My apologies regarding the poor quality of the pics. Mobile phone and distance. A non too conducive combination. Drop a line in the comments if you were there, or if you have better pics from the night I’d be happy to post them with credit.

Hurdy gurdy

Hurdy Gurdy man. Steve Hillage. I am so going to buy music by this guy. I used to have motivation radio on tape, remember those. Didn’t know who made the album at the time, just its name written on it. Never bothered to check it out. Until now a forgotten memory. Brought flooding back Cheers LastFM, how the cassette got into my possession, I can’t remember.
Currently listening to anonymous two by Focus, it’s a 20min+ musical experience and I’m livin’ it.

It seems Steve Hillage was a member of gong in the early days before going off to do his own stuff, didn’t know any of the details, It was all about the tunes. Nothing else remains.
And now to bring this all to a tidy end… erm link if you still are wondering what the hell is a hurdy gurdy.

Queens of the Stone Age
Tangled up in plaid
Scrobbled Queens of the.. this was first track. I am wondering what to follow.
It is strange, using the Last fm music interface, you type a band and you will 100% always get that band first track, but then some random track hits you in the teeth. Ahh, can sometimes be a rewarding experience.. luck of the digital learning about you draw.
Here goes..
Born of a broken man Rage against the machine. Skipped it Velvet revolver, not sure, will let it ride. She builds quick machines.. like it
Since then we have had the strokes REM some weird other stuff, helping me in my quest to find a viable plugin to exclude category.
Eagles of Death Metal Solid Gold. got to laugh, just sayin today how I’m not overly impressed, will see what this track has to offer. Recognize it. I hold up my hands. It’s a tune.
Update
Got this new plugin ‘Advanced Category Excluder’ to work from these guys Cheers.
Beth Orton Nice Came from the route of Kate Bush. Cat Power, mellow female artistsss. I’m loving this route Peter Gabriel Lazarus raised. up uP UP>>
Bugger, had my link to last post, so if I post a non picture post I will link to wrong place, as I have just noticed after Queens of the Stone Age post. What I need is ‘get last post from specific category plugin’ Show me the link. Show me..ee
Another Update
Solved the problem, found the plugin, Love it when a plan comes together, although I am surprised anything works at all with the amount of dodgy customizations on my part. Any how here it is if you need similar. Customizable Post Listings classic little bit of code. Hats off.
You just need to add a little code to where you want the desired effect. He has a number of built templates and examples. I tweaked around a little to get it working, cos I know not what I’m doing, ended up with this.
<?php c2c_get_recent_posts(1, "<li>%post_URL%</li>", '15'); ?>
The numbers in the above are:
1 = no. posts to be displayed. I just want the last one.
15 = no. of category. My Daily Photo is listed as 15, this can be found from dashboard-manage-Categories.
That’s it.
