OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1982 Compact Disks first went on sale in Germany. Although CDs offered better sound quality and greater storage than records and cassette tapes. Several music “experts” who were unwilling to move with the times still insist that vinyl or wax disks are better despite them being all hissy and poppy (the records I mean not the “experts”).

I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The Weird Weekend is now upon us. Last night's party was probably the best yet, despite weather and tent related mishaps. A splendid time was had by all...

A Eulogistic Erik Norlander review. In these days where mediocrity is celebrated and true ability often ignored it is wonderful to see a musical craftsman of Erik's stature receiving praise for his many talents. http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/08/erik-norlander-review_17.html

Another visit to the world of Thom the World Poet:

I have been resisting the temptation to do any Olympic-themed postings over the last few weeks. This is partly because I find the excess of the whole thing expensive, and the fact that in a country where people are having their Disability Benefits slashed we can spend £27 million on the opening ceremony alone is highly distasteful and smacks of bread and circuses. However, there are some interesting proggy themed links to the whole affair, and now it is all over I feel happier about writing about it.

And finally a nicely written article about the latest incarnation of Yes

And that is it for today. The blog postings are likely to somewhat perfunctory until Tuesday...

CFZ PEOPLE: Some sad news from Lionel Beer

I had a telephone call from Lionel Beer yesterday evening. Sadly, Joy - his partner of many years, and a good friend to us all - has died following a stroke earlier in the year. Our hearts go out to Lionel and her other loved ones at this time which must be devastating for them.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
