Day 30: FREE CHOICE DAY!

I choose to be very literal...

Little Simz - Free

#MusicChallenge #MusicSky

Why not just put "for example" in the footnote?? What an odd way of writing

Yep, this is me - it's great sometimes, not so much when you work with young people and try to impose any kind of authority!

#DavidsMonthOfMusic

Day 29: about war or peace

Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding

#MusicChallenge #MusicSky

#DavidsMonthOfMusic

Day 28: a B-side or bonus track

Day 24: with "can" or "can't" in the title

Buzzcocks - Why Can't I Touch It?

#MusicChallenge #MusicSky

This is very true - people will sometimes claim they're "just being honest" by saying something hurtful, despite the fact that there's nothing dishonest about just not saying anything!

As a bonus, here's what I had lined up for today beforehand...

Joni Mitchell - Hejira
