silence is golden
chain smoking my way through a large carton of filter plus marlboro lights whilst sat on the balcony. feeling alive for the first time in days. i am finally acclimatizing just as there are only 3 sleeps left until hometime. i shall be glad though. home to my projector and my friends and earl grey tea and swearing.

(all i ever wanted, all i ever needed, is here, well, there. for a week or so till i get bored and go off somewhere else)

LOVE
Late sixties group 'Love' fell apart in the early 70s, but wow did they make some fine music.
One of the first racially diverse groups, their music reflected different influences with rock and roll, prog rock, garage and psychadelia all represented. Signed to Elektra in 1966, the band scored a minor hit with Burt Bacharach's 'Little Red Book' and released their debut eponymous album that same year.
My Little Red Book
Their musical reputation largely rests on their 2 1967 albums, Da Capo and Forever Changes.
More popular in the UK than their USA home in 1968 Bryan MacLean (second songwriter and guitarist) left the band, suffering from heroin addiction as did all the members of the band (2 of which were also suffering from the same abuses) except Arthur Lee (singer, songwriter and guitarist) who convened a new line up and continued as 'Love'. 3 albums followed before a solo album by Arthur Lee.
Being abroad with no wireless (24 hour electricity isn't available for a start) I am unable to extend on the information. Have a listen and see what you think if you don't know it already. I love love, do you? From Forever Changes then...

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Hot flushes then cold flushes when oh when will I be well again?
On the subject of temperature, released late 1967 this was the only song to chart for New Jersey band 'The Balloon Farm'
Mike Appel, guitarist and songwriter from Balloon Farm did much better later on when he started managing Bruce Springsteen.
