Met up with Ginny last night to discuss making music. I cooked some West Indian food - chicken in peanut sauce, rice and peas and fried plantains. Washed down with Peroni. The band will be called either WE or STRNEN. Any guesses on the origins or relevance of those names?
A bit of charity shopping. Took some clothes into Red Cross in Chilli Road, but came away with a navy pin-stripe suit (£7.99), a very fifties brown jacket with BIG checks (£3.99), and a Mambo Hawaiian shirt, with a sort of windpipe motif on it, and which I hope to trade with alasdair_willis for Vitamin B12 records.
Found some records further along Chilli Road in another charity shop:
OST (with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly: High Society [Capitol undated] (£1)
Red Army Choir: Conducted by Alexandrov [MfP undated] (£1)
Wout Steenhuis: Hawaiian Surf Ride [Columbia 1965] (50p)
And the same shop was also selling VHS tapes 5 for £1, so though I only wanted the Russian film House of Fools, I bought:
About a Boy: Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz 2002
Fever Pitch: David Evans 1997
High Fidelity: Stephen Frears undated
House of Fools: Andrei Konchalovsky 2003
Reeves and Mortimer Live Tour 1694: Peter Orton 1994
Splitting headache all day. Took pain killers but not to much help.
