THE RUTS DC & KEVIN COYNE : Sanity Stomp (1980)

Dave Sez does it again !! Had major hassles with my other e-mail account, hence the late appearance of this gem (Dec 27th). Thought I'd save it just a couple of more days to constitute my Birthday post (though I'll be at work in the PM. Shite !!)

Be sure to leave Dave a note or two please !

And in these chilly times, there's nothing like some ultra-rare Ruts DC to warm the cockles of your heart! After Malcolm Owen's death, the Ruts DC continued work on their own compositions whilst playing as backing band for Laurel Aitken's Peel session and this long-deleted power pop album by Kevin Coyne which includes a version of one Ruts DC song, Formula Eyes. This post is specially dedicated to skamanc for keeping his wonderful site skamanchackett.blogspot.com up for us all to enjoy. Thanks to the great poor for posting this, and Christmas cheer to you all, Dave Sez.

FRANK SIDEBOTTOM : Man City Medley / Timperley Sunset

Anarchic fun from the late Chris Sievey aka Frank Sidebottom... Genius. I pass through Timperley village on the way to work - still no news on the Statue... For Bud the Wiser.

The Time's They Are A Changin'

Here we are a full 3 weeks from the New Year & I'm in a state of great change... January the 1st is traditionally a time to make resolutions & change the not - so - good aspects of your life for the better, but I have the opportunity to geat ahead by those 21 days.

Basicaly my wife and I have split up and are now living apart (for two weeks now actually), which has given me something of a window to take stock of my life. I have made the decision to go self employed in the New Year, as I have plenty of work waiting as a sub - contractor in my trade of Auto Electrics.

I am setting up as a one - man band called "English Auto Electrics", hence the related blog site you may have seen in my links here. If I don't make some positive changes like this now, I reckon I never will, as I'm 42 years old later this month.

I have discussed this with my gaffer @ work, and he's being very supportive, letting me stay on for as few or as many shifts as I want while I take the plunge into self employment.

Obviously I will be continuing the blog, so no need to worry there...

I realise this is a big diversion from the usual blogging content, but I just wanted to get a couple of issues off my chest.

So... Thanks everyone for listening !
