Coffee thoughts:
Ireland is a polity where you can go and visit a Minister in a constituency office on a weekend to ask for help filling in a form.
The distance to/from officeholders is effectively zero.
But the distance for most people from *power* can be (invisible to them) huge.

On the night we elect his successor, this man, this artist, is in my thoughts.
What service he has given us.
Not only as President but as our first Minister for the Arts. This photo I took on Inis Oirr in 2021 is one of my most treasured. Go raibh maith aige. #Aras25

Mark Lanegan - Field Songs (1999) and Bubblegum (2004) were a staple around that time. I find some of his better received albums quite dull but the lesser liked like Scraps at Midnight (1998) quite good 🎶

Mark Ronson - you can’t really like Mark, can you? I can still listen to Here Comes the Fuzz (2003) and Version (2007), although the latter hasn’t aged very well. ➖

Manic Street Preachers - as much as I liked Everything Must Go (1996) and This is My Truth (1998) early grungey/punk stuff is better. Loved to have heard more with Traci Lords (later Nina Presson). Hard to like once you realise vocals are just crooning the title over and over➖

Lou Reed - I used to enjoy listening to Lou Reed. Until Spotify mixed him into every generated playlist or radio I listened to. Now I can barely tolerate him. The Boston Strangler (1976) contains good and different enough live versions of songs that I can listen to, especially towards the end ➖

Leonard Cohen - for some reason I have his entire discography. No idea why, I dislike most of it. Songs of Leonard Cohen (1969) is pretty good, and The Future (1992) is decent. 10 year ago me probably kept it because he’s a legend, freeing myself from this drear from today ❌
