‘Unstated’ and its offshoots. All sorts of things that are all about your world, one way or another. I hope you enjoy it.
What’s New: Relatable Deaths And More. A Rumination Update
Rumination has seen several more updates. As the focus is what people are thinking and feeling, inevitably Covid-19 looms large. But it’s not all negative! ‘We’re All The Same Really’ brings out some positives from the big change in our collective behaviour. Other musings include … (Read More)
What’s New: From Ends To Starts And More. A Getting Directions Update
Getting Directions continues to expand and evolve. Evolution includes the end of Part One and the start of Part Two – which were unplanned developments suggested by the content. The topics covered since the last round-up include now being able to forget (So, Wallop!) and … (Read More)
What’s New: When Will Normal Return? A Rumination Update
Rumination, the Unstated offshoot that launched recently, has now seen several updates over the last few weeks, covering a wide range of thoughts. Understandably, Covid-19 and its knock-ons for everyone have loomed large in people’s thoughts. The latest item was wondering when we’ll return to … (Read More)
What’s New: Love! A Getting Directions Update
Since the last mention here on this site, Getting Directions has seen a range of different items added, ranging from a photo gallery (‘The Time To Drift’) to an escape via colours (‘A Purple-Yellow Escape’). ‘Not In A Black Mood’ is a look at the … (Read More)
Alex Haas & Bill Laswell – Nowstalgia
This was a new discovery to me. While I’ve known of Bill Laswell’s work for years, I hadn’t come across Alex Haas before. This one was released in 2018 and seems to only be available via online streaming services and/or as an MP3 download. As … (Read More)
Rumination: People Chewing The Cud
(Why ‘Rumination’ came about.) Rumination is very much a product of an existing reality – the gap was there. The gap? Some people are naturally talkative, some are naturally good listeners. By chance, I happen to be a good listener. The gap was for a … (Read More)
What’s New: A Getting Directions Update
‘Muted, Nicely’ is a new item on the Getting Directions site, one of Unstated’s offshoots. With eight photos, it is a reflective piece about life sometimes having a muted focus – but that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. And that’s accompanied by some brief … (Read More)
Alabama 3 – Exile On Coldharbour Lane
I’ve been listening to the Alabama 3 since before their first album, this one, came out. Some of their albums are great, one or two – in my view – less so. But I’ve never regretted owning them. And this record, their first, seems to … (Read More)
What’s New: A Getting Directions Update
Another update for the Unstated offshoot Getting Directions. This one, slightly longer than most, tries to explore (to use an over-used word) and understand how to know and manage your emotional limits. In this entry it’s been applied, particularly, to an individual’s relationship with a … (Read More)
Julianna Barwick – The Magic Place
Well, as the name suggests – this strikes me as, well, quite magical. It’s very gentle but a long way from boring – slow moving music that’s relaxing but not soporific. (I’m also enjoying her 2019 EP, Circumstance Synthesis.) Her web site is here. There’s … (Read More)
