thanks for requesting friendship,studying other peoples profiles is chucking up alot of artists i've never heard of,now all I need is loads of time to listen to it.I've still been buying cds in quite large quantities,I not very computer literate and can just about cope with the basics of this site.

I mean't to say yesterday that recently I bought the first of two JSP George Formby boxes,If you buy cds and don't already own them you 'll get over 100 tracks per set and they are worth every penny(amazon about £15).I mention this because the one thing that bugs me about lastfm is finding tracks and not being able to play all of it.One day maybe we'll be friends.

Hi mate ,i was mainly refering to the few that were calling him a pervert or smut,wanker ,etc.I've not been using Lastfm long and I find that people who don't like an artist or track have a tendency to write filth about the artist.Why not say you don't like it or not even bother.

I've just discovered the song "Hey Moon" by Speck Mountain - you may want to give it a listen (on eMusic) along with some of their others - another lovely, dreamy & soothing sound...

President Obama has some serious issues to deal with. People being laid off from jobs. Food prices are going up. Work is not easy to come by?! The only thing I am buying are my necessities which I have always been doing for the past year except for my diversion to see a show. Fortunately, I know how to manage my $ but unfortunately a lot of individuals are into buying unnecessary things which is causing all this debt. My solution is that a lot of people need to stop being so emotional in their finances. Buy what you can afford! Ugh. So hard to reprogram some people. Thank you for the support here! : D

CALLIGRAPHY
Hassan Massoudy is an Iraqi calligrapher. See below for an example of his work or find out more at...
Hassan Massoudy's web page.
Also not to be missed: the Japanese calligrapher (and Zen monk): Sengai.
POETRY
Solveig von Schoultz (1907-1996) was a great Swedish-language poet from Finland. This (below) is one of her poems (translated by Anne Born) from a collection called Snow and Summers (Publisher: Forest Books) which sadly seems now to be out of print:
You Always Thought
You always thought dull fields were radiant green.
Believed more good was in store for you.
That earth welcomed the thunder of your hooves.
That there was room for your shining mane.
The sun dwelt in your great body.
Your flanks shone with life’s sweat.
Your muzzle was strength’s tenderness
and mares fell silent at your call.
Unsuspicious one, what did you know of boundaries?
What did you know of envy’s barbs,
of mean fences that tore at your leaping hooves?
No accusation in your mute eye.
Richly
your warm death runs out into the grass.
Your sun streams out of you
And your end is as your beginning:
trust
I came across a book of translations (Temple Dusk: Zen Haiku) of haikus by the Japanese poet Mitsu Suzuki many years ago in the Poetry Library in London. Her writing is muted and delicate in a way that for some reason reminds me of the British painter Gwen John (whose painting of a girl holding a cat is a favourite of mine). Here's a seasonal haiku from Mitsu Suzuki:
Spring
lingering cold
/ / I'm hurt with my own words
Other poets: The 'Shakespeare' of Bengali literature, Tagore; political but so very poetical - the American poet Adrienne Rich; dour, Welsh nationalist / Anglican priest and true poet: R.S. Thomas and the Sufi Teacher Rumi.
COMEDY
Morecambe & Wise (below) were the most popular comedy double act Britain has ever seen - and one of the longest-lasting (1941-1984). Along with Laurel & Hardy they're my all-time favourite feel-good comedy stars.
NOVELS - CRIME AND OTHERWISE
The Hop-Çiki-Yaya series of crime novels by Turkish author Mehmet Murat Somer are great fun. Featuring a transvestite computer programmer/bar owner turned amateur detective, you get a view of Istanbul that no guide book could provide. The Inspector İkmen novels by the English author Barbara Nadel are also set in Istanbul - and are also good. The Guardian interviewed both authors last year: see here.
My favourite crime novel of recent years is The Blood Spilt by Swedish writer Åsa Larsson. The psychology behind the story is subtle and thought-provoking.
More generally, these novels by Icelandic author Halldór Laxness are amazing: The Fish Can Sing and Independent People. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955.

REAL BUT DISTANT PLACES
Alpha Centauri (below) is the nearest sun system to our own. Take me home.
See this site for more beautiful images of the universe:
NASA - astronomy's photo of the day.
AND FINALLY ...
At Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre in Dorset (here in England) the staff work to rehabilitate apes and monkeys rescued from the pet trade and others who have spent their lives in laboratories.
There is a TV series Monkey Life about the centre (following on from the previous long-running Monkey Business). And the centre is a great place to visit.
... preferably soon !
