Fly
YouTube video by Kristin Hersh - Topic Fly

I only recently found out that one of my favourite singers, @kristinhersh.bsky.social covered my favourite Nick Drake song, "Fly" for a compilation in 2014. This is so beautiful and so real. It makes me cry.

I was co-writing a fanzine at the time. Beggars Banquet sent me this free in the post. I played it once and gave it away to a mate who was a fan - I gave it to him before the release date!

I've only just discovered that you covered another of my favourite songs - "Fly" by Nick Drake. Just heard it for the first time. I feel quite emotional. Thank u.

Sad to hear the news of the passing of Bud Cort. "Harold And Maude" is my favourite film of all time. I know Vic was a fan as he quoted it in the song "Parade" - and your cover of Cat Stevens' "Trouble" was a beautiful homage. This is a film where all the devotees are kindred spirits. Lotsaluv xxx

Changed mine to Bonnie Tyler's. I kept getting lost in France because it kept telling me to turn around and every now and then it fell apart.

George Orwell's quote - "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears" - is gaining a lot of traffic online. What he didn't predict is that we now have AI - a technology that makes us all doubt the evidence of our eyes and ears. This is the modern world - and I fucking hate it.

As we get older memories fade and part of it is misremembering the date. Like - when did I take my first driving test - 1985 or 1986? Or your first gig - you'd swear it was 1978 but it was 1979. Or when Trump says the election was fixed - he'd swear blind it was 2020 when in fact it was 2024.

2/2 - She said she normally saw children who were a little behind in their development, but I was the first who was way ahead in areas and way behind in others. Other aspects of my behaviour then and now have been mooted as mild autism. It existed in the 70s but they didn't know what it was.

When I was 4 I had the reading age of a 12 year old - but there were other aspects of me that were far behind. Every Monday afternoon when I was 6 I took Mondays off to see a child psychologist. This was 1973. 1/2

I've just been to Deptford Lounge to see the debut of a rare 60 minute version of Metropolis - with a live soundtrack by @audioobscura.bsky.social . This is being released on DVD next week on Bandcamp. This is astounding!
