We had a cosy day voting for the Top 2000 here, and I cut my finger on a bladeless kitchen utensil.

BBP - 4-12-2018 at 23:38

This year's Zappadan is going to be tricky with my job, but I'm trying to play as much as possible on my free days. Today, it was Freak Out, Absolutely Free, We're Only In It For The Money, YCDTOSA 5/1, Lumpy Gravy, Ruben/Jets Greasy Love Songs version, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Hot Rats, and now Weasels Ripped My Flesh.

polydigm - 6-12-2018 at 01:59

I've also been pretty busy.

So, Bonny, do you have any suggestions about things to visit in an around Eindhoven? Anything that might require a booking?

BBP - 6-12-2018 at 08:05

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

No. There's not much to do here, let alone stuff that would require a booking, unless you really want to see the castle ruins of Asten and they're way out of the way and tiny. We have a museum of modern art, Van Abbemuseum, and a few industrial museums, a historical open air museum and a lively shopping centre that has anything but record stores.

I wrote an Eindhoven tour guide once. Except for the shops (some of them are defunct) it's still rather valid, particularly the title. It's on my site:

BBP - 7-12-2018 at 22:35

Keeping up with Zappadan while juggling a job... I'm presently as far as I was last year, listening to OSFA as last album of the day...

God I love Andy.

aquagoat - 8-12-2018 at 12:50

Went to the dentist yesterday, fot a yearly chekup. Everything is in good shape.

OSFA really is a great record. And ANdy is probably in my top ten Zappa tracks.

BBP - 8-12-2018 at 17:03

Nice! Good job!

Squeezed in Bongo Fury and Zoot Allures before I went to work. I now also need to clear up the area in front of the stereo so I can play Sleep Dirt and Sheik.

BBP - 9-12-2018 at 18:24

Played Sleep Dirt and Sheik but Orchestral Favourites will have to wait until I find back the copy Poly burnt for me.

BBP - 9-12-2018 at 23:10

Failed to find OF, resorted to YT. So today was Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, Orchestral Favourites, Sheik Yerbouti, Baby Snakes, TTR and now YAWYI, which as I often mentioned is one of my least favourite albums. I have bought 3 copies of that hoping I'd get something that sounds better since the poor sound is really what kills it, but neither the newer release nor the vinyl helped much.

polydigm - 11-12-2018 at 04:19

Zappanale tickets paid for!

Still plenty of details to iron out.

BBP - 11-12-2018 at 19:51

Congrats! Glad to hear you're going!

Currently playing YCDTOSA vol 2. Also did TMFU and LSO today.

BBP - 13-12-2018 at 10:48

Francesco at the moment...

polydigm - 13-12-2018 at 14:26

I'd forgotten about that OF burn. Have you found it yet?

BBP - 13-12-2018 at 20:00

Not yet... I'm thinking of getting a decent version eventually.

Today I had some great news! My contract will be taken over by my company, which means no more staffing agency! :biggrin:

polydigm - 15-12-2018 at 15:21

Good news!

aquagoat - 15-12-2018 at 20:52

That's cool, Bonny, enjoy!

BBP - 17-12-2018 at 16:22

Christmas package today...

not much since I'm still a temp but I got a small speaker and a chocolate bar.

polydigm - 18-12-2018 at 09:17

More chocolate?

BBP - 18-12-2018 at 15:20

Caramel salt,hardly my favourite flavour...

BBP - 18-12-2018 at 23:27

BF's out of the door, played Playground Psychotics, Ahead Of Their Time, YCDTOSA vol 6 and the two Zappa covers Klodderige Jus and Wij Zijn Niet Alleen by the Rosa Ensemble. Two more lifetime-CDs to go and ample time to re-watch 200 Motels!

BBP - 20-12-2018 at 22:58

In today's episode of BBP against the AIVD Christmas Puzzle I'm doing a word search from hell - like 50 names in 5 categories that you first need to encrypt and then find in a huge diagram.

I found three so far... 47 to go...

BBP - 22-12-2018 at 08:12

Managed to juggle Zappadan with afulltime job!

aquagoat - 22-12-2018 at 13:30

I gave my blood today. My girlfriend does it quite often so she asked me if i would do it. I did. I'm not really a fan.

BBP - 22-12-2018 at 23:24

Well done!
My father's been a blood donor since his teens, his mother too was a blood donor, and my sister was one until her tick bite. Dad's blood is quite popular with them, he's O-.
I considered it since I might just be O-, but I'm too scared of needles.

