Listening to the album "Is Satan Real?" By the Church of the Cosmic Skull. It's very good! Especially "Mountain Heart".

Was Robert Johnson the greatest blues guitarist of all time?

"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Oh dear Gordon Haskell, one time member of King Crimson and other proggy groups has died.  :(

He was also a regularly on the local club and pub scene hereabouts for a long time until recent years.

I'm going to listen to his 'Hambledon Hill' solo album.

I remember you metnioned that he used to hang out at your local once.

Shame. I actually don't know any of his stuff, other than his work with Crimson. So I'll listen to Lizard tonight

I'm trying to think of a 90s rap song with the line "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". Google is no help. Anyone remember it?

Yes, and I wonder what's happened to all the other acts during lockdown.

Good choice of music.

The Minsky Moment

Sons of Kismet, Your Queen is a Reptile (2018)

British jazz group with Caribbean and Afrobeat influences.  Apparently they don't think much of the Windsors. The track titles propose various alternatives, most but not quite all would give E2 stiff competition (personally not sold on HRH Angela Davis).  As to the music, was on the fence until track 3 (Queen Harriet Tubman) delivered the best interaction I've heard between sax and tuba since Arthur Blythe and James Newton on "Down San Diego Way" from Lenox Avenue Breakdown (1979). Fun, exuberant album - would love to see these guys live.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Sorry to hear, especially that you enjoyed his music at your local area clubs. Reminds me of a local group that plays in Boston and other local clubs, Drop Kick Murphies. Not sure if I have the name right as I haven't thought of them in a long while.

Whoa, very nice.

I'm listening to a whole-day video conference on some business matters :). Very exciting.
