Song I’m writing about getting old:
Watching The Fire Out

Hi there x

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better?
This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

It’s all making sense now 🙁

Is this true of here?

Over 1,000 joined together to block the strand today outside the RCJ including @jonathanpienews.bsky.social & Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall .

We will not be swayed by the extreme sentences handed down to those peaceful protestors sounding the alarm on climate collapse – justice for the #LordWalney16

@bbc5live.bsky.social wonderful interview with @whisperingbob.bsky.social
Interesting you both question why protest songs are not as prominent anymore as in the 70’s? Personally, that’s my bread and butter but I feel like the radio DJs are just not interested - like we’re being shut down!

‘about the subjection of women through the ages. It’s a big subject, handled with defiance rather than pessimism, helped by a dose of ironic humour. A lively tune has a Sixties feel and Emma joined by three guest backing vocalists for a complex vocal arrangement’ folking.com

BUTTERFLY: a meditation on re-incarnation that embraces Edd’s love of diverse song topics. Ever hungry to locate the right audio environment for a tune, this one even opens the door marked ‘freak folk’. Suddenly it’s all Incredible String Band whooping and 1969 Bowie descending countdowns.

Wonderful x

lnk.to/AnchovyEddDo... ‘Donovan isn’t afraid of a melody but don’t be thinking that this is Easy Listening; yet there are some brave presenters out there: radio 6 who still occasionally play songs like these after dark, when the hierarchy has all gone 🏠

‘If like me you are coming in fresh at album number four, there is a real feeling that you have missed out on the earlier releases - The spirit of The Incredible String Band or Coffee Shop era Simon and Garfunkel flows brimming over with life and positivity’

Oh my God, does it take a spiritual leap of faith to get your soul across…
