MEPs in the EU Parliament greeted Hungarian prime minister, Viktor OrbΓ‘n, with a rowdy rendition of the classic anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao.

One fine morning I woke up early
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao
One fine morning I woke up early
Find the fascist at my door

My favourite version...

another 2 months until I get to see Nick Cave live for the first time since the 90s. I'm excited.

Going through the albums in order between now and then. First track of first album - Leonard Cohens Avalanche. As a teen I loved Leonard then heard this and it blew me away. The tortured angst and darkness called to me lol

Saw this poem linked from Nick Caves Red Hand Files. Love it;

Sometimes a Wild God - Tom Hirons

Your dog barks;
The wild god smiles.
He holds out his hand and
The dog licks his wounds,
Then leads him inside.
The wild god stands in your kitchen.

Ivy is taking over your sideboard;
Mistletoe has moved into the lampshades
And wrens have begun to sing
An old song in the mouth of your kettle.

Been to a few gigs with daughter but tomorrow we are heading down to Dublin to see her absolute favourite singer, Girl in Red. I’m not a fan but i just can’t relate. Saying that I’m absolutely so excited to be going!
Memories and all that.
