He writes excellent lyrics.  Just the music is a bit lacking there. Kind of like a fair bit of 4.13 Dream musically doesn't go "click" with me in the same way as my favourite stuff from The Cure.  For those tracks off that album and for the new track from Mike Scott here, I have to get into a "performance poetry" mindset to listen to it and appreciate.  Not into the "here's some amazing music" mindset.

And as I'm ironing (doesn't happen very often)...

...just listening to some old stuff again, doesn't he just nail it?  Exactly what the current big protests are about...

,daneben liegen' 😄

Two songs for the protests. ♥


Everyone knows that one, but this one is just lovely and bittersweet.  For Martin Luther King.

In other (extremely tongue in cheek and bitter) words, and in another (fantastic) voice...
Banshees fans might know this one, by the way.

Siouxsie covered this, @piggymirror?  It'd be great if you popped your favourite clip of that on the Banshees thread - should be really interesting. 

Another topical song:

...and while I've got this album out, I think this is a wonderful emotional fit for what's happening in the streets, and a scintillating song...




Just because you're white doesn't mean you have to agree with this shiitake.  Or because you're straight or whatever.  We're all human, but the bullies like to run the classroom.  I love love love seeing all these people saying, "Enough is enough!"
