The Picture Gallery
I came across this today..... It's Gerome's 1896 painting of 'Truth Coming Out Of The Well Armed With Her Whip To Chastise Mankind' and exhibited in the Salon (and now in the Musee Anne de Boujou) Are the 'interpretations�…

....Apparently Roman raped many children, not just the one case that made the news. It makes you wonder about some artists and the real-life crimes they commit. It makes you wonder about separating the artist from the actual person. It is possible t…

Yes, the banks and financial industries could not possibly withstand any serious attempt to turn their notional capital into real things. Reading Picketty's 'Capital' was hard work in places, but one thing that was very clear was that…

This 'clean break' Brexit talk of Jacob Rees-Mogg and the rest of that crew is so cynical. It sounds kind of decisive and surgical. But the reality is that we are about to leap out of a metaphorical aircraft at 20,000 feet. Some of us are …

Much respect to the UTs for being decent human beings in times which often make that hard. And warm - if virtual - hugs from here to you, Kat. Looking forward to hearing more news x

Only one thing more nauseating than the visit of the Rapist-in-chief - the Tories queuing up to suck his tiny dick

NO MORE VINYL?!?!?!?! how hard can it be to repress the old albums? tbh i hope BMG or whoever license it out and convince them to duplicate it a la Felt Mountain's US release forcing their hand. Give the people what they want! Pretty disappoi…

Live chat stream thing on the GF Facebook earlier, with quite a few of us namechecked. She even read out my comment/question at the end "Good. I'm glad you thought that, got...that's nice...." Recording nuggets included; - ther…

Aw @Ponygurl - I knew you'd understand, lovely. I'm eating raspberries and cream and singing right now :) x

After a few weeks of high dose steroids, I've just taken my first 'proper' chemotherapy med. Like the day the love of your life leaves you, it's one of those times when you look out of the window at the people walking past and th…

I guess most pop musicians are going to get to a stage where they are mining increasingly thinner seams of creativity; I'm not sure I can think of any with the longevity of GF who continue to be as prolific in their later years. Having said tha…

Wonder what the perspective from the other side is - what do hardcore DM fans make of it?

Good on you. Paul Robeson had such a beautiful, rich voice. Hopefully, all will be OK but you need to stay positive. Keep us informed. I would send 'thoughts and prayers' but that would be hollow with my beliefs but I do believe in the pow…

Starting this week on some fairly drastic chemotherapy. Unfortunately, I have a variety of issues that may make it unusually risky, so I've had to do various "advance directives" etc. I've specified Chopin, Paul Robeson, "…

Goldfrapp/Dave Gahan collaboration on "Ocean"
The audio only is on Youtube. I'm surprised that it isn't a more radical remix - it simply seems like Dave Gahan singing the main vocal line

Conspiracy Theories
Well, this is not cheerful or light-hearted in any way. It's Noam Chomsky explaining why the US Republican Party is the most dangerous organisation in history, deliberately undermining any attempts to combat global warming because they can make…

All About Will
^My guess is that GF is much less important to Will than it is to Alison. After all, he's a very successful musician, and much more active and appreciated on the wider professional scene - his compositions are part of the contemporary repertoir…

Trying to keep upbeat - as of January 2018, there are now UK Beavers in the Forest of Dean, Knapdale, and Devon. Just to be clear - this is what I'm talking about

the homage thread? i can't find one.....
I know, I know. I trawled Youtube for recent covers, and that was the only one that wasn't just someone singing in their bedroom. On the plus side....ummm...I'm sure there's a plus side........

Sexy Women
All the most attractive women (and men) have courage. Here's one: Maria Perez, a Spanish anarchist who resisted the Franco-ist fascists over and over again, and in the end, was tortured and shot. But what a woman! I also have a bit of a thing…

Don’t you think there’s a concerted drive being lead by someone ( even my conspiratorial snout can’t sniff out who exactly) to desiccate society, pitting women against women, white against non-white and vv, “ indigenous” against migrants, North agai…

I walked into the kitchen this evening to see a Blackbird spatchcocked on the floor. I was berating the cat for his heartlessness as I bent to pick it up - only to find it was a black glove. So I spose there's a little nest of baby mittens go…
