Um…
Not exactly feelgood, OR music.

Funny isn’t it, how threads we start can get away from us.

Only if those who post decide not to abide.
I’m a big fan of preserving the few positive threads that manage to stay that way, amid the constant barrage of negativity, disappointment and just plain fuckery that the world throws at us.
Also, I meant to post this sooner:

Did you rap Mindy’s knuckles in a DM instead of here, for posting a dead musician’s obit?
It’s not exactly feelgood, OR music.
I’ve been listening to modern British jazz recently (by the people mentioned in the article like Shabaka Hutchings and Moses Boyd and Nubya Garcia among others) so I’ve made a giant playlist from artists and records mentioned here.
The first song mentioned by Shabaka is, I think, this:
Which may not be your definition of feel good but is certainly old skool. And named after a then just out musical with Liv Ullman. Oddly enough.
I found it on YouTube and it’s Bacharach and David. And the first scene is people fleeing a war to an airport and the Americans saying that there will be planes for everyone. There won’t.
Lost Horizons is the musical/drama.
Thinking about it the musical was 73 so no wonder they started with people fleeing Asia.

This song came to mind after seeing people use well-constructed and logical explanations to try and change other folks’ flawed point of view. The beginning of the lyrics appear below:
“Headstrong” by 10,000 Maniacs
To your common sense firm arguments
I won’t listen to your voice of reason trying to change my mind.
I mind my feelings and not your words.
Didn’t you notice I’m so headstrong even when I know I’m wrong?
Take this to your heart and into your head now:
before you waste your time, call a truce and call a draw.
What’s the use in mapping your views out in orderly form
when it does nothing but confuse and anger me more?
I mind my feelings and not your words.
Didn’t you notice I’m so headstrong.
You’re talking to a deaf stone wall.
Take this to your heart and into your head now:
the old wives’ tale is true, I’ll repeat it.
All is fair in love and war, that’s how the famous saying goes.

They said he had a “deep-felt and passionate aversion to becoming a ‘prisoner’ of a hostile majority” and in his evidence to the court, Lydon said the agreement “smacks of some kind of slave labour”.
Shut up, Johnny… just… no.
