“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
Shoot! Yet another LP/Album once owned but now lost in multiple M.F.O. box multiple travels. When we moved from Co. Antrim, Ulster to Gibraltar , the powers that be decided to save money and move ALL our belongings by container ship. It took 6 weeks! The freaking Vikings took less time to get from Norway […]
A bunch of ne’re-do-wells got a break from working (sometimes) 20 hours a day in a dangerous environment. We all piled on a bus that took us from Londonderry to Larne. On a ferry from Larne to Stranraer. (Barf?) Back on a bus from Stranraer to Stirling – where the Lowlands meet the Highlands. A […]
OMD…Some days I LOVE yt. The next song after Soft Cell was this. Tubeway Army. FFluffSake. One of my closest school friends persuaded her parentals to hand over the house to US lot for her birthday party. Gary Numan was played quite a lot. Along with the Mamas and the Papas. Aha…….that was a sneaky/sly […]
Oh My Dog! Listening to the last video…I can still remember the lyrics. Even though I lost my album decades ago. This was always one of MY fave songs. Forever Autumn.
Eldest and I were talking in the car this morning about our old house and the day we moved in. He has a musician’s soul and said “It was 1999 wasn’t it? I remember the music of that time.“ It was the 1st of September 1999. Me and the boys left Wiltshire at 4am to […]
I’ve ignored this song too long. Now I’m getting synchronicities out the wasu! The nightingale has a long history with symbolic associations ranging from “creativity, the muse, nature’s purity, and, in Western spiritual tradition, virtue and goodness.” Coleridge and Wordsworth saw the nightingale more as an instance of natural poetic creation: the nightingale became a voice of nature. As a teenager I walked through Berkeley […]
This morning I un-subbed from the LAST yt “Truther” channel that I’ve been subbed to for the past two years. I have CUT IT OUT aka ME, MYSELF & I from the BS. Or is that from Me Annoying Everyone Else ? Anywoo – I feel GOOD. #Free :o)
I will NOT apologise for being given this video right below the last video. WHY? P.S. If you watch the Who Do You Think You Are episode about Annie Lennox…you’ll see that she is also a Scottish peasant who came from the slums (?)
Whenever my school mates and I were bored and/or unwatched (!) we’d take over the record player in the music room and play (max vol) eeerm…..records. Usually punk but also other LP’s or singles that we’d stolen (nope. borrowed) from our parentals. I remember this song. From that time :o) Fanfare for The Common Man/Woman/Child […]
