I'll check it out. There's no amount of Velvets trivia that I won't consume.
Can totally relate.
In other news: I made some gooseberry jam this year. It came out very good and not too sweet
Although, every time I ask myself about where I am, and when I’m drawn to the melancholy of the past I realise that the time moves on, wherever one is. In fact, the time has moved on quicker where I come from than where I find myself today. I suppose there’s no going back, other than by the power of jam on a slice of sourdough.
You and Marcel both my friend...
In the early days, when they thought this epidemic was much like other epidemics, religion held its ground. but once these people realized their instant peril, they gave their thoughts to pleasure. and all the hideous fears that stamp their faces in the daytime are transformed in the fiery, dusty nightfall into a sort of hectic exaltation, an unkempt freedom fevering in their blood. (Albert Camus)

Interesting, especially if you're fond of the T-34-85 Soviet tank (and/or Alexei Sayle)...
Interesting, especially if you're fond of Bonnie "Prince" Billy and/or Bill Callahan...
Interesting, especially if you're fond of Billy Bragg and/or mushroom biryanis...
🤣 That's one hell of a promo picture
It's grim up north...
@d4d0ug this is indeed more logical (and optimistic) than all of that put on the table by the British Government currently so I say Vote Mookie!
Interesting, especially if you're fond of Basbeball, need a good night's sleep, or are looking for something leftfield to sample...
Just reread this vignette from Pete Agnew (Nazareth) about 'This Fight Tonight' and (of course) Joni Mitchell, who comes out of the anecdote pretty damn well. The whole piece in the New York Times is well done (and nicely designed) if'n you haven't given it ten minutes of your time yet:
PETE AGNEW (musician, Nazareth): When “Ladies of the Canyon” came out, “Rainy Night House” was one of our favorite songs of all time. People kept saying “the heavy metal band Nazareth,” and we were going, “have you actually heard us?” We used to listen to all sorts of stuff, and most of the things we listened to we probably ended up covering. We always stole from really good people. When we did “This Flight Tonight,” it was just a beauty, you could make it totally different. At first we were being funny about it, but then we thought, this sounds great, this could be a killer track. It became one of the biggest hits that we ever had.
We were at the beginning of an American tour, and we went into A&M Records in L.A. and were telling them that we were releasing “This Flight Tonight” in the U.K. that day. They said, “Oh, well that’s good because Joni’s in the studio right now, would you like to go and say hello?” So we said to her, “We’re just releasing your song.” And she said, “With a rock band?” And we went, “Yeah, would you like to hear it?”
It sounded amazing, because it was in the studio. She and Henry [Lewy, the engineer] were absolutely tickled, you could tell they weren’t just being polite. She made us a cup of tea, and we sat around for a wee while, and away we went. The next year, one of the guys from the record company in London came up to see us and said, “You’re going to love this, I went to see Joni Mitchell at the New Victoria Theater, and she said, ‘I’d like to open with a Nazareth tune.’” Tell that to your grandchildren! It was such a great nod to get from such a wonderful woman.
A lot of it feels pretty arch, but there's some good insight into writing/music:

Fantastic, I love this sort of thing. Puts all the nagging, whiney feature requests on the sparkly new iOS apps into perspective.
Ha yes that puts our “issues” into perspective!

The McNamara Fallacy: choosing whether or not to do something solely based on statistics, and ignoring non-quantifiable confounding factors. It is named for US Defense Secretary Robert McNamara's assumption that a greater personnel count would have lead the US to victory against Vietnam.
I love Primo Levi.
