#VenusSands

"The morning star has long since gone
The sun is high in the sky
Shadowless a figure stands
Stranded on Venus sands

Up in the blue and circling
The seabirds watch and wait
For movement of a certain kind
Down on their dinner plate

Where children played a flower lays
Pulled and torn up by its roots
And where it stood
The empty space just screams...

Down on the flats, baby turtles race
For safety of the big deep
And white caps come crashing in
Indifferent to tender flesh

Shriek of attack, then moving in
A raucous clash, a gourmet din
Of cruel gull beaks
And tearing skin... screaming

Lit by the evening star at Venus sands
Against a blood orange sky
There's a shadow of a figure prone
Abandoned and all alone
Venus sands"

- #TheCreatures (#SiouxsieSioux and #Budgie), 1989

The Foggy Dew, Sinéad O'Connor with The Chieftains

Perfect for tonight's theme.

🎵Their bravest fell, and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the springing of the year
While the world did gaze, with deep amaze, at those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew🎵

What song more relevant to these times than "Inner emigration" by the great Daniel Kahn:

Get ready for your inner emigration
Get ready to be alien inside
Consider all your social obligations
The borders of your foreign order bride
You won't ever have to leave your nation
You won’t have to even try
Just make a secret inner emigration
And you won’t ever have to say goodbye

For this #JukeboxFriday we’ve got the #WarioLand Shake It soundtrack. This one is interesting to me because it’s literally as stereotypical as you can get, but still manages to sound catchy and fun regardless.

The Bad Manor song just screams ‘haunted mansion’:

The Slipshod Slopes one just screams ‘Christmas’:

Where I grew up: Gomez's "Get Myself Arrested" - youtu.be/9drameYoMek?feature=s

I grew up in the same town/time and boy, I knew so many "plastic scallies" who were trying to get themselves arrested.

Where I live now: "Strange Fish" by Toby Martin - youtu.be/lzhzzkUHGmk?si=4QmjSv

(A fun mix of trad folk vibes & noise)

He's Australian but lived in our village for a while and wrote a whole album about the area. This video shows off the landscape: youtu.be/tV9nT9dPjjU?si=byu_Kx
