This week’s gone a bit Pete Tong - as "we continue" with the Radio 1 DJ’s references from last week
I went to my fav. Tesco store this morning - the one in the ‘old’ Hoover Building in Perivale (West London) and it sure felt like the weekend to me! It must be the sunny weather we’ve been having around here… although, typically, it will be cold, raining and windy when it really is the weekend and I go into London Town
Still, regardless of the weather, I’m looking forward to a Pizza with Rich on Saturday (27th) and, as the days are now warmer, I may do things other than browse and generally ‘hang-around’ in the KJ West One Hi Fi shop that is located in New Cavendish Street. Thinking also of ‘popping in’ to Workshop Coffee in Wigmore Street to sample the espresso that is on offer there. Although a small place, I’m hoping that I can enjoy the coffee that gets it listed in the Top Ten Coffee Shops of youngandfoodish.com Incidentally, Wigmore Street is the original location of the afore (and regularly) mentioned Hi Fi shop…
This morning, amongst other things whilst not studying(!), I swapped my regular cd over to Dvorak’s Czech Suite - Op. 39, from around 1880. This is mainly to have a break from hearing Smetana’s Ma Vlast with this Dvorak suite consisting of much shorter pieces and also being somewhat lighter in nature and ‘feel’. The task with this will be to decide which orchestra/conductor combination of the three I have, that I prefer. This is something that I’ve already done with Ma Vlast and I currently listen to the Antoni Wit/Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra’s version recorded on the Naxos Label in 1993 and 1994. Due to my study commitments though (etc.) this will have to wait a while and, currently... I’m just listening guv, just listening…
Feels like a Saturday...
