You've gotta love a company that has Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" as their hold music.

Symphony No. 7, Insect Symphony: "Grasshoppers," Kalevi Aho

I have this one! I picked it up last time I was in Hawaii.

It's a group of bugs - not a feature.

I always liked The Insect Trust. And then of course there’s Bug Owens.

That stinks to high, high heaven.

That song got played on a lot of MOR stations.

But what I really got over to this topic for was to say how much, on this version of MG, that I don't miss a constant whining that scrobbling to last.fm isn't working, or it missed a song, or whatever the minor mishap was that day. We're all entitled to our obsessions but I couldn't empathize with that one.

The Beatles’ Abbey Road album photo shoot. Photographer: Iain MacMillan (friend of John & Yoko). Friday 8th August 1969.
Photo 1: 11.30am. Paul wearing sandals. Mystery man on the right. Paul & George a bit out of step.

 

[Nickyboy]

Photo 2: 11.32am. Paul still wearing sandals. Going east to west.

 

[Nickyboy]

Photo 3: 11.34am. Paul has taken his sandals off. Black cab & London bus have appeared. George slightly out of sync.

 

[Nickyboy]

Photo 4: 11.36am. Maybe the same bus as photo 3. Man in white shirt striding purposefully towards the crossing. Good, but Paul a bit ‘static’.

 

[Nickyboy]

Photo 5: 11.38am. This is the one. Police van has turned up, mystery man on the right & three decorators in the background. Beatles’ nicely in step.
