there is a similarity with raymond williams' novel people of the black mountains. in both the landscape has history and myth associated with it and one can get lost in it.
williams was from nearby pandy just north of llanfihangel crucorney, near abergavenny, so his is a book of mountains rather than of woods.
it is the beginning of the ganesha chaturthi (though one should really begin by avoiding seeing the moon on the 6th).
success with the washing machine - it has a new pump and horsemouth and his mum have a supply of de-limescaling liquid/ pouches? (horsemouth is not quite sure). you see there was horsemouth catastrophising uptown and downtown but really all it was was expensive.
horsemouth has been reading kafka's investigations of a dog (as titled by max brod 'forschungen eines hundes'). our observer dog cannot explain the strange behaviour of the dancing dogs from within dogish behaviour but we can because we recognise it as behaviour that dogs can be trained to do. of course, it is in a long list of animals doing human things in kafka, benjamin apparently couldn't get on with it.
sergio mendes has died (here with lani hall). horsemouth has been singing this a lot to himself (or is it toure kunda).
there is a rather amusing venn diagram type illustration online (horsemouth was about to say zen diagram but of course this would be a blank page).
in the diagram there is (of course) a lot of common space between music that I like and music my friends like (this is how we expect it to be) but there is very little common space (if any) with music that I make and music that makes money - therein lies the comedy.
yesterday was bandcamp friday. he assumes you have all purchased and downloaded your preferred musicians of bremen tracks but if you have a friend you think might like them please circulate them around.
