One of my very favourite Frabbit songs, and this is a great acoustic version by Scott Hutchison.

Goodbye Owl John
"Come gather in my lungs Scottish wind
Belt out your blackest poems
As the sea around you sings
When that drone takes to the air
A single note to raise my hairCarry songs beyond my lungs cold Scottish wind"
Belt out your blackest poems
As the sea around you sings
When that drone takes to the air
A single note to raise my hairCarry songs beyond my lungs cold Scottish wind"
RIP Scott Hutchison
Devastating news, tragic. Such a great talent, such a loss. Your words have long been rooted in my head, have helped steer me my through my own dark times. Whatever peace you needed I hope you have it now.

Music Venue Trust - Grassroots Music Audience Survey 2018
Since it was founded in 2014 the Music Venue Trust has helped to protect grassroots music venues across the country, helping to secure the future of such illustrious venues as The 100 Club, the Tunbridge Wells Forum and, a personal favourite, the venerable establishment that is The Joiners. As well as these all being stepping stones onto the gigging circuit, providing valuable live experience and exposure to willing punters, these venues have something else in common; they've all danced scarily close to the edge of closure.
The Music Venue Trust works to ensure that these important venues have the recognition they deserve, recognition for the essential service they provide to their local communities, for their importance to the music industry in general and to their local economies.
To aid the Music Venue Trust in their fight to protect these important venues they're running this survey to gain evidence in their campaign. By taking part, and answering seven straightforward questions, we can all aid them in their fight to protect, secure and improve the UK's grassroots music venue circuit (which, as I'm sure you'll agree, is good for everyone of us music-loving gig-goers).

Childish Gambino - This Is America
It's brilliant, scary, funny, gorgeous, choreographed, worrying & fantastic and, since it dropped on an unsuspecting internet at the weekend, I can't stop watching it...
