More or less regarded as a weed/nuisance, but really quite pretty. Back garden earlier this evening. We like to leave a nice bit of natural vegetation for the critters, creatures and birds. Rather concerning is that insect numbers seem way down this year. In fact for the last couple of years or so. We've hardly seen any butterflies, moths, bees, crane flies etc, etc....and there is a small stream running at the bottom of the garden. I don't know if this is a local/regional issue, or more widespread. My guess is that it probably reflects a wider, general trend.....I might do a bit of research on this.

Drive that bad boy over to Lillywhites to pick up some new sneakers. Or partywear!🎉

Good choice! From the samples I've listened to, these are the current superlative realizations of years of research, discovery and development by Bill - unmatched, as far as I'm aware of. John Spence's mastering is, as always, top notch!

You can keep the car.

😎😎😎 Futurama???

Or a FF/RW Radio?..>😉 ...How about a 1950s/60s Philips Mignon in-car record player? ...mind those road bumps!

Locals only.

Apologies if I have missed a communication on this but is this (5? CD set) a mix of vocal and instrumental pieces? btw a 5 cd box would be my preference for what it's worth as long as the economics of the project does not become an issue for you. Whatever you finally decide will be the right decision.

Don't forget that brand new, unopened and unplayed copies of 'My Private Cosmos' are still available for sale at Burning Shed. Why buy a used copy when you can get an original, completely fresh copy from the official source for the same money as a second hand copy? You may even strike lucky and get an autographed one! 😉.

Not a problem...Bill Connor-Clark brought this to attention on the opening page and I just thought it worth mentioning also...Like I say, there are plenty of unscrupulous/unethical people out there, who will do almost anything to make a quick buck....All I can say to whoever is reading this thread is, just buy from Burning Shed, all keep it all legit....I will have missed out on the signed card version, but that's no big deal, would be nice ofc, but getting this amazing set is all that matters...Don't put money into the pockets of profiteers. Anyway, this is a happy, upbeat thread, announcing/celebrating a great new release from Bill...So I hope it will remain so and not get off track/hijacked by the shady dealings of others...Let's not give them the time of day. Sometimes you wish you hadn't said anything about something at all, causing things to go off course a little, but it did seem worth mentioning.

Given his eyesight, perhaps this would do.

Hi Perfect Monster. I'm not suggesting Bill plays his Be Bop music or mutters a word of his lyrics, (not sure where you got that from) however, that doesn't detract from my feelings that his lyrics are wonderful and to be frank, are probably part of the sound tracks of many people's lives. I for one, have special places where the lines of Bill's songs come to visit me and remind me of the past. Quite often these are the emotions of youthful love, but they are there non the less. Only today I was walking through an area that will always have memories of an ex girlfriend linked to Futurama and that will be there for all of my life. This "Nice addition to the Wall" thread was wonderful and it just made me think how nice it would be to have a book of Bill's lyrics to browse through. As I said, I'm not suggesting that Bill reads them out, in the same way I don't expect him to come to my house and play a solo off a Modern Music, but his lyrics are art and would have special meaning, even today. And remember, writing lyrics to fit the sensual tone and timing of a song limits the options, but Bill has never failed to deliver. If Dylan can get a Nobel Prise for his lyrics being poetry, then in my mind, Bill should get at least the same. Bill's lyrics are breathtaking and worthy of a wider audience.

The original cover of Getting The Holy Ghost Across? 😁😉

David Bowie - Move On

That's a very different front sleeve to my original release.
