She's a titan who dated at least a few other Titans. Told Tricky not to get singing lessons because he'd lose his quirks. Introduced Goldie to Gorecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Both Grooverider and Dillinja have done some really neat remixes of her primary work.

Good day for this album.

You saw your life as a series of complicated dance steps
Impossible to learn, they had to come naturally
Together you squirmed and wriggled
And I could only jerk along behind

When I first got this album, I played the missile detonation over and over, to enjoy my hi-fi at its best.

I'm just really glad the fisticuffs in DC didn't get worse. That was *close*.

You think it's over?

Lol, well... 'it' could mean anything. This instance? I think so. Broader momentum? Likely not and it's probably going to show up in some other fashion. I'd genuinely love to see some actual proactive rather than reactive attempts to solve some of the Covid damage to the economy and some of the 'The Social Dilemma' media damage but that would probably take them actually moving on massive public works projects and who knows what else. We've got at least a few months before the vaccines start seriously rolling out so things will be as they are now or worse quite likely for that stretch of time.

Listening right now to Bret Weinstein on Triggernonometry. Should be good.

Here's a great little number from Jamiroquai. Some wags have suggested that JK was that colourful character who stormed the US Capitol building wearing horns. It was a thought that immediately occurred to me too when I first saw him.

Ha! He tweeted: "Good Morning Washington, loving the headgear, but not sure that's my crowd. Stay safe everyone, J xxx".

By video he said, "Good morning world! Now some of you may be thinking you saw me in Washington last night but I’m afraid I wasn’t with all those freaks."

He sure has done some great music. Corner of the Earth is my favourite:
