Fuck, this one hurts, for me the greatest guitarist, a musician in the service of the band and the song, who played on and helped create a wild succession of the finest records ever made. RIP Steve Cropper.

Twelfth century St Nicholas’ church, on a small, high clearing abundant in yews, nettles et aura fantasmagorique…

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

Watching Father Ted’s a Christmassy Ted and remembered this nugget of pop trivia, the priest with the most boring voice Father Fitzgerald (Sean Barrett) in Ireland's largest lingeree section was the cover star of The Smith's single "How Soon is Now" a still from the 1958 film "Dunkirk".
