Music
For those of y'all who like acoustic folk, check out Hank Woji, and in particular his single, Patriot Games, a classic folk protest song. Many thanks to Marty over On the Homefront for the introduction to this marvellous piece. Check it out.
I've also been listening to Lorcan's CDs, especially his most recent, Interstice. Lorcan, ye've gotta find a way to allow folks to buy these over the web. I will say now what I said when I first heard it - you've got to be the only musician I've ever heard who actually seemed to *listen to the lyrics* of poor "Tom of Bedlam". This is one heck of a lament, folks. And do not miss "Maili Dhonn" which is just beautiful and haunting. The entire CD The Best of Lorcan Otway is Yet to Come stands as a protest against the rush to war and against the shameful treatment that soldiers and pacifists have always suffered, one of the many cruel ironies of war. For some of his lyrics, check out his blog, where he sometimes posts them.
