I've been giving this a good go. Can't decide how I feel about it. Some gems for sure, but a decent amount of cheese too.

This has been one of my all time favourites since I was little. I was off school sick and snooping around my brother's records. I loved the cover. I put on side 2 and what I heard sounded the way the cover looked.

Good morning all. A frantic day ahead for me, but I've got tea on IV drip and Holst in me lugs so all is well.

I've been revisiting Lisa Gerrard's music after yesterday's Sound of Cinema (she co-wrote the Gladiator soundtrack with that bloke from the Buggles video). I had no idea she'd also had a crack at this:

I have read so much Simon Armitage this year. What a legend. The one I'm currently reading is as devastatingly beautiful as the others.

It’s coming to my home town in March. Do you think it’s a good place to start for a complete Wagner newbie like me?
