The Lower Derwent Valley is one of England's great wetlands, though still relatively little known. Just got my copy of this superb, comprehensive new book on its bird life. Artwork & photos alone make it worth the modest £25 (540 pages, hardback). Details from

Yes, I would watch a documentary of it, too, even though I haven't thought about the album in decade. I'm reading the wikpedia page now. It hints at the process. Seems collaborative in its way.

When I first got it I was working on a special project with one other co-worker. We were isolated in a conference room and played it on a loop for two weeks, at least. I recall us both being surprised by the heavy U2 influence/presence.

Nice! Also, the BoDeans on "Somewhere Down the Crazy River"

Thanks! This has gotten me to pull my Robbie Robertson CD from my shelves. I haven't listened to it in ~35 years.

Jazz OTD: Hank Mobley Day, Part 1 - Recorded April 21, 1957, the aptly named "Hank" has Mobley leading a terrific hard-bop sextet with Donald Byrd (tp), Bobby Timmons (p), Wilbur Ware (b), Philly Joe Jones (d), and John Jenkins (as), whose talent merited more success than he had, sadly. #jazzsky

A Confederacy of Haters Substack describes its newsletters as solid “independent businesses.” The counter-public responds: we are gig workers excluded from most legacy media work.

Fascinating stuff from @sarahbrouillette.bsky.social: 'Like public spheres of the past, Substack has created its own proletarianized counter-public: under-employed writers.'

I'm very grateful to author Aymeric Leroy, and publisher Steve Feigenbaum at Cuneiform for sending me this splendidly, weighty tome. It really is the definitive word on the Canterbury Scene. I can't recommend it enough to fans of the genre. Time for a cup of tea, I think.
