@EarlOfEdgecombe Good morning/afternoon from Wales ๐ ๐ฅฐ
It's a bit like that here now, although it's been glorious all day. I even got a bit of a tan!
Have a mellow Sunday x
Hereโs the video for the song LIQUID MODERNITY from my forthcoming album NEW MODERN STRINGS. It was released today on Bandcamp as a single, & the full album will arrive June 24th on vinyl, CD, & streaming.
The video is also on Bandcamp & the album site at newmodernstrings.com
Looking through a window on the eighth floor seven minutes before sunrise the blue sky above the ocean is full of swirling pink clouds. Tall hotels flank the left and right, and a cluster of palm trees is in the middle.
This articulates my exact feelings about San Francisco, the tech industry, & the entire social crisis of Capitalism we are all facing. Ms. Solnit writes with fierce precision & grace, connecting the dots with damning evidence rather than hyperbole.

"You canโt really be in favour of both democracy and billionaires, because democracy requires equal opportunity in order to participate, and extreme wealth gives its holders unfathomable advantages with little accountability. Iโve long believed that democracy depends in part on co-existing with strangers and people unlike you, on feeling that you have something in common with them."
