'are you a fan of his music or looking for more information about his work?'

 what does copilot say?

'horsemouthfolk, also known as horsemouth helliwell, is a musician with a unique history. he played guitar in a band called bush house in the 1990s, which attempted to blend brooklyn afro-beat with hackney vibes. he has a presence on platforms like discogs and myspace, and has performed solo shows, such as one in south london.'

more year of alice stuff excerpts from a rare interview with alice coltrane from WDET detroit public radio. there were some other things with ravi and michelle coltrane, horsemouth will try and look them out.

it is the morning. it is a rainy morning. 

this is a mostly written in the morning blogpost.

it is four years on from when horsemouth learned of the death of refugee sudanese poet abdel wahab yousif (drowned while trying to cross the  mediterranean). horsemouth (briefly) did some online research about sudanese poets (and that was it). 

'even if you get planning approved today, it takes on average two years before you can sell the first home, so it’s not going to happen quickly. as they say with trees – the best time to plant one was yesterday.' 

- anthony codling, housing analyst at investment bank RBC capital

this is the problem with the government's housebuilding plan. it is yet another announcement of the intention to build enough housing which will be followed a few years later by admissions of failure and the announcement of a plan to build enough housing. 

and it all takes too long to build enough housing to actually move the dial on housing availability. further the kind of housing built (upscale housing designed to turn a good profit) is not the kind of housing needed (social housing to house the poor). 

housing is becoming a scarce asset and as a result is now of interest to private equity firms swollen with money from online businesses. a vast centralisation of wealth is taking place as the rents vanish up into the corporate heavens. . 

it is five years on from when horsemouth was bemoaning his lot as his wages fell and his rent rose but really (it has turned out) he has enough for his needs and he has no dependants. he will scan his email box. at some point the communal endeavour will restart for the autumn season. 

er. it doesn't look like there is much he can get up to today (rainy all day).
