Advantages: Fantastic music Disadvantages: Not a single one
Psychedelic Frequencies is probably one of my most favourite CDs of all times. It is a compilation of some of the best Psychedelic music that was ever created.
It starts off with the seminal work, "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. The soaring, sexually charged voice of Grace Slick on this song (which owes a great deal for its musical structure to Ravel's Bolero) is a definitive musical moment of the 1960s counter culture. (Oops, I think I went a bit OTT then!)
The second track, King Midas in Reverse, by The Hollies, has some exceptionally fine acoustic guitarwork. It tells the story of someone who is "King Midas with a curse, he's King Midas in reverse" The use of strings and orchestral instruments and tambourines adds greatly to this song.

Or so we thought! The composer had the unlikely name of Hal Hackaday. "In letters of gold on a snow white kite I will write I love you, and send it soaring high above you?"
Track 2 is something that ...
Do I recycle ? Yes
Do I do it well ? No
However I am trying my best and with each piece of recyclable rubbish I am learning.
Recycling seems to be all the rage, the in thing, one of many things you will be penalised for if you refuse to do it.
As speculation mounts regarding technology to monitor the contents of our bins perhaps its time to tackle the government head on and prove that we do not need a big brother society to make us recycle. The system is easy.
Recycling at home:
The symbol which accompanies this review guides the household on which items can or cannot be recycled. If they have the green arrows then put them in the green bin.
I have a habit of believing that plastic is plastic and therefore it is worthy of my recycling bin, I am wrong. SOME plastics belong in the real bin, the waste bin (as I found ...
