I am always late but I would still like to extend my late birthday wishes to Nicky. Hope he had a great day. :heart:

It was snowing a few days ago. I was listening to 4st 7lb while walking in the snow. ...and leaving footprints.

The EMG survivor poll reminds of how cheated I generally feel by covers, in comparison to new material (i.e. b-sides).
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of decent covers (Red Sleeping Beauty, We Are All Bourgeois Now, The Drowners, Wrote For Luck...) but do people really want covers ahead of new songs? |
Im nit fond of covers either.

Very rarely listen to Masses with it not being on a standard studio album. Grabbed one of me copies of Know Your Enemy to stick on, ended up being the Australian one with it on and hearing it now has reminded me of how I felt first time hearing it.
Is it just me or is that "A slave begins be demanding justice, ends by wanting to wear a crown" line a bit Daily Mail? I know it's Camus, but they've used it to end a song called The Masses Against The Classes. Today, it makes me think of some of the attitudes people have towards victims. We read it all with Yewtree, we're seeing it with Weinstein etc, alleged victims are only coming forward for the attention. The victim is undermined to the extent that people are more focussed on their motives for coming forward now (why not then?), than on what the alleged perpetrators are supposed to have done. Do the survivors of Grenfell, the families of Hillsborough etc deserve compensation? - fine, we'll accept responsibility, but don't push it. "A slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown" is something I could imagine Katie Hopkins saying, if she were eloquent enough. |

So, different meaning imo. |
Tomorrow is a poetry night with the theme of "My Queen". Got my pieces ready. They were looking for songs for the playlist.
"REPEAT" ah, first thought! But it's a public place etc. "WE HER MAJESTY'S PRISONERS" ah, again that "Ceremonial rape machine" bit might be offensive to some women there. So it's "Royal Correspondent" that managed to make it into the playlist. Every month I try and get a Manics song selected. Every. Month. Finally broke through! And for a bonus I got Queen's "March Of The Black Queen" AND "Kings And Queens" by Soft Machine as well. Three song choices of mine made it to the playlist! Probably isn't going to happen again for a million years. (And even more off-topic, whereas most music is built around the drums, "Kings And Queens" is built around a bassline as Robert Wyatt and company melt around it. Jazz Rock is awesome you guys!!!) |
