At the time, I wrote 'The best photograph Dad has ever taken' on the back of this one.

Photographs and Memories #2
Dad had a good eye for a photo opportunity and, in the 1960s at least, owned a reasonably good camera. He felt that he couldn't justify the expense thereafter and made do with a series of cheap and cheerful point and press cameras for the rest of his life. Here are a couple of his snapshots from our travels in the 1960s.

Local Natives
It's been a very long time coming, but the
new Local Natives album, 'Hummingbird', is
almost with us. The Los Angeles band's
brilliant debut LP, 'Gorilla Manor',
appeared in the UK way back in November
2009, a full four months before it's American release.
I saw Local Natives live in early 2010 when their Californian harmonies, rhythmic attack, bristling moustaches and all-round good-eggedness, effortlessly won over an initially sceptical, sparsely populated audience. Since then they have toured relentlessly, lost their original bassist and finally readied album number two.
Here are a couple of choice cuts from album number one.
