Robert Cray is undoubtedly a legend when it comes to the Blues, for many fans of the genre he is the one artist that carried the Blues aloft between the end of the 1970s and the turn of the century with any sense of form, style, beauty and care, the true link between the Golden Age and the momentum that has followed since the final years of void in which Blues arguably, like Jazz and Progressive Rock died a little death every day.

Many complex reasons:
Yet one simple truth,
you
do
not
care,
blinded by a singular hate,
you believe what is written
above the Polish camp,
that work, the noble cause
sets you free, robotic, automaton,
death squad in suits not uniforms,
you do not care,
let me repeat,
you do not give a singular flying fuck
for those you deem
surplus
to your vision of one percent ownership,
you do not care about the old
nestling in filth and squalor,
No, sorry,
can you prove you are a politician?
I know you say you are,
but you look too well.
I realise that as we are sat here discussing your future
you might be concerned that you
are worried about your benefits,
that being struck off the list
to be eligible for a huge salary, expenses,
wined and dined, your opinion sought,
a lucrative second job perhaps,
not quite what you said at our last meeting,
you didn’t declare that outside interest
did you,

Poignancy is everywhere, one just needs to when to listen and when to open your eyes; the simple word, the unspoken action, all these moments can be felt when we open up our souls and acknowledge that an ending is sometimes only a prelude to finding that person once more, that life will always find a way and that a song, a film, any art or gesture can be poignant and moving, it can cause emotions to clash and be affectionate and tender.

The art of being lost in Time only works if you never speak again after your success, otherwise Time has a way of bringing you back, rediscovering you and finding a place in uncertain times for you to shine and be incredible once again. You may believe you can control Time; that you can do one thing, do it so well that for a moment in the wink of your eye you are on top of the world and then you can disappear at your own volition and be forever remembered with sepia toned acknowledgement and praise as the ultimate bee’s knees.

Imagine coming across a band which whilst heavily indebted to the heavier side of Metal sounds as flattering and captivating as a finely tuned orchestra in mid stride; that to find the exterior of the music is as auspicious as the as the compliment inside, can only mean that OMRÅDE have released themselves from their sense of quiet and downtime of two years and come back fighting with the tremendous album Nåde.

Somewhere across an ocean they talk of Texas as the Lone Star State, the place where everything is a little bigger than anywhere else, where money and riches are second nature, where life is somewhere to dream of living. Elsewhere Texas is a state of mind, a symbol of music at its very best, where humility is the watchword, where life is a place in which emotion and dreams are part and parcel of the gift of music. This Texas is arguably a finer place to find yourself residing for a while, it is certainly the position in life in which it is always more beautiful to Jump On Board.

There is always something reassuringly honest about Doctor Who when it finds itself within the past, a story that explains, even in the smallest detail or nugget of information, how history has been seen across the ages, how the unfolding of time is not that different after all from what we believe, or even how wildly inaccurate our modern day of thinking is and how biased it can be when we only use modern devices instead of books to check our facts.
It is like a horror film franchise,
Ester of The Shires, The Crimes of Ester,
The prolonged Career of Ester,
Ester’s Revenge, The (Hopeful) Political Death of Ester,
The Rising of Ester, Ester Strikes Back,
Ester…Ester…Ester 8, 9.10…
how the fuck
does she stay in contention,
how does she get parachuted in
to a position of responsibility,
to whom does she appeal,
the blue rinse, the deniers of compassion,
oh dear Ester, I thought we had seen
the very last of you, yet there you are, scuttling
