Sperm whales like to nap under the water and away from the waves. They seem to do this in a vertical, head-up orientation. That makes sense, given that their enormous heads, which take up a third of their bodies, are full of oil, wax, and air–all buoyant materials. What’s less obvious is how the whales maintain their depth while sleeping. (Image credit: S. Granzotto; research credit: N. Freymond et al.; via Ars Technica)
I mentioned Matt (Steady) t’other day after I bought his compilation set
[The Dragon’s Refrain] for just the P&P! haven’t stopped
playing it since and have just received more info about his stripped down
album Velvet and Gold out just last Thursday . . . oh, and it’s a peach!
Dear friends,
As you'll no doubt be aware, Velvet and Gold was released last Thursday.
There's been quite a lot of interest and comments and emails from people
enjoying it - so thank you for listening, thank you for downloading,
thank you for ordering, thank you for sharing the music with your friends!
I'd like to thank the following lovely people for being part of this and
(hopefully) enjoying the album:
Jennifer, Hannah, David, Timothy, Ian, Ken, Ken, Andy, Kelly, Michael, Michael, John, Jeff, Will, Phil, Andrew, Phillip, Paul, Chris, David, Paul, Clive, Greg, Mat, Damo, Mark, Ian, David, Hans, Bob, Adrian, Sally, Stephen, Suzanne, Colin, Stephen, Rich, David, Stephen, Jim, Tam, Graham, Geoff, Christopher, Barry, Mike, Jon, Steven, Alan, John, Dennis, Teresa, Richard, Graham, Paul, David, Russell, Richard, Colin, Steven, Pete, Ulrike, Stephen, Neil, Henry, William, John, BG, Marina, Yvonne, Julie, Mikey, Hedley, Paul, Vernon, Gary, Ian, Nigel, Andrew, Rhys, David, Steven, Wayne, David, Christopher, Zee, Robert, John, Richard, Brian, Roger, Mark, Gordon, David, Graham, William, Steve, Alan, Jason, Steve, Ian, Eric, Robert, Barrie, Paul, Scott, Rob, KC, Philip, Alasdair, Rebecca, Mathew, Brendon, Melissa, Robert, Kathie, Choo, Alistair, Gordon, Angela, Bruce, Nicholas, Barry, Ron, Penelope, James, William, Fiona, Tim, James, Alan, Peter, Jen, Stephen, Stephen, Piers, John, Chris, Jonathan, KP, Richard, Francis, Alan, G, Nigel, Mark, Nancy, Theodore, Mark, John, Kathryn, Joy, Steve, Herman, Jeff, Charles, Jane, Geoff, Gordon, Gordon, Steve, Steven, Shelley, Ray, James, Roy, Chris, Michael, David, Robert, Lee, Bob, Jeff, Edward, Robert, William, David, Harry, Tracy, Andrew, Jane, Michael, Charles, Joy, Sally, Tony, Andrew, Bear, John, Christopher, P, Joy, Mark, Alberto, Mike, Peter, Julie, Rachel, Paul, Nicholas, Wendy, Alan, Martin, Garry, Paul, Russell, Libby, Scott, Mark, Harry, Richard, Simon, Stephen, Mark, Nathan, Pauleta, Brian, Ed, Opal, Steven, David, Clive, Andrew, Steve, Gary, Jason, Maurice, Ewen, Janet, Maike, Rico, Glenn, John, Alick, Michael, William, Nigel, Michael, Jayna, David, Larry, Lawrence, David, Andrew, Pete, Dave, Rob, Phillip, Christopher, Gordon, Elizabeth, Dave, Jeffrey, Ian, Lee, Marcie, and last but not least Brent!
The whole aim of this project is to get it out to as many people as possible.
Music is powerful and healing, and I would like the album to make a small
difference in the lives of some people that really need it.
To that end, there is a free download, and even a free CD
(there is a p&p cost so I don't actually go bankrupt!).
Share the links. Copy the CD. Pass on the downloads.
Do what it takes!
You have my permission to do so.
And then the algorithm threw this at me!
GLEN HANSARD and CURTIS FOWLKES
‘LOWLY DESERTER'
Graham says:Today is the third anniversary of Curtis Fowlkes’ departure. 😢 All I’m thinking is the craic himself and Glen are having wherever they might be at!You are so missed guys xxHere’s a clip of them playing Lowly Deserter together, from a European tour we were on several years back.Curtis Fowlkes #curtisfowlkes @glenhansard #glenhansard
I am struck by the song and must check it out as it seems like jingoistic rabble rousing and anti-pacifism to shame the 'lowly deserter' so . . he is going to Hell apparently! But hey its a for classic I guess
Given that our old ‘office’ used too be The White Horse pub in Oxford my ole muckah Phil will doubtless find this one really funny! I know I did! Why, we’d still fit right in!
Clay Pigeons - White Horse Guitar ClubThis time of year always feels like a turning point. The light fades, the evenings close in, and people start to gather again around the fire. In Ireland, that was always the heart of the home the place where stories were told, songs were shared, and the world outside could wait for a while. The threshold and veil between us and another world is said to be closer and and we face into winter and harvests are gathered in hibernating preparation for a renewal. Maybe that’s where we are at right now.That’s the feeling we wanted to capture here. Just a few of us around a fire, no fuss, no lights, just the sound of the flames and a song between friends. Clay Pigeons feels like the right one for it. A song by a troubled soul, Blaze Foley ,probably seeking his own renewal and facing into his own winters with his own struggles. A song about starting over, finding something extraordinary in the ordinary, taking a walk, meeting people, saying hello, feeling part of things again.There’s a sense of renewal in it, the same kind you feel sitting by a fire at the start of November, when the year is turning. Maybe that’s all this is really a small gathering, a few voices, a quiet reminder that we’re still connected if we’re open to that. And as we stand on the edge of renewing the second leg of the Sos Beag tour, we’re looking forward to gathering again with all of you around the glow of the songs. In some ways, that’s our fire. Each night is a chance to reignite that spark, to strip things back to what matters most, the music, the connection, and the shared warmth that comes when people gather for something real.So here’s to renewal, to finding our rhythm again as the year turns to its end. We can’t wait to see you out there -starting in The Pavilion Theatre Dún Laoghaire - next Saturday for a nights of songs, stories, and simple celebration. As the nights draw in, may we all keep that little flame alive. Joe Philpott
I of course first came across this Blaze Foley classic from our John Prine wot we wot of . . . .

Jefferson Starship’s flight was always turbulent. Following a disastrous visit
to Berlin in June 1978, Grace Slick departed, and was soon followed by Marty Balin.
A car crash that October forced drummer John Barbata to leave too, but the band
managed to regroup and release Freedom At Point Zero in November 1979.
Showcasing new singer Mickey Thomas and new drummer Aynsley Dunbar,
they embarked on a promo tour, playing classics from throughout their career,
as well as more recent material. The superb performance on this set was
originally broadcasted live around the US on various FM radio stations, including KSAN.

There are many reasons to love Molly Tuttle; her stunningly strong and haunting voice, her peerless guitar picking, she has the same forename as my granddaughter but there is also this!
She is gorgeous and got married this year (sorry chaps! and er, chapesses!?)
Gal got stone cajones!
