lot of her music,saw her in concert three or four times, would have loved to have seen the performance of her epic: United States of America.

Lou Reed, from the soundtrack Until the End of the World: the last stansa from What's Good --


What good is life without living
What good's this lion that barks
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all

What's good ?
Not much at all

What's good ?
Life's good -
But not fair at all

From Until the End of the World