BBP - 24-12-2018 at 07:30

I don't typically 'do' Christmas. It's kitsch and full of bells, pine, christianity and other things that make me itch.
2018 was a pretty big year for me though, since I got a new job. And in the canteen, they have a radio. Which plays Christmas songs all the time. Now I liked Slade's Christmas song but hearing it twice a day...
And then there's the company Christmas party...
Which was totally awesome - at the Evoluon, my beloved UFO-shaped building, with a circus theme and great spare-ribs. Could've stayed there forever!

Like some other members of my family, I'm a bit impulsive, but I'm also timid, that does curb my spontaneity. Yesterday I did something highly impulsive.
As I was cycling home from work, I noticed a sign that said "Free (couldn't read)." This peaked my interest, after all, I'm Dutch, so I walked over, bicycle in hand, to see what was free.

It was Christmas trees! We always used to have one, but back in 2007 the combination of high prices and my worsening pine allergy made us stop getting them, so now we have two little plastic things to keep things sort of Christmas-y. In a split second decision I decided to salvage the poor tree that would otherwise have been burnt, laid it on my bicycle and walked home.

Dad was a bit dumbfounded, he hadn't expected me to come home with a tree, but he directed me to the tree stand, and brought the decoration boxes from the attic.
All the baubles are there, from the newest one I got at work to the old aluminum baubles that my father made because mini-BBP loved to squeeze them. The newer lights break all the time but the oldest lightbulb ones that were in the tree when I was tiny are still there. The wooden figurines, the disco-ball, the elegant purple pendants, the beautiful mat purple baubles, the old silver baubles that are older than me, the paper angel I made aeons ago, the pompon balls we bought at the christmas market when I was in elementary school... It's a jumble of different colours and textures but all baubles are welcome here. For the first time in years, I feel the Christmas spirit. Not the tacky stuff from the movies, but a nostalgic spirit of the good ol' days when Christmas was worstenbroodjes and free from school, sleighing at Grandma's and gazing at the beautiful tree.

Unfortunately the tree toppled today, I hope it'll stay up this time... and that after Christmas is over, we can put him in the yard.

I wish you all very happy holidays!

aquagoat - 24-12-2018 at 10:09

Haaa, that's a very nice and lovely story Bonny.

Happy holidays to you. Have fun!

polydigm - 24-12-2018 at 22:40

Merry Xmas guys!!

I agree with Aqua, that's a lovely story Bonny. My wife has always been a full on Xmas person and I've gradually been drawn into it over the years. It's always a big production here.

BBP - 27-12-2018 at 00:01

Tree's still standing!

I spent Christmas at BF's, which was wonderful, we went to see his grandmother, had dinner at his sister's and solved a lot of puzzles!

polydigm - 27-12-2018 at 03:14

I'm just taking it easy in the wake of all the festivities. All that preparation and then it's over in a flash.

Anyone set themselves new year resolutions? I've just taken up regular swimming as exercise and aim to keep it up three times a week. I'm still formulating other resolutions.

BBP - 3-1-2019 at 07:28

Keeping my job and losing weight.

aquagoat - 4-1-2019 at 15:33

Happy new year to you, guys. No particular resolutions for me, just trying to continue what I started last year would be fine.

BBP - 4-1-2019 at 22:20

Rough day today... :freak:

BBP - 8-1-2019 at 20:03

My best-viewed post on my Tumblr has been flagged and condemned to being "inappropriate". I'm really upset about this now that it's been reviewed and still marked as inappropriate.

polydigm - 12-1-2019 at 03:17

Sorry to hear you had a rough day. I didn't think it had been over a week since I was here last.

I don't know much about Tumblr, they sound pretty strict. What do they say is wrong with your post? Is it the same one you mentioned some time ago?

BBP - 14-1-2019 at 07:25

My apologies for staying out of touch for so long - I was on a weekend away with the inlaws.

BBP - 16-1-2019 at 21:48

Weekend away was fun but exhausting - I'm not used to little tykes running around while you're trying to get some sleep.

I had set myself to read more of the 'French experience' last year. This means more history and literature in English translation. Some looking at maps. The period I've studied in general over the last ten years is Euro Renaissance and one of the first things I read (and it was online) were memoirs of Philippe de Commines. He attended and acted as sometimes ambassador to Louis XI who died 1483. A bio of him I finished some ten years ago too.
Anyway this time I go around this circle of topical study it gets wider and deeper.
Today I read a Social and Cultural History of Early Modern France ~1450-1789, from Cambridge Uni Press
I should get thru this year a bio of Francis I taht is on the shelf
I should finish the last ten stories of Balzac's 'Droll Stories' (published 1842, translated 1874) this month or next - and which has been hilarious
and, later, I will continue to read various stories of his, the famous ones, lots of the early ones, and I have also been reading
a bunch of Inspector Maigret stories of George Simenon from the 1930's - '50's.\

The 20th c. mystery stories are so easy to pick and speed through :drums:
I like all of it.
If any one has recommendations, I'm all ears and eyes today :bouncing:

Not a lot to say really, except I hope everyone's doing okay.

