This week saw the release of PSBs so-called sophomore release, The Race for Space.
An ambitious record, which comes in a gatefold sleeve, featuring alternative front covers, one for the USA and the other for CCCP space programs.
I might suggest, the perfect alternative soundtrack if you watch BBC4's Cosmonauts on the i player.

The Shukhov radio tower, also known as the Shabolovka tower is a broadcasting tower in Moscow designed by Vladimir Shukhov. The 160-metre-high free-standing steel structure was built in 1919–1922 during the Russian Civil War. It is a hyperboloid structure (hyperbolic steel gridshell). The tower is located a few kilometers south of the Moscow Kremlin, but is not accessible to tourists. The street address of the tower is "Shabolovka Street, 37", hence the tower's informal name. Due to its lattice structure, the steel shell of Shukhov Tower in Shabolovka experiences minimum wind load, which is the main hazard for high-rising buildings. The tower sections are single-cavity hyperboloids of rotation made of straight beams, the ends of which rest against circular foundations.

1. I am thankful for getting better at respecting my own time. I had a cancelled appointment this morning but already had stuff in my queue with which to do! :) It also makes me limit time I spend on tasks which significantly increases my ability to focus. What tactics do you use to respect your own time? Enquiring minds want to know!! ;)
2. I am thankful for the time I spend by myself. Spending time by myself means not having to explain myself when I blurt out, “It’s a BOOLEAN!” while doing the supper dishes! :) What idiosyncrasies do you have when you are alone? :)
3. I am thankful for finishing, framing, photographing and wrapping a piece on Tuesday.
4. I am thankful for identifying that one thing that holds me back from Biggification and allowing people any opportunity to enjoy my art is that I feel anxious about getting too wrapped up in Biggification that I could/would get sick .. and umm I can’t even say it .. about my transplant. This allowed me to put health in the forefront of my personal manifesto which currently consists of three words ( / Gratitude / make art / health / ) in a circle with two-way arrows. Identifying the elephant in the room has been refreshing. :)
5. I am thankful for reminding myself why I write the thankful lists! To remind myself that I do have (and maybe am much) to be thankful for. Gratitude lists also distract me when I become too enthralled with my own belly button lint.
6. I am thankful that you can never step into the same river twice.
7. I am thankful for finding more excuses to walk and smile - often at the same time! ;)
8. I am really thankful for beautiful writing books with unassuming black covers and smooth unlined paper that I can write and draw on with lovely felt pens that are able to last much longer. Do you have a favourite place and/or way to write? :)
9. I am thankful for Lindsay recommending Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia. It has some lovely kernels of wisdom that I identify with AND, like every really good book, it made me laugh, cry and think! :) What really great books have you read? What drew you to the book?
10. I am seriously thankful for the people that blog what they need to communicate (their art) accessibly and are finding sustainable ways to help other people make their own art. Without their help I don’t know that I would have re-started making my own art, continued practising making photos or written anything publicly. They demonstrate that you can make your art, whatever that is, you can find a way. It can take LOT of work but it can be done!! :)
11. I am thankful for people (OK! it was one person!) that sent me stuff like this art making video and this letter to The Kidbecause it made me feel better and inspired me. (They also made me cry dang it.) I am thankful for posting a link to an audio file that helped some people feel better. :) What were you able to do to help someone feel (even) better? Did someone do something that made you feel better (even) better? What was it, did you let the person(s) know?
Thank you for reading. If you don’t feel like leaving a comment to answer any or all of the questions feel free to send a telepathic message, I believe my receptor should be up and running again! ;)

The BBC is a national institution and provides probably the worlds best public television and radio service. The online services is excellent also. That said, the BBC has come under a lot of criticism lately over variety of issues. The balance between being independent from government whilst providing an appropriate service to the license fee payer has always been difficult and is under even greater scrutiny today.
Broadcasting House is one of the original buildings, but has recently been sold.

Broadcasting tower is a new high-rise student accommodation building in Leeds city centre. One of its most interesting features is the COR-TEN cladding, which, upon exposure to weather, develops a rust-like layer, protecting it from any more corrosion.
Most of the people I know are not very fond of how the tower looks, but it's hard to deny that its interesting facade and unusual angular shapes make it a very suitable object for photography :)
Had to get REALLY low for this shot, see the previous photo in the photostream ;)

Sitting at the helm of MTV Europe, this desk deals with satellite uplinks responsible for piping television to screens across the continent. Displayed here are video feeds from the Hotbird and Astra satellite grids, among others. These control suites are the brains of a modern behemoth; awesomely connected steering wheels of the high-technologies which tirelessly keep the worldwide transmitters on-air around the clock.

