Today at the Vicarage : The Vicarage

Contrary to rumours, the "Vicar" has not "stripped for saucy calendar" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/2554403.stm), unlike Fripp's little horse, who recently graced the pages of the Daily Mail to celebrate the joys of the older woman. In fact, my main concern has been with acquiring, not dispensing, with clothing. My much loved collarless shirts are becoming harder to find.

Beyond that, I have done little more than draw great gulps of fresh autumnal air, while reeling at the enormity of the various e howlers that Fripp and Singleton have been dispatching in the direction of BMG. The language is strong at times, but, as a certain hellboy noted, "incompetence can be a deliberate act".

I have a copy of music week open in front of me, which boldly proclaims that "BMG promises contract revolution" designed for "greater clarity and simplicity". Rolf Schmidt Holtz says "We are committed to doing what we can to foster and maintain strong relations with our artists".

It would seem that one BMG artist is not convinced.
