It’s like Tim Minchin says, “Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy” (though in this case, I’d say “Amazing Grace” is of the few religious songs that totally transcends its genre into an all-time classic, no matter your atheistic leanings!) 😉 Garth was good but this is […]

Elizabeth Was *Not* Ready For The Revolution
I’ve read a lot of articles and commentary about the attempted coup at the US Capitol a couple weeks ago but this might be my single most favourite thing to come out of it: Doubly so for this remix (don’t normally link to Instagram but hard to find it on YouTube and Twitter – maybe […]

“Covid Christmas” – Dara Schindelka
Secular Sunday – Judgement on Covid-19 (HEAVY METAL Kenneth Copeland Remix)
I can’t decide whether to use this on Secular Sunday or Music Monday! And honestly, I’m a big fan of science and logic. But do I not also sometimes wonder how much more interesting life might be if I believed this kind of loony-bird bullshit? Like imagine being somebody who watches the guy on the […]
