this is the voice of YOUTUBE (we know that you can hear us)

so who does horsemouth listen to on youtube? 

andy edwards - a somewhat over-excitable brummie drummer (and drum teacher) and, more recently, youtuber. horsemouth is mostly there for the prog and jazz funk but andy has a side order of theorising about music, musicians, and the new economic conditions musicians  find themselves in that horsemouth finds really interesting. though, to be fair, some of his political analyses are just rubbish (opines horsemouth).  so it's not an unqualified seal of approval. 

rick beato - horsemouth is less interested in the interviews with the great and good of music that with rick's theorising about what has gone wrong with music. similar to andy edwards above (or perhaps the other way round) the music industry chewed him up and spat him out but now he makes his money out of youtube. 

outlaw bookseller you know. a pontypridd boy reviewing SF and living in bath. he also goes for walks (those are pretty good too).

bookpilled is similar but younger. he also does a clothing reselling advice page and occasional travel and autobiographical content. 

to some extent as you listen to people you become embroiled in the web and weft of their life story. 

ok horsemouth will carry on with this another time. he will add to the list.  

here's a great radio 4 documentary - annie briggs interviewed first by the serpentine and then up in scotland. a meeting by the serpentine/ a memory of the erewash. 

horsemouth has been reading a voice from the chorus  by abram tertz/ andrei sinyavsky in preparation for the anniversary of sinyavsky's birth on october 8th.

in a bit horsemouth will peg it out of the door and go and open up the abbey. it's an average-ish morning (for the time of year).
