Albums and singles

Nearing the end of platform 2.

Currently listening to Photek: Modus Operandi

Uninterestingly, I would never listen to just one track from Modus Operandi. Rather. it's an album  whose atmosphere one can find oneself being in the mood for.  And, if one is in the mood for that kind of  brittle, bleak and percussive electronica then one just as well stick with the entire album rather than jump about between it and other albums with a similar mood.

But, if one is in the mood for poppy music eg Hot Chip, Teenage Fanclub, The Beatles, Tamla Motown,  then one is more than happy to jump around from artist to artist and thus song to song and thus single to single.

Last night's dinner.

Forgot to take a photograph of last night's carry out chicken curry from my favourite Curry House in Glasgow, The Shenaz.

Uninterestingly, it was the first Indian restaurant I ever went to in approx 1971.
