Yesterday was Burns night. A big night for the Scottish celebrating the poet Robert Burns. I lived in Edinburgh for the majority of August 2017. I noticed there was a lot old of police boxes. Such as described in the following link and shown in the picture.

David Bowie – Hunky Dory

Reblogging this as a good review of one of my favourite Bowie albums – although much as I like all the individual tracks on Hunky Dory I do prefer The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars.

lyrique discorde

It’s a hard thing to pick a favorite Bowie album. I’ve spent so much of my life with his music, discovering, and re-discovering, hits and deeper cuts alike, album to album. I’ve listened to them on vinyl, cassette, CD, and yes, even 8-Track. Although time has changed what songs hit me, and what albums I gravitate towards, there’s one that has remained consistent, beloved, and even made it to the number 1 spot of Lyriquediscorde’s Top 30 Albums. Hunky Dory.

David Bowie – Hunky Dory
Quintessential Albums
Lyriquediscorde

Hunky Dory is David Bowie’s fourth studio album. It was released on December 17, 1971, by RCA Records. It was Bowie’s first release through RCA, which would be his label for the next decade. (from Wikipedia)

The album was recorded at Trident Studios in July 1971, several days after his Glastonbury appearance. Hunky Dory has been said to…

In memoriam

I wanted to write something to mark the 100th anniversary of Wilfred Owen’s death on 4th November 1918. This from fellow blogger Lit.gaz pretty much says it all though.

LIT.GAZ.

Wilfred Owen is etched on the collective British memory of the Great War in a way that no other poet is. I first came across Anthem For Doomed Youth and Dulce Et Decorum Est in the fourth form at school, in the late 1960s, long before I met any other poetry from that time. So what is it that makes Owen stand out, and is he better than the others?

His own tragic story adds poignancy to his legacy; certainly he was not the only poet to be killed in the war, but the story of his death in battle only a week before the Armistice, and the receipt of the dreaded telegram by his parents in Shrewsbury on Armistice day as the rest of the townsfolk celebrated the end of four and a half years of insanity cannot fail to move us. He died a hero, and he died…

Wonderwall

Following on from Kirsty’s prompt History, a prompt based upon a historical event that occurred 413years ago this month but, is remembered in the UK each November 5th: The attempt to blow up parliament when the King was due to attend therefore termed Treason.

The prompt is TREASON however feel free to think of it as betrayal if that makes it easier.
