Trump and Putin are world ruiners. That the diseased egos of such men, rise to the top of power, throughout history says much about a fatal flaw in our species. Humanity collectively produces monsters, and the work to prevent that isn't enough.

No one is going to give you the education to overthrow them.

As Burnham continues his centrist in disguise path as PM and is set to approve the pointless 2% Jackdaw oil field, here's a photo I took of Andy Burham in Nov 2016, speaking passionately at an anti fracking demo in Manchester. Politicians eh? #burnham #oil #climatecrisis #climatechange #fossilfuels

Spent the last few days listening to the four gospels of Mark Hollis and Talk Talk. A spiritual experience, in all truth, to the final silence. Inspired by @graemethomson.bsky.social new biography The Four Seasons of Talk Talk. Let him who has ears, hear what the Spirit says. #music #nowplaying

The 14th and final track on 'Though We Have Only Love - The Songs of Jacques Brel' is 'Though We Have Only Love' (Quand on n’a que l’amour) Released 1956. It's a manifesto of love's transformative power. Similar in intent to The Beatles 'All You Need Is Love'. #music #musicsky #nowplaying #poetry

Yeah that was based on Mort Shuman's lyrical take on Brel. It's a nice place to start but to get closer, the french lyrics need a revisit. What did Brel actually say? Our album is about bringing that out :)

Nick Drake left us 51 years ago today. Another poetic death OTD was the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos who died in 1951. Very different but I was spinning Nick whilst reading Sikelianos and it was alright. #poetry #lefkada #fiveleavesleft #music

10 years ago, myself and The Long Lost Band had the great privilege of being asked by Larry Beckett, to come up with the music for he and Tim Buckley's last song 'On The Hook'. youtu.be/AklkV-_JxwQ?... #timbuckley #music #musicsky #songs #alt #acoustic #folkrock #songwriter #sixties

Picture of last lyric written by Larry Beckett and given to Tim Buckley just before Tim's death in 1975. The lyric is in Tim's handwriting as Larry dictated it over the phone to him. The music never saw the light of day.