Fifty years ago today, to the day and to the time, Monday August 14th, 1967, from 3pm in the afternoon, almost all the Pirate Radio Stations, bar one, closed down, one or two had already gone on that day and all the others had gone by midnight. Radio London, 266m, closed at 3pm on that afternoon and I was sat listening in the 'studio' at 'Radio Caroline West', more on this later, as Paul Kay one of the 'Big L' disc jockeys proclaimed 'Big L time is three o'clock and Radio London is now closing down'. The weather forecast just before this was also delivered by Paul Kaye, '... there will be fresh southerly winds and there is an unsettled outlook for tomorrow'; very prosaic.

Radio Caroline flouted d the new law which came into force at midnight on this day in 1967 and chose to isolate themselves from the UK which meant the DJ's couldn't come back here and advertising revenue and supplies had to be sought from abroad. American, 'Billy Graham' type religious programmes were a vital mainstay to keep the finances coming in to operate the MV Mi Amigo, Caroline's southern ship anchored off Walton-on-the-Naze/Clacton in the Thames Estuary and Radio Caroline North, the MV Frederica anchored in Ramsey Bay off the Isle of Man. Today, Monday 14th 2017, Manx Radio on 1368kHz medium wave are hosting a 5-day extravaganza along with Radio Caroline which is now aboard the ship MV Ross Revenge and anchored on the River Blackwater in Essex and is back on the air again, see-
www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#home.html
they are playing music from the era and have to say that not all of it is good! According to the schedule, there is a commemorative program starting at 14:00hrs BST - 'Live from the Ross Revenge' and there are other features as well during the 5-day remembrance programming. A a small tribute to 'Caroline', Ronan O'Rahilly's pirate radio ship and after Radio Atlanta, was the 1st fully successful off-shore, i.e. in International waters beyond the 3 mile limit of the UK authorities.
The three sets of mosaic pictures shown here are from my archives from 1966-1968, when I was an avid pirate radio fan and listened to them all, a full list of these is, along with other details, is given in the last, 3rd, set of pictures along with a news clipping regarding why the then postmaster general, Ted Short, under the labour governments telecommunications minister, Anthony Wedgwood Benn, had decided to close the station down. This 1st set of 5 pictures shows the covers from the 3 books which were purchased in August 1967, 'Radio Caroline', by John Venmore Roland, Paul Harris's book, 'When Pirates Ruled the Waves' published in 1968 and Adrian Johns 'Death of a Pirate', published in 2011. All very well written and all give varying accounts of the different facets of the era; the last 'Death of a Pirate', probably the most useful history of it all, well after its 'heyday'. At lower right, own up time. Being a bit of a whizz with electronics, something which has stood me in good stead over the years, particularly in my last job at the Australian National University, a couple of pictures, the only two, of my radio studio at my parent house in Rotherham, in 1966. Those were the days of the 'Practicals' - Wireless and Electronics, and TV followed as well. So, building a low power transmitter and obtained a crystal to operate on medium wave, yikes!, the crude and dated setup was used to broadcast music in about a 1 mile radius of the transmitter; a pole sat atop a flat-roofed bungalow, now, since 2013, sadly demolished and also 50 years since its construction by 'Fred Moncaster, my grandfather the builder and featured here a short time ago, see-

