    Club Card James Bond

    Theme : 006 Club Card James Bond is a character that's been swishing about in my subconscious for a few years now, from the days of hanging around in executive lounges with businessmen who wanted to think of themselves as impossibly suave and jetset (but really they were worried about getting enough points to retain their British Airways Executive Gold Tier status, so they could, you know, get free biscuits and stuff).

    04:09

    Beavers Give A Dam (a Protest Song)

    Once native to this fine land, the beaver roamed the rivers and streams of Great England until the 16th century, when it was hunted to extinction for fur, meat, and secretory castoreum. Over the course of the current century a few brave souls have sought to resurrect the beaver to its former glory and restore Great England's natural heritage. This is their story...

    Skimming Pebbles

    Songaweek2018 : Reflection. Skimming pebbles, killing time On my own but with you on my mind When the water clears it becomes a mirror And the face looking back isn’t mine I’ve got your eyes and I’ve got your smile You threw your love to the wind All the seeds we sow and the stones we throw Are all we’ve got left in the end Skimming pebbles in the lake Watching the ripples they make And we count each bounce till the stone goes down We had all of the time we could take Ten years gone since we sang that song Echoes from so long ago All the songs we sing and the words we spin You can’t take them back when you go
