Imperial War Museum - Art From The First World War. Very very good exhibit - Nash, Bomberg, Nevinson, Wyndham Lewis, Flora Lion.. etc. don't miss it if you can get there (free admission too)

jeez - Sony - ridiculous. I've had a similar problem in the past with a Tompkins Square set, a Revenant box and a Bear Family box - in each case they just posted out a replacement cd, didn't ask for anything from me.. they just rightly assumed I wasn't a thief I guess.

Looks good! - thanks for the tip..

Done - have it in exchange for the extra postage you paid on the recent dispatch, and for all those commas

the answers to those questions really depend on how much of a smart-arse you want to be!

the lawyers are at it, apparently..

Did you send out any of the pre-ordered copies of the books yet? - just wondering if Royal Mail have stolen mine..

By chance, John Aldridge at the tiny but excellent Fry Gallery in Saffron Walden - wonderful stuff, as well as all the Ravillious, Keith Vaughan etc there.. the last day before the gallery goes into hibernation for winter so unfortunately this can't function as a recommendation http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/10339774/Fresh-airing-for-artist-who-loved-the-outdoors.html

I dare not try it yet - as I'm running such old adobe cs (and quark) - it's a miracle it still worked with mountain lion.. I'll wait till my employer gets me the new stuff.

Yes - definitely worth a visit at the moment - there's a number of interesting things in there right now (and nearly all different stuff from six months back..) -

Glad it was worth the trip :-)

Leeds Gallery - 'Art & Life', Ben & Winifred Nicholson plus Christopher Wood etc.. really nice paintings. What struck me was how sparsely they scraped the paint on often (but in just the right places!) - http://theculturevulture.co.uk/blog/culture-news/cut-and-paste/leeds-art-gallery-celebrates-art-and-life/

Can you answer this question from blues researcher Chris Smith?!: "Can anyone find Aunt Esther saying 'You ugly spasm!' to Fred on Youtube?"

My guess is that they made an error making the two books available - which was a major piece of work handed out for free. They shut down access to that original promo page and replaced with the new one a couple of days after

There are a few JSP boxes with Paramount material; I have the one that has about 100 blues tracks. For the blues stuff I have a large number of Document complete works, and there's also a great deal on Spotify - but i'm a fan and not an 'expert', so knowing what was actually released on Paramount and what wasn't isn't my strong point.. but i would very much like to have this set at some point in the future (makes me nervous that this is 'volume 1'), though each time i mention it in passing at home i get very cold breeze from my other half :-o
