Today was yet another day for laughing mirthlessly at our leaders’ lies while the world’s climate rebels against us all.
Good Sounds: OTT – Skylon
I know pretty well nothing about the artist, and calling the album ‘ambient dub’ means nothing to me either. But I’m happy hearing this. Interesting and inventive enough without being an aural nag.
Good Sounds: Djivan Gasparyan & Michael Brook – Black Rock
Refreshingly different (to my ears). I can’t remember where I first came across Djivan Gasparyan. I was led to Michael Brook via his ‘Hybrid’ album with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.
Good Sounds: Chalawa – Fire Dub
Some easy-to-listen-to, accessible dub. I’d say it’s particularly good for a summer day. With Sly and Robbie and ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace on board.
If Liberalism Is Obsolete …
Today was the day I wondered what will happen if liberalism is ‘obsolete’. The track record for the alternatives is dismal. And I know enough to know that first you have to question the motives behind the opinion. Who’s gaining?
