'this morning, north shropshire has fallen to the liberal democrats with the third-biggest swing against the tories since 1945'
horsemouth is of course delighted. he'd just like to rub that in a bit prime minister. (he should probably look up when the other two even bigger swings against the tories were).
apparently the vikings celebrated with winter solstice with weeks of feasting so horsemouth has decided to stretch out his celebrations by revisiting the golden glow mixes he was involved with.
he starts with this one from 18th december 2015 featuring sproatley smith, canned heat etc. (but opening with a call to ganesha - the remover of obstacles). he 'ends' with the one from 24th december 2020. between these he strings the golden glows from the intervening years (6th of march 2016 and 24th october 2016).
after the official end of the festival he will be offering up the two golden glows subsequently recorded (31st may 2021 and 12th december 2021). the structure is a day on and then a day off. he will be endeavouring to listen to them himself in an attempt to recapture the animating passions of those years.
he will of course be producing an official festival calendar (but this will have to do for now). he realises this structure is a bit arbitrary and will probably be reworking it in subsequent years.
today a rainy grey misty kind of day. last night a zoom beers session with howard (3 bottles) then the last episode of quatermass and then the haunted palace (1963) (more lovecraftian shenanigans seemingly based on the case of charles dexter ward and set in the village of arkham). he will finish this off this evening.
horsemouth has exhausted the house stock of beer - this is rare he is normally a fairly abstemious drinker when he is at home. he did a little reading of hannah arendt's the origins of totalitarianism (a present from his brother last year).
