not a cappella - but it could be, easily, and I almost wish it was, as sprightly as the accompaniment is "my heart was light as any feather"

More from Ms Tabor - a story song, and based on a true story, about an actual racing pigeon - reminds me of the Ken Loach movie Kes

My eldest has done the historical backfilling in the past, but currently seems to be entirely about the current music moment - the latest nano-genre. The younger kid is much more atemporal - so a playlist will move between some current indie-ish singer-songwriter thing to Nick Drake and back...

where the two kids's taste converges and we have intra-family consensus on that one - gorgeous stuff

now this (via the other kid again, the younger one) i really like

whereas the other kid is into this kind of thing feeble little horse seems like some kind of ultimate indie name, but then another ultimate indie name will be along in a minute

Or even what your kids are into, if you have any exhibit A "so sweet like a Mellotron"

C'mon then everyone else, I want to see the crew. It's about time.

That pic of me is a bit old - there's a few more pounds settled and the hair is greyer.

That's not even a great photo of Barty. When I first met him I exclaimed "you look like a drawing of a boy" - meaning, like an idealized archetype, or perhaps even one of those Letraset / transfer sheet figures, the outlines of a young man at a party. Then a few years later he went from...

Our founder. (Or co-founder) That's the Ganges, right?

I heard this on a pirate and I remember the DJ prefaced it by explaining that the title "Eye Memory" came from the belief that if you looked a dolphin in the eyes it would never forget you. An incongruously David Attenborough-ish moment in a medium normally known for big shouts to the red-eye...

Struck me that there is a distinction between people who are into dance music meaning music that is designed primarily for dancing to, and people who dance to the music they like So for instance, take the historical (possibly ongoing, I wouldn't know) phenomenon of the student indie-disco -...

more like, keep an eye on this one, could reach the level of annoying / cancellable at some point like i dunno 10 years ago "iconic" would have been in that category of "watch out, it's on the rise" - then there was a long period of it being eminently cancellable, over-used and omnipresent and...

here's one my 23 year old kid alerted me to - "lore" started in games and role-play and fantasy type stuff - the rules and preconditions and back-story involved in world-building but seems to be drifting out to have other applications, particularly in music

"main character energy" and "hero ingredient" are a couple of recent ones I've noticed getting used a lot

I don't think it necessarily needs to be cancelled but I have noticed this use of the word "across" - bureaucratic / business world / governmental lingo for being on top of a problem or some bit of implementation that needs doing. "It's okay, Julian's across this". "Guys, we need to be across...

The first always underlies the second, doesn't it? The second masks the first. The contingent and particular (perhaps even somatic) attempting to universalize itself and root in purportedly objective conditions and rules...
