Day 5: A Song You Wish Was Longer
Scottish band Gun released 'Falling' in 2024. It's a great track that rattles along, but just as it hits the big final solo it gets faded out ... very frustrating

A truly hideous right wing smear campaign against these six activists for exercising their free speech rights to protest - and confronted with the evidence all six have been acquitted.

The Independent. Kate Nash tells MPs post-Brexit rules have made touring financially unviable. 3 February.
The musician told MPs she lost ยฃ26,000 on her last European tour, and that paperwork and red tape are making touring there increasingly unviable. This is the cost of Brexit - talented musicians are being priced off the world stage, and the UK risks shrinking its global reputation in music.

Day 4: A song with the number four in the title
i/o by Peter Gabriel was a bit of a strange album IMHO. Starts off brilliant & then tails away by the last few tracks. This song is excellent however - 'Four Kinds of Horses'

A lady has climbed up the side of a Bruce anchor situated on the quayside in Douglas. The Bruce Anchor is installed close to the Millennium Lifting Bridge at the entrance to the Douglas inner harbour marina. This anchor was donated in 2000 by Bruce Anchor Limited and Shell UK Exploration and Production to the Manx Department of Transport as a symbol of the Isle of Manโs maritime heritage. Bruce Anchor Limited which is based in Cronkbourne designed the 6.5-ton anchor for use in the off-shore oil industry.
The text displayed on the side of the anchor reads "Bruce Anchor 6350 Kg"
