The islands putting the brakes on the rural exodus of Scottish youth
A great article (for people outside the islands who may be unaware of the challenges) on the issues and maybe some of the opportunities.

Songtexts I
Hit the ceiling, then you fall
Things are tougher than we are
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone eat it drink just another chink
Cuts and dents they catch the light
Aluminum the weakest link
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
Bring den vorschlaghammer mit
Wenn du heute abend kommst
dann hauen wir alles kurz und klein

Continuing my photos of #gigs past here's a #throwback to #TheNational playing #NOS Lisbon in 2018. I was quite far back as I often am at festival mainstages.
The National are a really good live band, considering their more low key brand of rock. It was the only time I've seen them. The crowd loved them.
If you love #LiveMusic & going to #gigs let us know! Reply in this thread & I'll give it a boost. Photos of your gigs would be great

we’re half awake in a fake empire
The Mastodon SDF bot told me to not only introduce myself but also to mention what I love. So, in case you love some of these things too, here we go:
#poetry, #TheNational, #classical, #blues, #acoustic, #literature, #film, #photography, #arts, #philosophy, #psychology, #restaurants, #vodka, #gin, and #laughingsohardthatiwanttofallover (but not from the vodka or the gin!)
And finally, my #Cockapoo, Maisie who is the joy and sweetness that keeps my heart beating amidst the chaos and the storms.
