I'm no great believer in life targets, objectives, New Year's Resolutions, etc., but one thing I did get round to doing last weekend was finally make good on a promise to myself to reactivate my music blog thatmusiclist.blogspot.com after a hiatus of seven and three quarter years. Enjoy.

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”

This is why I'm alive
Last night's popshow was an affirmation of all that is vital and joyous about coming together in a safe non-commercial space to enjoy the company of other humans and ace music made by humans for the sheer holy fun of creating and performing.

A not fully-worked through thought: if you accept that capitalism works by enclosing what was held in common, and turning that into exploitable property rights, what we're seeing with generative AI right now is an attempt to enclose the human imagination.
