This is episode 99...of my music podcast
Not strictly MY music podcast, but a friend and I have been doing this podcast for a few years now. Since late 2006 to be exact.

And now…we have one more episode to the almighty 100!
Here’s the iTunes and the website link if you want to...

I plant the kind of kiss That wouldn’t wake a baby On the self same face The lie wouldn’t let me sleep And the street is singing with my feet And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller All down to you, dear Everything has changed My sorry name Has made it to graffiti I was looking for Someone to complete me Not anymore, dear. Everything has changed You make the moon a...

I can’t think of a better campaign to get behind this year than this one. The world has no need for this sort of thing any more. It “dilutes” things that can actually help people and is a blight on the evolved human race.

Well worth a read.
“…fossil fuel industries have employed “experts” to lie, cheat and manipulate on their behalf. The revelations in their book are 100 times graver than anything contained in these emails.”

We were left with nothing better to do than drink coffee, wine and to explore the city. On this day we decided to head away from Piazza Duomo which contained the popular tourist attraction, Duomo...
