Same goes for Play For Forever which is more about the one-off dramas:

Since Google has been turning YouTube into an unsearchable plague site it's good to find channels like this one which has been curating British TV playlists: one-off dramas, arts & science documentaries (Arena, Omnibus, Horizon), history (Chronicle, Timewatch), etc.

The This Heat CD collection, Out Of Cold Storage, is being repressed at the end of this month. Essential stuff.

Just did some disk repair on the old Mac using this here Lego brick. It's a 16 GB USB drive formatted as a Disk Warrior recovery tool. I ought to have bought a few of these, they seem to be rare and collectible now. The USB bit is retractable which is a nice feature.

It's Robert E Howard's celestial / hyperborean birthday today... 120 years young!

Not listened to the Moorcock album for a long time. This is the 1995 reissue from Griffin Music which spoils the cohesiveness by inserting a demo recording as track 2. A reissue blunder almost as bewildering as the Roxy Music album with Virginia Plain dropped into the middle. #nowplaying

Reading The Three Musketeers at the moment, and the scheming Cardinal Richelieu has made his first appearance. Looking for paintings of the real cardinal turned up this great history painting, Richelieu on the Sea Wall of La Rochelle (1881) by Henri-Paul Motte.

After another weekend of RAM overload on my website from bots/AI/both, something I did seems to have worked. This may or may not be a result of messing again with the robots and htaccess files. (Always trial and error with me and web maintenance.) Whatever caused the drop, I'll take it, thank you.

Also reading The Three Musketeers at the moment. It's all swords, all the time round here.

Pay the man.

For the past week when I've not been watching wuxia films I've been rewatching the Lone Wolf and Cub series (six films, 1972–74).
