Agonies of Indecision

Well, I hoped by now that I'd be settling down to a fairly regular podcast, but the 'time worms' are still feeding on my leisure hours and it's not proving possible for the moment. So, I'm gonna bite the bullet and say that, for the time being at least (never slam a door behind you), music and mumblings is wrapped up.

Ive had some incredibly good fun in the short time I was podcasting regularly, made some great new friends, and discovered (from other podcasts and my own investigations) some fantastic music. While I wont be actively digging for new stuff for a while, I will certainly be keeping my eyes open for new stuff from (amongst others) Lord Numb, SpidersLeg, Azoora and Dudley Saunders.

I'll be doing some writing (blog, maybe a couple of books) and maybe I might be able to pop up like a bad penny on Pete's PC Podcast once in a while (that IS how I started). Hopefully the lads will let me gatecrash the occasional podcrawl. For now, though, "that's it".

So, it remains only to say thank you to the people who made the music I've played, and the people who've listened to my efforts. 's been fun!

Seething Wells

Just learned that Steven Wells - who when I saw him was called "Seething Wells" - a ranting poet has succumbed to cancer at the age of 49.

1981, I think it was - at a festival called Futurama in Stafford. We'd gone because Jah Wobble (who'd just left Public Image Ltd) was supposed to be playing. Didn't show though, so we made do with Bow Wow Wow, Simple Minds and a few others belting out their nbest efforts in a Cattle Hall which had almost totally been cleared of cowshit. Almost, but not completely. There are some pictures of that very festival here (look for Sept 6th 1981).

Seething Wells popped up at some point. A ranting skinhead up on stage decrying the 'Tetley Bittermen'. Main reason I remember it was for the line "You have to be a real man to drink Tetleys", which was funny only because it was a favourite tipple of my pal's mum.

Perhaps less earthshaking news to the music world than MJ - but somehow I preferd Well's style...

Not dead yet

Hi Folks,

Its been a bad month for people shuffling off their mortal coil, hasn't it? We've had MJ and Farrah check out recently, and there's not been many signs of life from Music and Mumblings, has there?

Well, fear not (unless you hate the podcast, in which case be very, very afraid) because I have not given up on podcasting (or grumbling). I'm just too dratted busy to do it justice right now, and I'm not going to dump any half done rubbish on you. And anyway, I do this for the fun of it - mine and yours (as well, of course as the very important promotion of the artists' work).

There's still bucketloads of top chunes out there, and I reckon (hope?) Ill be back with a decent show (relatively speaking) in the autumn (after I've travelled the length and breadth of the country by motorbike with my pal Bob The B'stard).

Meantime, I'm still knockin' about - you can always drop me a mail if you want!

Cheers,
Grumbler.

Mumu Feed Moved...

Owing to machinations over at feedburner, who have recently been consumed by the all powerful Google empire, the Music and Mumblings 'feed' has changed a little. This change is, in most cases, completely 'transparent to the user', but it does affect some things, like the little player you see on the right of the site here.

The old feed was http://feeds.feedburner.com/MusicAndMumblings
And the new one is http://feeds2.feedburner.com/MusicAndMumblings

So, if you're off your feed, maybe you need number twos....

Music and Mumblings - 047 - Back to Nearly Normal....

Ah, the life of a gobetrotting international businessman is hectic. I imagine. But, I can tell you for certain that the life of an evil tempered middle manager in a software company can, at times, also be hectic. Today's shownotes come to you, slightly belatedly, from te Star Alliance Lounge in London Heathrow's terminal 1. As one who has become accustomed to the Virgin Upper-Class experience, I have to say tat this is a slightly different kettle of fish. Anyway, enough burbing - what did we hear today?
