Aw, lovely story 👇
We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

A lot of what we think of as music is actually just gunk.
I've changed the water filter on my record cleaner. This is how much yuck comes out of about 25 LPs, some of which were brand new.

ATLANTIS WISHED (Anagram-Sonnet)
Within sad slate,
wind halts a site.
The island waits,
sans tidal white.
Awe hits its land—
At dawn, this isle
tilts wise a hand.
It stands awhile.
In wash, last tide,
the sand it wails.
Wan salt, it hides
its wit and shale.
Its death in laws,
it lies and thaws.
Within sad slate,
wind halts a site.
The island waits,
sans tidal white.

it lies and thaws.

I can’t really put my finger on how, but there’s a kind of racist feel to when English people call scottish people ‘scotch’
