With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.
Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.

A thank you for all the support! (´∀｀)♡ As always, this sounds best when listened to with headphones.
The Futureheads - Sumer Is Icumen In
Not exactly what you’d expect from The Futureheads, but they did this traditional English folk song and others on their album Rant and it’s appropriate for May Day. It dates back to the 13th century and is believed to be the oldest surviving independent melodic counterpoint. Horror aficionados way recognise it from the original Wicker Man.
God’s Gonna Cut You Down || A southern gothic mix
The Lord’s gonna come for your first born son
His hair’s on fire and his heart is burning
So go to the river where the water runs
Wash him deep where the tides are turningThis isn’t no land of comfort. The earth is tired, and she heaves her rattling breaths through the dry grass. Dust hangs like a shroud on your shoulders and settles on the scuff of your shoes. Here, there’s religion in the cracked pages of Scripture and in the rim of a whiskey bottle. Our father who art in Heaven, He’s got a harsh heart. There’s bad blood in the bible; sins are not forgiven here, they are only absolved once the dues are paid. Here, grizzled men exhale their souls in cigarette smoke as they idle on the porch. Their venom is inside of slow smiles, as smooth as molasses. Here, women are sunken-eyed; they’ve got cleavers tied to their apron strings, vengeful and weary, faces hewn out of scrap iron. Nothing really lives here. The hoot owl whistles in the old cemeteries by dusk, but the real burial grounds are elsewhere- men find their graves at the bottom of the river, at the deepest hour of night. May they rest in sin indeed.
Don’t you lift him, let him drown alive
The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder
Let that fever make the water rise
And let the river run dry

“Let no man bring me harm, I bear the marks of Jesus.”
Dame Shirley Bassey - This Is My Life
Sometime when I feel afraid
I think of what a mess I’ve made
Of my life
Crying over my mistakes
Forgetting all the breaks
I’ve had In my life
I was put on earth to be
A part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I’ll just add up the score
And count the things I’m grateful for
In my life
Tom Lehrer - Smut
Smut!
Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can’t shut,
If it’s uncut,
and unsubt- le.
I’ve never quibbled
If it was ribald,
I would devour where others merely nibbled.Stories of tortures
Used by debauchers,
Lurid, licentious, and vile,
Make me smile.
Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime.
(Let’s face it, I love slime.)