the name was chosen, craftily, so the existing Carline North or South radio 'jingles' could be used which were recorded onto magnetic tape using the Grunding TK20 tape recorder. The 'studio' was equipped with a 'transcription unit' as they were called by professionals, this one was lifted out of a 'Dansette record player' which at this time had become a less useful piece of domestic family equipment! To the left of the Grunding tape machine a home-made 4-channel mixing console with master fader, bass and tone controls. Announcements were made on a cheap Sennheiser microphone supported by an extendable rod clamped to a lab retort stand with 2 large, weighty, circular TV magnets on the stands base to stop it toppling over! Behind the microphone, a valve amplifier for the microphone. Out of shot to the left, beyond the LP cover and a picture of my future wife!, the homemade transmitter built bread-board style with the crystal tuned to around 227m if memory serves correctly. The LP covers on display, of course no CDs or MP3s, were Bernstein's version of '2001 A Space Odyssey' at the back above the tape machine and poking from under it, 'Disraeli Gears' by Cream, behind the microphone, the Incredible String Band's 'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter' and over on the left, 'On the Threshold of a Dream', by the Moody Blues... not a bad set from 1967! The state of the 'studio furnishings' is clear to see! at lower right, the DJ himself in residence, there were two of us, the other, an old school chum, Mike Taylor who had the 'Saturday morning slot'. Head phones and speaking live from Caroline West, 'Grant Walker', think this IS too much information, the name chosen to again reflect the name of one of Caroline South's DJs, Johnnie Walker, and still going, though now on BBC Radio Two. Here the DJ can be seen cueing up a piece on the tape deck, probably recorded from the BBC afternoon pop programme presented by 'Fluff', Alan Freeman, 'Pick Of The Pops', and the stuff recorded in lively fashion to avoid any over-voicing or 'Fluff' coming in before the end what was usually no more than 2-2.5 minutes of music; John Peel's 'Top Gear' programme, from 3-5pm, the two hour slot just before 'Pick of the Pops', was a completely different matter in terms of the length of the music he played. In front of the woollen jumpered DJ, no central heating or double-glazing in those days, the Grunding microphone is in action as well as the 'studio mike' and in between the two LP covers seen earlier is a copy of Bob Dylan's 'Greatest Hits'... What more can I say... Guilty!
From May 1956 until recently, this was the beating heart of regional telly in this part of the North West on the ITV network, but now all that has been transferred to the characterless and frankly unprepossessing Media City on the other side of the Irwell in Salford Quays. This was Quay Street Studios, home to a television station named by founder Leonard Bernstein after his favourite place - the Sierra Granada mountain range in the Andalusia region (pronounced 'Andaloothia') of Spain.
"What Manchester sees today London will see tomorrow" was his proud boast in the year when Britain and France invaded Suez, only for America to tell them to get out of there. Because it wasn't a war they started, they had to get jealous but I digress.
This was also where Richard Madeley (big, BIG fan of Tesco!) met Judy Finnegan who cheerfully told him on his first day at the station back in 1982 that she 'was his mummy' and, let's face it, the years haven't exactly been kind to her!
Of course, I should really have taken a few photos of this in the past when it was an active TV studios but From May 1956 until recently, this was the beating heart of regional telly in this part of the North West on the ITV network, but now all that has been transferred to the characterless and frankly unprepossessing Media City on the other side of the Irwell in Salford Quays a venue shared by the BBC, who also broadcast from the iconic (and should never have been closed) Television Centre. Anyway. this was Quay Street Studios, home to a television station named by founder Leonard Bernstein after his favourite place - the Sierra Granada mountain range in the Andalusia region (pronounced 'Andaloothia') of Spain.

Of course, I should really have taken a few photos of this in the past when it was an active TV studios but what spurred me into action was Peter Kay's tribute to the station Goodbye Granadaland and that was a week before I took these shots. Why a week you may ask? Well, because I forgot to charge my camera battery the night before I first went (June 16), I had to make do with the camera on an old mobile phone. I only took a few photos with that because I was used to MY camera. Anyway, long story short, as soon as I got home that day, I put the battery on charge and it was ready the following week. When taking this shot of the main entrance (for those driving in) on Quay Street itself, I flirted with death a bit because I wanted to get a decent shot and the only way of doing that is to stand in the road...luckily Quay Street isn't that busy! Not just that, but you can just about make out (through the ivy) where the letters 'Granada TV' would have been. Presumably someone with a fucking great big van has liberated these, either that or they're in some museum.
Oh yeah, you may be wondering how the title came about. Well, years ago when the telly started at half nine in the am, they were the words you would have heard uttered in the dulcet tones of Graham James or whoever was announcer that day.
Showing my age, aren't I? But hey, I don't give a fuck!

See where this picture was taken. [?]
Built for R B Orchard watchmaker and jeweller and politician, in 1910-1911 after Orchard's original premises were demolished to make way for the extension of Quay Street through to George Street.
Orchard was a Sydney personality, racing 18 footers on Sydney Harbour, acting in amateur musical and dramatic productions for charity. He served as President of the Cornish Association of NSW, was President of the NSW Watchmakers and Jewellers Association, and was a founding Commissioner of the Australian Broadcasting Commission.
His building on the corner of George and Quay Streets provided premises for the Carcase Butchers Assn, the Amalgamated Railways and Tramways Assn and the NSW Master Hairdressers and Tobacconists Assn.
Orchard's own showroom occupied the ground floor and his workshop was on the fifth. The company logo, an orchard tree, prominent on the corner of the building, included a clock which was inscribed with the slogan "Orchard's: where the watches grow" while the top of the tower carried the words "Orchard's Corner."
The architect of Orchard's Chambers, Ernest Lindsay Thompson, was a Sydney city alderman for 27 years and a prominent city architect for 40 years, responsible for the design of numerous buildings throughout the city.
