Interweaving some more musical meanderings.
Free download of Massive Attack - Girl I Love You with Horace Andy - She Is Danger Remix.

Wow! Wish I'd been at the Al Green concert. One more, maybe?

Talk about bad architecture, what's the story behind those dreadful supposedly temporary prefab classroom's that get trucked in when class numbers start to swell, and never leave.
But in a cost saving measure, they have found a convenient design for makeshift prisons with double bunking options.

Can I be your brother from another other?

Nah, at my stage of life I don't want to read anything that is merely commercial and not enriching.
I already try not to do that. Guess I got caught up in the hype, and still found it an easy enough read, although, no, not enriching.
I'm reading Alaa al-Aswani's Chicago and I agree with the reviewer that some of the narratives are a bit tedious, but overall quite enjoyable. The Yakoubian Building sounds more promising, and will have to add that to the almost monumental list. Culture in the spotlight, or in conflict, is a bit of a theme of mine (or trend?). Tash Aw, Mohsin Hamid (The Reluctant Fundamentalist) and of course Amitav Ghosh. The Glass Palace is one of my favourites. Read Rohintin Mistry also, several years back. If I could just drag myself away from these threads, I'd get some decent reading done.

Yeah, I got that, which makes the first part of my post, written without prior knowledge, kind of funnier [redacted] than it was otherwise. Can I have lie down now?

Umm, this thread is many themed, and I seem to recall one of them being music? Pay attention, it's only page two!
Just looked at the Laneways schedule, and the 3Ds are up against Echo and The Bunnymen. Guys, umm, good chance we might want to see both, perhaps? I can see what they are doing with the staggered timetable, and it is undoubtedly impossible to keep everyone happy, so fair enough. Whinge over. Carry on... Grumble grumble...
BTW Heard the new Surf City song on Morning Glory this morning and it was oh, awesome!

Ass is not arse. Old folks learnt English at school rather than learned American.
Oh, I thought it meant Donkey, but whatever you say ;-)
Equus Asinus - the same route (intended) as asinine.
About them cycle tracks. More cycle love please.

I believe you'll find the word is "pendant". (Plural: pendant's.)
I was scrabbling around to change 'apostrophes' to 'apostates' and ran out of time, which now seems 'apposite'.
Carry on.
