The nightmare goes on, and on, and on...

2 Deepfake


James Whatley alerted me to this extraordinary video as Jim Meskimen partnered with deepfake artist Sham00k to make his celebrity impression. More about the process here.

3 It's complicated - Seth Godin

If we only forward the easy, short and funny things we read online, why are we surprised that our inbox is filled with nothing we’ll remember tomorrow?

What would happened if instead, we shared the most complex, useful and thoughtful things we discovered instead

4 Never give in!

5 Living With Yourself 
We're enjoying Paul Rudd's show on Netflix.




Overtime: Small Faces
Combination of still reading Andrew Loog Oldham's 2Stoned and listening to my The Biggest Small Faces album on the Immediate label results in this clip of the amazing Steve Marriott in action:

1 DB: comic hero

Love this!

Great Vox piece that hooked me in via album covers and held my attention!

Great series of links to lessons about music from an old warrior - David Crosby, hisself!

4 Scary guy

Boris as the joker

5 The real Brexit story
 Great summary from New Statesman of how this nightmare started and why it's so mind numbingly stupid!

2 Ginger Baker

The old school ginga poly-rhythmic drummer passed away this week (you probably thought he died years ago - he wasn't a healthy guy!) 

A contrary character, there is no doubt. But all also agree - he was a freakishly gifted musician. Watch him in action here.

3 Uncle Walt's advice on living a rewarding life

4 Don't buy cheap chocolate!!
So says Seth. Here's why.

5 English

Our weird language discussed in an interesting way.

1 The art of seeing

Simple. Look. And learn. From Georgia O'Keeffe.

2 October movies!
Apparently people are talking about these 13 movies in October. I've lost touch with popular culture in so many ways, so I need this list!

3 Women in music

Lilith Fair was groundbreaking. 

4 Facing our fears - Seth Godin

Facing our fears

That’s unlikely.

If I’m lucky, I can glance at them.

But just for a second or two.

Our fears burn so bright that if we truly face them, we think we might be blinded.

Of course, we may think we’re looking at our fears, dead on, but it’s more likely we’re just seeing a distraction, a shadow of what’s actually holding us back.

Because once we’re truly clear about the fear, it fades. It might even disappear.

5 The good guy/bad guy myth

Explained.

Overtime: Jazz quotes 

Like this pearler from my dad's main squeeze, Diana Krall: I'm not really on a mission to tell anybody anything. I'd rather be figured out.
