Listening notes: put on the LP Great Day (1972) by Simon Haseley and Peter Reno. When you get to the track Hammerhead, read the above post, while stroking a white cat, or tabby if you can’t find one. Imagine that the easy listening track is a cover of The Offspring’s 2008 track of the same name. Tap your feet to the guitars, trombones, trumpets, drums, harp, violins, cellos, xylophone and flutes of messers H and R. Think awhile about James Bond themes that never were. Afterwards, eat a segment of tinned grapefruit, in juice rather than syrup. Sit for the rest of the album, thinking of sunny days by the sea, watching porpoises and fulmar. If you have sticky hands, don’t wipe them on the cat.
