Nick Cave Alone - The Mercy Seat

Nick Cave's cover of his own song is even better than Johnny Cash's cover. Starts here:
Johnny Cash:
The 2010 remastered studio recording:
I prefer the original to any of the covers, which is fitting, in a way, because he was and is an electrician by trade, or at least that's what I'm told, ...
And he's a snappy dresser too:
So is Lana Del Rey:
People were doing some really fucking awful things, and the reporters at The Guardian know quite a lot about it: Nick Cave Alone Utterly Magnetic. See Summer Bummer and Toby on Love and Physics. And how did I get the idea in 2018 that my daughter had a gap year in the USA? Was that just a figment of my drug-addled mind? See Lana Del Rey On Writing and Knowing When It's Done and then Lana Del Rey. As my friend Max Burt said to me once: this lettuce is tired! Max had the damnedest accident, you know. He was driving down Oxford St. in London WC1, I think, and you know how Oxford St. is one-way and has a dozen traffic lights that are never in synch? Well, as he went through one of them, he was hit broadside by a speeding fire engine. Somehow he survived, but he was paraplegic and he died a few years later. Simon and Jennifer Thornton took me to see him once, after the accident. I don't know why. Max was not very happy. I suppose they were warning me to be careful driving around Westminster City, ...  [No idea why I wrote Victoria instead of Oxford first time]

Five Crooks Run 70% of UK Media

See also  this brief summary , and  The Eastern Arm of Iran-Contra  because the Soros ERM rip-off was only a small part of the story which involves BCCI and goes back to the 1953 coup d'etat in Iran ordered by the Anglo Persian Oil Company (which later became British Petroleum) and organised by the CIA. See  my comments on YouTube  and  Hannah Arendt on Revolution and Technology . So, get back in touch with your German girlfriends lads, because all the journalists are either working for News Corp. or they're in the street outside with their arms chained to concrete pipes and they're not going be any fucking use at all!  Extinction Rebellion UK ,  XR Trying To Mobilise the Working Class and Talking About Non-violent Direct Action . Let's see if we can work out what George Soros is doing in New York: If you think that's a rip-off, what about this:  See  Princess Basmah Bint Saud  and  How Fortunes Are Destroyed .

Noam Chomsky Laying America's Woes at the Feet of Civil Libertarians

I don't know who these mysterious and criminally lazy Civil Libertarians are. Does he mean people like Nancy Pelosi? See  my comment on YouTube : I'm impressed! So what gives private interests the power to, say, shut down a publisher just because they printed a book? Why couldn't those authors just have their books published by other independent imprints? Because they had sold the rights to the publisher who had sold them on to a shell company that was never going to print them and to fight those cases in [courts] would have cost tens of millions and taken years and because there were hardly any other small publishers around anyway and their publicity budgets were so small compared to the big publishers like Elsevier etc that they were hardly publishing at all. So the problem is abuse of the power of money. And just look at what Hunt was doing manipulating the press in the early sixties to get Johnson elected after JFK was assassinated, ... So this is Chomsky defending his

Not Enough Bandwidth to Watch Video

This is how it was in 2017. See  Zuckerberg Fakebook ,  Countdown To Socialism ,  Michelle Obama on Empathy and Knowing Shit  and  On Google and Stanford University's Unwholesome Relationship with the US Intelligence "Community . I wonder what the sky over LA looked like the morning after the AA batteries put up two flack barrages in the early hours, a few days after this: See: Justifying the tons of spent and unspent ordinance dumped onto LA residents that night was an easy enough bit of reportage for the LA Times: The speciality of George H.W. Bush & Co's Zapata Oil Company was offshore drilling. See  The Eastern Arm of Iran-Contra . I can't watch this right now. It's sure to be interesting though: Lori also did another piece on Elon Musk today which I am not going to watch. But I did listen to this: Letting an asshole like Elon Musk launch his teddy-bear into space would be stupidly irresponsible. Somebody at the USAF is going to be court-martialled for thi
