Snowbound

Phoned Mum yesterday who reported a thick blanket of snow in Hyde for Easter. It didn't look particularly snowy at Old Trafford on tv yesterday, where Liverpool got buried by something else - partly their own stupidity. I mean, hands up, is there anyone out there who didn't know Mascherano was going to get himself booked a good fifteen seconds at least before he did so?

For lovers of good music: there's a gorgeous track on Donald Fagen's solo album Kamakiriad entitled Snowbound, a piece he wrote with Walter Becker and featuring Becker playing all over it (some sensational bass) which really makes it a Steely Dan song in all but name. I think it's better than anything on the two (great) Dan albums which came after, which is a measure of just how good it is.
