That reminds me of last week's bait and switch where Korn were the obvious bagpipe band, yet it turned out to be blimmin Scootah!

PETER MITCHELL worked as a truck driver in Leeds in the 1970’s and photographed the city when he was out doing his rounds. Here’s Mr & Mrs Hudson outside their Newsagents — Seacroft Green, Leeds in 1974.

This is before I'd first heard Muse. That moment happened in 2001 I think; I thought it was a new Radiohead song. Very much liked it though. #totp

Because I've had today off, I'm very much stuck in a Saturday mindset. I was only jolted out of it by seeing the posting of a #totp hashtag. *I can't wait! *For 8pm when the 2000 episodes are done.

As for Radiohead, I think they wrote some lovely stuff in the 90s, although their more interesting and maybe groundbreaking (at least to a more commercial level) stuff was the next decade.

Reasonably listenable, but they've got fair winds at the moment. The hype train will move on soon enough.

I'd suggest a perfect motto for this project comes from Samuel Beckett: “Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful.”

I want to start a thread naming British places which I'm not sure actually exist, or at least, nothing's ever happened there, and nobody comes from there. I've no doubt there'll be droves of them popping out of the woodwork, but anyway. Any similarity to the Meaning of Liff is purely accidental.

An Edinburgh Asda I sometimes go in has some screens around the non-food bits at the moment, a couple of them within a metre or so of each other (last time I looked). You can stand in one place and listen to three different streams of crap talking over each other. It's great.

Stupid animal scarer in a garden I passed earlier with the dogs feels like it's given my tinnitus a boost after I lingered there to poo pick. Pretty crappy design if I can hear it without difficulty. The tinnitus increase might be because I'm thinking about it, but it does seem worse than usual.
