Black Elvis, Blue Lines and Doctor's Strong Hands - What More Could You Want on a Saturday Afternoon?

Hello all,

I've been going through my albums and pictures I have taken over the past year and found some snaps I have never published, but feel they deserve an outing. So, here is a small collection:

Just another day in the office for Black Elvis


Which one of these would you choose to play on your record player? My choice is of course Blue Lines by Massive Attack. In fact this is one of my favourite albums of all times. Now that I am reminded of it, I think I'll listen to it again today.
 

Don't know what it is about this picture, but I like it. It must be the composition of random objects put together that is pleasing to my eye.
 

And, save the best for last! I have taken this picture sometime last year and never knew how to "fit it in" in one of my posts. As this is a random post with no particular theme, I think it can finally make an appearance. This is one of my favourite pictures I have taken in the last year or so.


I hope your weekends filled with random and exciting moments. Enjoy it and see you soon.

I love this selection of photos, I also have some nice pics which do not fit into a normal blog, this is a good idea. Please enlighten me, who is Massive Attack? I have never heard of them. Perhaps they were around when we were in S.Africa! Diane

Hello Diane,

Massive Attack is from Bristol and they came into the scene in 1991. Blue Lines is their first album. It is melancholly, sombre and beautiful. Their first single Unfinished Symphony is very often voted as one of the best songs in the last 20 years.
