When you sleep, do you have dreams?
Read a short article about Bettye this morning. What a life, what a woman, and what an amazing soul voice. And she’s still got it aged 74. I saw her once on the Renfrew Ferry and felt ALL the emotions. She’s tiny, whip thin and fierce. I LOVE HER.
Cannot resist the music of Mali and it’s been great to hear Fatoumata Diawara on the radio in the mornings rather than lurking in the weirder corners of the station. You smiling yet? Dancing?
A bit of fun – I had my hair cut today, and prior to the chop I felt I was looking more and more like an Einstein-like boffin caricature. This was buy theme song for the past couple of weeks!
The best ever Glastonbury set is on iPlayer for the next month and you must watch it. I am psyching up with some later Janelle, but not spoiling myself for The ArchAndroid.
Ghetto Woman got me dancing like a maniac, so thought I’d share.
I feel like when I was listening to music like this back in the day there was some hope that ‘someday we’ll live as one family in sweet harmony’.
Keeping that hope alive.

Prince’s birthday. And a great video from Spike Lee
Sadly still relevant 30 years on.
We are the fortunate ones who get to be whole again.
I’ve just finished watching Devs (with Nick Offerman – you should watch it), and this haunting song has infused my being with calm and weirdness. That discordant chord is everything. Everything.
It’s International Women’s Day, and Ivor Cutler’s song is always what I think of on this day.
Women of the world, take over
Cause if you don’t, the world will come to an end
And we haven’t got long.