BBP - 20-1-2019 at 21:26

Puney andsick, and solving a jigsaw.

One of those fashion things out here is tiny jigsaws - they take about a quarter of the space your regular jigsaw does. My sister-in-law has taken a shine to them. I found three at the second-hand shop, but before I give them to her I need to make sure they are complete.

So now I'm doing one of the island of Terschelling - and let me tell you I am not impressed with these tiny things. It's very hard to make out what's on them.

aquagoat - 21-1-2019 at 08:40

This week-end I helped my ex-girlfriend move in her new flat. There was my ex-step brothe, his husband, my ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend and my ex-nephew. We all had a great time, ate good food, drank good wine and whisky, and laughed a lot.

Today, I'm not working cause of the weather, everything is frozen around here, so working on the roofs is out of the question.

BBP - 21-1-2019 at 20:08

That's a nice thing to do Aqua!

Learned that one of my favorite colleagues won't get a contract renewal, which saddens me greatly.

Also saw a kingfisher, which was odd because they don't typically hang out in the city.

Had my contract today, and I organized "Hot Chocolate Friday" at work (which basically meant I bought some and put it there).

polydigm - 2-2-2019 at 00:33

Things are going well with me. Just plowing on with my new full time composing life. I tend to have many projects on the go rather than woking on one composition at a time, which I find overall way more productive, but one has to be very patient. It keeps my inspiration running almost constantly. Every now and then one comes to completion and that's very satisfying. I'm currently working on thirty eight projects.

Keeping in mind that I'm also the house chef, network/entertainment/utilities/vehicle maintenance manager/engineer, supplies manager, accountant and gardener.

Thirty are all original band projects which involve a lot of instrumental practicing on guitars, drums, piano and saxes (I'm leaving the brass instruments out at the moment because it was just too taxing on top of everything else I do and was holding me back - I'll get back to them in good time). Of those, three tracks for two guitars, bass and drums composed as short phone tone type pieces and one longer composition are produced completely. Another is finished bar the drums and I'm very happy with the track when played with a fairly ordinary drum arrangement played by sampled drums, but the trouble there is not so much the difficulty of the drum parts, but getting the inspiration to write them in the first place. Sometimes the drum parts flow really naturally out of a composition other times I have to really coax them out.

One of them is a band project covering a Shankar/FZ thing. That has been a monumental enterprise, with various guitars, bass, drums, piano and sax parts to practice, sampling various sounds for percussive effects and building sampled instruments and voice sampling. That is now at the polishing stage and still has a month or two to go.

Two of them are videos of solo FZ covers on guitar, Uncle Meat on steel string and Echidna's Arf on classical guitar. Redoing Uncle Meat was inspired by a comment on my previous YouTube video that had a crack at my lack of rigid rhythm and I'm enjoying playing that now to a rigid beat.

The remaining five projects are videos of five of my solo piano pieces. It's taken me a while to get to the level of playing ability required and with these five I'm finally on the verge - the light at the end of that tunnel has only a few small patches of darkness remaining. The two piano pieces I already have on YouTube are much simpler compositions and I've come a long way since then.

This may seem indulgent, harping on like this, but it can get a bit lonely from time to time not sharing with anyone outside my family. I'm still on my first year with this as a full time pursuit, which is not just a hobby - but as publishable material starts to appear and employable skills start reaching an appropriate level, I will be able to start sharing more publicly. Some income would be good, but I'm particularly looking forward to the stage when I'm ready to involve other performers.

BBP - 2-2-2019 at 19:14

Good of you to take it on as a full pursuit! Can't wait to hear your stuff!

polydigm - 3-2-2019 at 04:46

Thanks, Bonny. I've just uploaded the first of those piano compositions: Moonlight Mingle.

BBP - 3-2-2019 at 21:31

Nice,I like the jazzy feel.

polydigm - 4-2-2019 at 02:31

Thanks, Bonny. I've just uploaded one of my guitar compositions, which wasn't on that list above.
That's the way it works with me. No sooner have I given myself a schedule (if you can call how I work a schedule), I get side-tracked on something else.
It's all part of my schedule in the end, I guess.

