Chloe and Leah Writing A New Song

Lana Del Rey Joins Liverpool FC

The reason I didn't listen to her singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" for so long was just that I am not that into football! See this post on Lana Del Rey Updates . Prévia de You Ill Never Walk Alone, que sai nessa sexta feira (04) pic.twitter.com/TbltZbKaz7 — Lana Del Rey Addiction (@LDRaddic) November 30, 2020 That photo was from this era: This interview was from 2014: I love Chelsea Hotel too!

Lissie - Nothing Compares to You, by Prince, and Change, by Lana Del Rey

Image
This song was first recorded by Prince in 1984 or thereabouts, but the recording was not released until 2018, after his death. Sinnead O'Connor had a hit with it in 1990 and there is an amusing story about her relationship with Prince. Change, by Lana Del Rey : Coincidence: See  Lana Del Rey Talking About Born To Die : David Quintieri on The Broken Economy and How To Really Fix It  and Lissie - Where Have All The Cowboy's Gone, by Paula Cole : Apparently, Nothing Compares to You was released on the only album published by Prince's project  The Family , in 1985. See  Janet Devlin . See David Lynch on Dream Logic and Linda Faludi on David Lynch on Women . ... and there's much more: See  The Foundation (Parts I, II and III) , written six years ago now. So this was all planned, but we have seem to have a pretty serious communications problem in some quarters. See  Why Is Telecommunications Security Important?  which I wrote over five years ago, and...

I didn't see this until today, ... David was thinking about Cripps Pink apples , ... I am glad I wasn't, because it would have made me angry. Most people in the UK think they're the best apples. There are literally hundreds of varieties of apple which grow in the England, but the UK imports most most of the apples they eat, because in the UK, most people buy their groceries from one of half a dozen chains of supermarkets which buy products in bulk and distribute them around the country by road transport for sale in large out-of-town supermarkets. Of course you can't import most of your apples from aboad and drive to out-of-town supermarkets to buy them without cheap petrol, so that's the British way of life that is under threat and which requires them to maintain conflict in the middle-east to keep oil prices down. But you won't hear this from Alastair Crooke: See  David Quintieri on William White's Recent Comments About Central Banks Monetary Policy .

David Quintieri on William White's Recent Comments About Central Banks Monetary Policy

Image
David has been saying this shit for years and he's blue in the face as a result. It's nice to hear someone who worked for the OECD reaffirm some of it, but there is not much real news here. Nothing in the interview I've seen so far shows that White has any better idea about real economics than any other banker does. It's not about money, it's about resource use, and you need to know a fuck of a lot more about human civilization as a whole than any banker I have ever heard of in order to understand what the real problem is. See  A Long Compicated Story About Archaeology in Venezuela  and  Economic and Technological Development of The Earth . The government of the Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia has made strong public commitments to  both the Ley de Derechos de la Madre Tierra , and also to accelerating the economic and  technological development of the country. The particular form of that economic and technological development therefore needs to be  demonst...

Long Complicated Story About Archaeology in Venezuela

Image
It all started 75 million years ago when a huge shale deposit was laid down, under the sea, presumably, which is now the oil-rich Maracaibo Basin of northwestern Venezuela, site of several hundred menes , which are fossil-rich tar pits. There are other sites in the Americas, such as La Brea in Southern California which feature this phenomenon. See  La Brea Del Sur: the fossil-rich tar pits of Venezuela may rival those of Southern California.  Then the story continues in March 2013 when I was in Rurrenabaque, Bolivia, failing to get any help from my former colleagues at the University of Cambridge and, having sold everything I owned, facing a very uncertain future in the Bolivian Amazon. Realising my problem was economics and people's failure to understand what it is all about, I made what I thought might be my last attempt to explain Aristotle's economics to the general public. As I wrote, I listened to this on repeat. I think I must have heard it over a hundred times in three...

  Happy Birthday Sabrina ! The Teddy Bears - To Know Him is to Love Him, a number one hit in the USA in (1958/59) apparently! Phil Spector was The Beatles' producer, credited with having a played a big part in their success, so I read once somewhere, .... And for some reason I associate this with Spector somehow. Internal textual evidence, ... It's my favourite Elton John Song. Then I found this video by Max Weiland in 2017 I guess: I bought a new t-shirt today. It says "California. By Tom's Palm Springs". That makes me feel better.

Lula Da Silva on Assange Extradition

Just re-posted by RT UK's GoingUnderground. From an interview in September: He says Assange should be awarded the Nobel Prize. What for? Economics? Chemistry? Physics? He's quite incoherent. I don't know why this is thought to be worth listening to. Here's the full episode: Perhaps Da Silva is suffering from some form of PTSD after his two years' incarceration? What happened to these technology projects started under Da Silva's regime: Lana Del Rey has quite a few Brazilian fans: This is the new Summertime:

Nick Cave at Cambridge Folk Festival 1999

Image
This seems to be the only record on YouTube that this ever happened. It was the first time I'd heard Nick Cave. But I don't think this video was taken then. Clearly the person who posted it knew what other bands were there, so probably heard the performance, which was in the early afternoon on the main stage, as I recall.  ... This was on the setlist: It was just Nick on the piano, singing, and a woman playing the cello, or a double bass maybe, and I seem to have a memory her name was Isobel.

Even if its bullshit news, as this example surely is, Twitter have no fucking right to censor it. Most likely they're censoring it at the request of the CIA to try to rebuild the myth that Evo Morales is a progressive socialist, just like Nicolas Maduro, and neither of them ever had any business with the CIA or the DEA. Or maybe they've got themselves into some sort of semantic pickle, and are trying to restore the bannisters? See  Poly Boiko: Everything is Political, ...

This is totally inexcusable. I cannot even start to imagine what these people think they are doing behaving like this. They are out of their minds and refuse to face up to the fact.

Just before I came here and saw this, I was thinking about Myra's advice about how to use time, and writing, and I thought about how writing your experiences feeds back into your life and the lives of others. This is a piece of writing that was inspired in large part by John Muir's writing, and the experience has given me another idea, of writing something about  Elizabeth Devereux-Rochester  the story of whose life seems to be an ever-changing mystery to me, rather like my own!

This is so fucking depressing. How much of this shit will you assholes put up with before you actually do something about it? See  Rebecca Henderson on Capitalism and Climate  and  Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough in Conversation . People do know what's going on. See for example this comment : UK wants to give itself impunity for future war crimes as well as exonerate itself of past war crimes. Absolutely disgusting considering they already managed to exonerate themselves of all war crimes despite the graphic video evidence - the British justice system is corrupt anyway, this is just belt & braces manipulation of the law from the war criminals. Starmer is a total disgrace, supposedly this scumbag was a human rights lawyer, what a total sham - just like giving Obama the Nobel peace prize and going on to assassinate thousands of people via drones.

Interesting bit in the  video description  asking Grayzone to reveal their sources of funding. I would like them to do that too.
