Former radio 1 DJ and world music advocate Andy Kershaw, worthy of remembrance for his attitude that there was so much great music out there that wasn't getting heard.

As a proper Jo Nesbø fangirl, I've really enjoyed the latest Netflix series Detective Hole. The atmosphere is spot-on, the actor is perfect for the role, and as in books, they've paid a lot of attention to the music selection. I would wish all of the Harry Hole books would get the same treatment.

There is a zoo where a big gorilla is a favourite attraction... sadly, the gorilla passes away. The zoo don't have the money for a new gorilla so they hatch a plan to have one of their staff to dress up in a hugely realistic gorilla costume and a guy called Trevor is picked for the job.

Trevor doesn't like it much but he needs the job so he goes along with it. The public don't seem to notice and he grows to love the job, enjoying the attention and working out funny bits to keep the crowd entertained. No doubt about it, Trevor the Gorilla is a big hit.

In the cage next door is a ferocious lion. Trevor starts goading the lion which always goes down well with the crowd. He throws things into the lions cage, dances around to entice loud roars of anger and does everything he can to keep the crowd entertained. The more furious the lion gets the more the crowd love it.

Until one day, disaster! Trevor leans too hard against the barrier between his cage and the lions and it gives way, sending Trevor tumbling into the lions den. He lies there, winded, and the lion is upon him in a second, pressing him into the ground with a furious snarl. Trevor starts to scream and the lion opens its mouth and lowers its head...

... and whispers 'f***ing hell, Trevor, shut the f*** up or we BOTH get the sack'....

I just bought a new Bonnie Tyler satnav.  Not too happy with it.

It just keeps telling me to turn around...



... and every now and then it falls apart.

Ron, an elderly man in Australia, had owned a large farm for several years. He had a little lake at the back that was plagued by people breaking in and using it for swimming despite warnings not to.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the lake as he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.  Bloody intruders! He grabbed a bucket and headed on down.   As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his lake. He coughed to make the women aware of his presence, and they all went to the deep end screeching in indignation as he told them that they were trespassing and politely asked them to leave.

One of the women shouted to him, "f*** off, you old perv, you just want to see us naked!  Dirty b****rd!'"

Ron smiled and held up the bucket.  " Ladies, I didn't come down here to watch you ladies naked, far from it... I'm just here to feed the crocodile..."

Everything Else / Re: PREYRS

I finished a live video from the Krefeld gig and oh boy, this was more of a rescue mission and really a hard fight to find solutions for seemingly unsolvable problems but i am now totally happy with the result and feel, that it does capture the great live performance of PREYRS and that's what i wanted..live unfiltered and raw..

The task was to get something flowing, but every source had its flaws... so my son had to have an overwatch of the 3rd stationary cam, because it had to be stopped and started again after 29min and there will be always a little gap there and i told him to never stop his handcamera the whole time even when he is just moving around...but...he didn't;-)

So, this took a while to fix and i went from frustration to: well, this is acceptable and finally now, i just love it...and this is not about my work but about the great performance of PREYRS

Leave a like or comment on this, i would really appreciate some honest feedback (i totally go editblind after a while) and how you like the performance of the band...