And your processs of having lots of simultaneous projects going is the same as mine. Lots going on satisfies the multiple aspects/facets of my interests... I never get bored and and exercise / work at improving multiple skillsets. At least that's how I rationalise my perambulations and procrastinations and such. :roll:

After many tumbles and much uncertainty at my work, at last things look like they might fall into a semblance of a cohering mass rolling forward. We will see and I might stick around long enough to see how they get...

BBP - 5-2-2019 at 21:45

Nice work Poly!

Somehow guitar feels more natural to you, could that be right?

polydigm - 6-2-2019 at 13:30

BBP - 6-2-2019 at 17:30

Hmmm, good job!

I found they're very different instruments - when I play them I treat (tonal) keys differently and I tend to use different notes. Also because on piano you press down the key as soon as you want to hear it and on guitar you press the string before you want to hear it (except hammers).

'Course I haven't played guitar in years since it was painful.

polydigm - 7-2-2019 at 00:53

When I play the guitar, I don't think of the finger down and the pluck as separate, they feel simultaneous to me. And, if you persist with the pain and bleeding, your fingertips eventually adapt and harden.

Another video, one of my songs this time (another one not on the above list):

Turn Around

By the way, my caveat with these YouTube videos, that I post from time to time, is that they are snapshot sketches, that is, me in the process of developing my ideas. I will eventually (for better or worse) be publishing albums with fully produced versions of my compositions.

I do already have one album of material edited down from two garage bands I had going in my early twenties and one album of material edited down from a short garage band project in my early thirties including some multitrack stuff I produced at that time using a four track tape recorder playing along with a drum machine.

From around fifteen years ago, I have one complete album and ongoing from that time, one nearly finished album, on which the majority of instruments were played by a computer using various peripheral audio devices.

Finally I have from nine years ago an album of material from another garage band project.

I'm undecided as yet as to what to do with those.

I'm very much looking forward to completing my next album and many after that, but I'm basically trying not to wish my life away and just getting on with immersing myself in and enjoying the process of getting there.

Oh it wasn't the fingers, it was the elbow and shoulder... and the other appendages. Guitars weren't designed to be played by women. When St Vincent designed a guitar to fit the female body shape I was both happy and wondering "what took so long?"

polydigm - 18-2-2019 at 22:47

A bit quiet here at the moment?

Bonny, have you ever played an Ovation acoustic guitar?

BBP - 19-2-2019 at 09:00

That's the thing about me. As soon as the conversation turns to my breasts, everybody shuts up.

Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure of playing an Ovation acoustic guitar.

There's a nasty virus roaming around at the office. Many colleagues have gotten infected and been forced to stay at home - me, I had no fever but my voice is affected. It's been hoarse for more than a week -I was on nothing but e-mail last week because of it. This week I'm on the line again, we'll see how it goes.

polydigm - 19-2-2019 at 13:50

Ovations have that smooth bowl like body. I imagine you would find them more comfortable. I had one a long time ago and got really irritated with it slipping out of my lap while playing.

BBP - 20-2-2019 at 21:27

hmm... I wonder...

They're quite a problem you know... (resists using the word "handful") I have a short body and guitars wouldn't fit under them. Not surprising to me that the finest Dutch female guitarist, Corrie van Binsbergen, plays a bodyless guitar (also known as "stick").

BBP - 21-2-2019 at 18:59

One of my best friends at work didn't get a contract renewal, today was her last day. Very sad to see her go. She's a huge panda fan, so I crocheted a couple for her.

aquagoat - 23-2-2019 at 08:14

Sad to hear about your friend, Bonny, hopefully, she'll find another job soon.

As for me, after quite a busy period, I'm unemployed for probably two weeks, due to delay in the constuction of the building I must roof. So i'll take a one week vacation with my girlfriend, in the little flat she's got by the sea. With the weather we've had for awhile, it should be very cool.

polydigm - 24-2-2019 at 13:33

Bonny: That sucks. Employment is a human right, not something to hold over people's heads.

Aqua: Sometimes there's a silver lining. Enjoy!

BBP - 24-2-2019 at 21:48

She's got a new job, hope that works out for her...

I spent the weekend at my boyfriend's. He took me out shoe shopping, which is something I hate due to having very big feet. First shop was no success, but at the second one there was a pair that fit. So now I have some very fine shoes. Happy!

