Music Monday – “So while you sit back and wonder why/I got this fucking thorn in my side/Oh my God, it’s a mirage/I’m tellin’ y’all, it’s a sabotage”

Shea and I recently watched the Beastie Boys documentary on AppleTV+ and really enjoyed it. “Sabotage” – Beastie Boys

Music Monday – “Oh help me Jesus/Come through this storm/I had to lose her/To do her harm”

Shea and I are now onto “Peaky Blinders” for our latest must-watch TV series (what’s the opposite of binging where you watch one or two episodes a night, slowly, over time?) and part of the appeal is a kick-ass soundtrack… “Down By The Water” – PJ Harvey

Music Monday – “Do you call it as you see it and you’ve always been that way?/Are you reminiscent of how things were back in the day?/Are you agitated with the young’uns always wanting change?/Well here’s your invite to a group of folks like you and me”

Music Monday – “It’s outbreaks/Caused by stat holidays/A travel ban/When plans are already made”
