Sad news this morning about the death of Isaac Hayes. Obviously best remembered for Shaft (always worth watching, the soundtrack has plenty of quality on it in addition to the title track), if
you haven't got any of his stuff, I'd heartily recommend grabbing a copy of Hot Buttered Soul. It's only got 4 tracks, but has the most incredible version of 'Walk on By' on it, which contains some of the best string work ever put down on vinyl. When I eventually finish my screenplay and get someone to direct the film, expect to hear it at the end. In true Mickey Deverell style, Mr Hayes fathered 12 children during 4 marriages. Gawd bless yer Isaac, you were one cool mutha.
Nice day yesterday, managed to go swimming, do some tap shopping for the imminent bathroom decoration and go to meet lovely baby Millie for the first time. Then I drank too much wine with Marcus, which I am regretting now.
How badly to Arsenal need a new midfielder? Who will it be? Inler, Barry, Alonso, Toure? Maybe none of them , only Arsene knows. Bit surprised to hear him say he's too busy to buy anyone at the moment, why hasn't a new MD been hired yet to do all this work for him? Effing season starts Wednesday night!!
Full week at work this week, two and half days to do next week tho due to the arrival of La and the trip to Dam...