BBP - 24-2-2019 at 22:55

Looks like exciting stuff happens when I'm not here. Just a brief cycle way, a cement mixing truck broke down and lost its load of concrete, then got stuck in the concrete.

aquagoat - 25-2-2019 at 08:47

Glad to hear your friend's got a new job, Bonny. And glad you found some nice shoes. Shopping with my girlfriend is something we do quite a lot, it can be rather fun.

Don't worry, Poly, I'll definitely enjoy my little unexpected vacations. I also had a peek at my future roofing site, it's pretty big and should be quite interesting. Plus, it's only a few minutes away, by foot, from my girlfriend's flat, so it should be cool.

BBP - 26-2-2019 at 21:31

BBP - 3-3-2019 at 22:15

Re-discovered the cheerful Brabantian bar lady Betty, who hosts the carnaval TV at the regional channel and became so popular that they gave her some work outside the carnaval season.

Among the stuff that she did is a couple of hilarious recipe videos. Her cheer is infectious and the recipes give you a cardiac arrest from just watching them - like her croquette lasagna which layers puff pastry with croquettes, mayonnaise and mustard, and is topped with plenty of cheese - and it's intended for breakfast.

polydigm - 4-3-2019 at 22:18

Sounds like you've had a good week. I don't think I could eat that lasagna thing - sounds horrendous.

BBP - 4-3-2019 at 23:08

Ha! You haven't seen it yet!

https://www.omroepbrabant.nl/media/208028/Betty-s-perfecte-r...

She has 6 of those recipes online now, the bulk of them based on Dutch snacks like croquettes and frikandellen but more translateable are her Egg Bombs, which use croissant dough, milk, around 7 eggs, butter, chives, bacon and cheddar. Beat eggs with milk, butter up a muffin form. Cover the forms with croissant dough, put beat eggs in them, add bacon, chives and cheddar, and bake.

Not having a good day today...

Two days ago I decided the front yard needed some severe weed pulling. We hadn't done that in quite a while, unfortunately - lead cause of that is people tend to let their dogs shit in our front yard.

The weed pulling was exhausting - since it wasn't progressing I got DED to help. We spent a few hours on the first half. Our garden trash container's now full, so we'll have to wait before we can do round 2. I'm still sore.

So, as I went out to work this morning, guess what I found in the front yard? Dog poop. :swear:

Work was rather frustrating, but that's a long story. During the day the rain picked up badly. A beautiful rainbow appeared outside. Made some pictures and nearly missed a call.

Went home after work and got hit by a car. Not badly, just a few scraps, but my poor bicycle took a bad hit.

polydigm - 9-3-2019 at 12:58

No sooner do I comment and you have a bad day.Sorry to hear about your crash.

BBP - 9-3-2019 at 23:10

Thanks, I appreciate it. I am finding more and more bruises - mainly on my belly, legs and left hand and arm - basically I bumped into the car with my left side, then fell to the ground with a bicycle between my legs that tilted to the left.

'Course I can thank my lucky stars and oddly I was pretty chirpy at work today.

polydigm - 10-3-2019 at 10:51

The benefits of having a job and the associated self esteem. I've said it before - unemployment is a crime against humanity. There's many a time when I've awoken to an alarm and felt like crap and dragged myself to work and within moments of starting felt on top of the world. Of course, there are some pretty shitty jobs and many a person in an ill fitting job, but the self esteem of having a job and the benefits of the associated income are undeniable.

At the time of posting this, FaceBook is broken. Imagine all the nervous breakdowns that will be occurring during the next few moments.

No it's just cleaning the house at short notice.

I've posted another video - a new version of one of my FZ covers. This time on electric guitar with a regimented harpsichord background.

Uncle Meat

Nice one, Poly. I've never tried to play Uncle Meat, that doesn't seem easy, lol. That's a nice little music room you've got there.

Not having a good day today...

Two days ago I decided the front yard needed some severe weed pulling. We hadn't done that in quite a while, unfortunately - lead cause of that is people tend to let their dogs shit in our front yard.

The weed pulling was exhausting - since it wasn't progressing I got DED to help. We spent a few hours on the first half. Our garden trash container's now full, so we'll have to wait before we can do round 2. I'm still sore.

So, as I went out to work this morning, guess what I found in the front yard? Dog poop. :swear:

Work was rather frustrating, but that's a long story. During the day the rain picked up badly. A beautiful rainbow appeared outside. Made some pictures and nearly missed a call.

Went home after work and got hit by a car. Not badly, just a few scraps, but my poor bicycle took a bad hit.

Sorry about your accident, Bonny, I hope you're doing ok.

It's something I've dreamed of doing for more than forty years, so it's about time.
