Moved server, new #introduction :)

I'm a local preacher in the #Methodist church, living in #Glasgow. I work as a software developer in C#/.NET and I'm interested in mobile linux. Background in physics.

I have a website: writing.straysong.co.uk/ which I'll host on a static IP one day...

Things I care about include #ClimateJustice, #inclusion and #Urbanism. I mostly get around by #bike. I play #clarinet #flute and #sax.

Earth Day -- celebrating the only home we will ever have.

"Heaven on This Earth"
A later version, quicker tempo.

One of my thoughts for writing this tune was to counter the irresponsible and false idea that there is a better place after this life.

Nope.

What we get is this planet spinning around in dark space.

Let's take care of it.

I mean… CMON DUDE!

Two naked chicks, with horns, sitting in a bowl of peanuts?

Take all of my money, please.

For what it’s worth, it’s just renditions of Parker songs.
No thanks. I have actual Charlie Parker for that.

Since it is Easter...

Tradition says Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus exit the tomb.

Mary Magdalene's history was diminished & contorted by the church to serve its policies of male dominance & subjugation of women. What can an artist do but retaliate with art? In this case, I wrote a fast frailach in her honor.

I explain her story:

I'm not looking to sell these guys - especially if a teacher who could put them in the hands of students who could make use of them.

(wouldn't turn down any re-homing fee offered of course).

Hand made 1950's - mid 60's altos by Beaugnier in Paris (made across the street from Selmer, sometimes by the same guys).

I just can't do alto :-/.

The prompt is Void

Romeo Void, “Never Say Never” from Benefactor, 1982

I’m highlighting this one song - perhaps #RomeoVoid’s most well-known, so least likely to need highlighting - because everything about it is so emblematic of the #PostPunk/ #NewWave of the early #80s: The scratching guitar adding texture more than melody, the pounding drums propelling the song without commenting or elaborating on it, the driving bass, as closest thing to a lead instrument, the disaffected, double-tracked spoken vocals, and for good measure, dollops of #sax punctuating the spiky proceedings with some full, shiny musicality.

When this hit my ears - crisp, snarky, and female-empowering - it was so refreshing, in a more spare, lean way than the wire-scrubbing-brush-to-the-ear of all-out #punk, as a caustic tool for dislodging the pablum of dentist-office muzak and commercial radio sludge that shrouded so much of life at the time.
