Rain??? Glorious here up in The Peaks man. Sky looks like The Simpsons
It's been grey here on The Wirral since late morning, no sign of any "sky water" just yet. Funny, when we don't want it, it pisses down constantly, when we do there's a drought.

I need rain, last week I treated the front lawn with moss killer, mowed and scarified it Sunday, sprinkled on aftercut. Yesterday I used a liquid feed with the watering can, got the hose out to give it a good lashing and fuck me the sprinkler is broken, went to Homebase for a replacement, out of stock grrrr. Anyway the skies are grey rain (maybe thunder) are forecast so let's wait an see.

I find this way of thinking strange. So did you do the same with "Ruby Tuesday", "Fool on the Hill", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Hocus Pocus", "Living in the Past"?
No because I only heard those songs on the radio or TV (except Focus). It wasn't my Fourth Album the stylus was lifted from it was a friend I practiced guitar with, he had just borrowed IV from his cousin, it may have been the first time he played it, no idea, it was a long time ago. I was at another friends months later when I heard the full STH. I didn't have my own copy until about late 73 early 74. As to why my mate Pete lifted the "needle", maybe because STH intro had no woomph, don't know.

I'd be satisfied with an all stereo 75 board, stereo on part of Page's bow solo and Bonzo partially on Moby Dick is not sufficient for me. Mixing the 99% mono MSG 75 to 5.1 was laughable.

After two days of sweltering 24/25c heat today it's back down to15c the sky is grey and there's drizzle, so May ends as it began. Oh, hang on it's the 2nd of June, never mind.

Around 66 Million years ago many scientists believe an asteroid about 6 miles long at minimum, and traveling about 40 times the speed of sound, struck the present day Yukitan peninsula with the center of the strike likely in the water, in the SW Gulf of Mexico, causing the extinction of about 75 % of life on Earth at the time and ending the long reign of the dinosaurs. There is a YouTube video called "What did the Dinosaurs see before the Chicxulub impact". Its pretty good. Shows the sky lighting up as the comet approach's and a good dramatization. There are many who dispute this however. I am on the fence. Some arguments include the presence of iridium and that it could be there for other reasons and the lack of large quantities of shocked quartz. Yes it gets into geology and other scientific areas pretty heavy. Just wondering if there are any opinions? This would be an event as great as the flood in Genesis.

The new Bloomington 18-01-75 soundboard, I'm not impressed. Another dry as a bone 1975 sbd zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Good job it was free.

I'm Gonna Crawl, my one time last song before bed, love it. Carouselambra, never liked it.

Got my second Astra jab yesterday, as with the first jab got asked to sit and wait for ten mins before leaving. The allocated room had about ten people in there, all except one had their phones out staring at whatever they were looking at, can't people leave their fookin' phones alone for ten mins ffs, mine stayed in my pocket while I stared at the clock on the wall until it was time to leave.

Several reasons explain why Led Zeppelin probably wasn't included in the documentary.
Zep didn't seek out the press, nor performed on talk shows (hence, lack of live video footage), nor granted interviews for anyone who asked. They weren't mainstream. You wouldn't see Robert Plant or Jimmy Page being interviewed on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
At the time, most of the Zep fanatics were mainly (but not all) teenage boys. Not too many 20-something women fans of Led Zep back in the day.
Besides the fourth album being released near the end of the year (Nov. '71), Zeppelin didn't get played much on those American airwaves on radio stations we'd now call adult-oriented rock (AOR) stations. Artists like Carole King, Elton John and even Sly Stone, etc., got much more airplay on those stations.
The only song that would have gotten the most play would have been Black Dog.
And I'd argue that it took a several months for Stairway To Heaven to catch on with the overall public.
On Stairway, it was ages before I heard the whole song, as soon as that recorder came in the stylus was off the record.

Season 3 Episode 1. I think. The aftermath of the bombing at funeral. Mrs CP is the controller
It is the most fantastic series we have ever watched. Fast paced, wonderfully written and the acting is top draw. We are watching 2 or 3 episodes an evening.
Excellent series, if you think what you have watched so far is good wait until you get to series five, six and seven. Rupert French as Peter Quinn is outstanding in his role, amazing storyline.

It's unwatchable, agenda-driven garbage.
Really, no love for 71 then, probably the best year of the decade musically. Now we need a review of 1969, the best year musically of that decade. Anyway, I just downloaded the whole 1971 series, tonight's viewing for me.

I read David Hepworth's book "NEVER A DULL MOMENT: 1971 - The Year That Rock Exploded" back when it came out in 2016.
I mention it now because it seems they have made a music documentary from the book and it is being shown on Apple TV. I don't have Apple TV but maybe some of you do, and you can watch and let me know how much coverage they give to Led Zeppelin IV.

I have that book, must get around to reading it sometime, bought it when it came out. I'm shocked that it has sat on my shelf for over five years unread.

Same as @JTM. Glorious this morning. On went the Golf attire. By 9 o'clock it was off. Still warmish but I can see the impending clouds coming over the hill. Another shite summer me thinks?
The rain has just been lashing it down, thunder and lightning too, spring my arse it's more like late autumn.
-
7am it was glorious, cloud free and bright sunshine, 8.30am the same, 9am the black clouds are rolling in,. looks like rain, again. The temperature has dropped too, think I'll put a jumper on grrrrr.

Neither is better than the other, one though maybe favoured over the other depending on ones opinion. Although STH is iconic whereas ALS is not.

Yesterday the weather was horrendous, the worst I can remember in the first week of May. We had almost ten mins of hailstones, the temp went from 11c to 2c, a couple of rolls of thunder, bright and sunny one minute then darkness. Here is a video taken just less than ten mins away from my house, the bad stuff starts ten mins in.

Hi, I'm getting customized leather seats in jeep wrangler. I would like to get black embroidery of the 4 symbols (signs) to both front seats...But was told by company they can't to that because it's a trademark This has been 30 years in the making, once I got the jeep I wanted. This is a tribute to my brother who passed away in 1988 at age 17 in a auto accident. He would've been 50 this year.. He was led zepplin biggest fan.. I so saddened by this.. Though life whenever I have bad days zepplin always comes on the radio and I know it him watching over me... How can I get permission to trademark signs?
I think you are being fobbed off, it's more like they haven't got the capability to sew on the fourth album symbols.

I HATED that era of Pink Floyd. So uninspired, no improvisation. I know The Wall and other performances were on timers and led to little improv, but this was so much worse. Gilmour wasn’t competing against a wall being constructed for Christ’s sake....
Totally agree, I refer that era to that era as Gilmour Floyd, they are like a clock without an hour hand. Live 8 proved that, only four songs but the best Pink Floyd performance since 1981, it knocked any performance of the Gilmour period out of the ball park.

We are meeting with our eldest Son and his Girlfriend, seeing our ten month old Grand Daughter who we haven't seen since Xmas. Outdoors for a meal at a local pub, not ideal really. I'd rather they came to our house or we to theirs, f'ckin' "Covid" rules. We are missing some golden times in our little Alba's life.

Bad news man, it's a drag when pleasantries are pooped but I'd take weird over the unpleasant WPC spinster next door to me. Well divorcee actually, she was alright (sort of) until her rather short three month marriage.
