Fantastic song on a fantastic album. Not sure what else to say.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever!

Everything about this song and album. A friend of mine put me on to this and I still remember the night I listened to the whole thing. Life altering shit!!! A no-skips album.
The freedom your being sold is just submission
Wanna keep you content and under supervision
They got you convinced that ignorance is bliss in
Some ever-changing mind
Erasing human condition
I donât have time to worry about if I am trapped and if thereâs any way out
I donât have time

Particularly, the Peel Session version. I listen to this most days before work, Mark E. Smith was always able to create this bleak atmosphere, pulling all the annoying things from the mundane. All punk seems like a charade in comparison to this, this is the only song that matters sometimes, all that anger.

TWOÂ Â SLABS OF CLASSIC DOWNTOWN MINIMALISM FROM THE LONG TIME PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE MEMBER.Â
I WRITE THIS TO YOU STATIONED AT AN ALBANIAN CAFE IN TORONTOâS EAST END. THEY HAVE MASSIVE 4K SCREENS SHOWING THE PRODUCTION OF SAVORY CRĂPES IN GROTESQUE DIGITAL DETAIL. THERE IS AN EDM COVER OF LINKIN PARKâS âNUMBâ PLAYING. WHAT A HIDEOUS DESCRIPTION.Â
BUT I RETURN DAILY.Â
THEY PULL ESPRESSO SHOTS WITH CREMA THAT IS SO THICK YOU COULD DROP A MARBLE ONTO IT AND IT WOULD STRETCH DOWN SIX INCHES WITHOUT BREAKING AND THROW THE MARBLE BACK AT YOU WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT IT WOULD HIT YOU IN THE FACE AND LEAVE AN EXIT WOUND THE SIZE OF A COOKIE AT THE BACK OF YOUR SKULL.Â
BUT TODAY I NEED TO FOCUS. SO I PUT ON JON GIBSONâS âTWO SOLO PIECESâ.Â
GIBSON WAS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE. THIS WAS RELEASED ON PHILâS CHATHAM SQUARE LABEL IN 1978.Â
THE FIRST SIDE, âCYCLESâ IS A LONG, IMMENSE AND ENVELOPING DRONE PIECE PERFORMED ON A CHURCH ORGAN.  PLAY IT LOUD ENOUGH AND IT WILL RE-PLASTER YOUR WALLS.Â
SIDE TWO IS AN UNTITLED SOLO EXCURSION ON ALTO FLUTE THAT WANDERS, LOOPS, CYCLES AND DANCES LIKE AN ARPEGGIATED SYMPHONY OF THOSE THOUGHT BUBBLES THAT APPEAR IN THE LIMINAL PRE-DREAM SLUMBER ZONE.Â
MUSIC TO GET LOST IN.Â
MUSIC THAT DOESNâT MOVE. Â
NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY. JUST PUT IT ON.Â
PLAY SIDE ONE VERY LOYD.Â
TURN SIDE TWO DOWN TO THE LEVEL WHERE IT IS BARELY AUDIBLEâŠJUST ABOVE THE THRESHOLD OF AUDIBILITY.Â
PREPARE GREEN TEA, BUT NOT LIKE A BLOODY AMERICAN. USE LOOSE LEAF. STEEP ONLY MOMENTARILY IN WATER THAT IS JUST BELOW THE BOILING POINT. THE ENTIRE GOAL IS TO SIMPLY STAIN THE WATER WITH TEA. THATâS IT. STOP DOING SO MUCH. STOP GOING OVERBOARD. RELAX. YOU ARE DOING TOO MUCH. YOU ARENâT AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR OVERPAID THERAPIST MAKES YOU THINK ARE. THIS IS A GOOD THING.Â
HOW CAN YOU BE A MAIN CHARACTER IN A PICTURE STARRING AN ENSEMBLE CAST OF THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF HUMANITY?Â
REST IN PEACE JON GIBSON.Â

I'm not obsessed with it but it's always sweet when the barista does something cool. This one yesterday made me smile because after seeing a few others I realised the guy was doing Pokémon! Fairly certain mine is mew or Mewtwo, I saw him do a horsea, pikachu, and squirtle too...

Koudelka was a photographer who documented Europe from the 60s onwards, recording the lives of travelling people, Soviet invasions, struggles with poverty, and more. He later became a member of the Magnum society and continued his work into old age. If you have the time, it's really worth digging into his work as he had a real eye for striking images that provide a lot of context for the situation he was in. He used to travel with very little besides a sleeping bag and camera so he often experienced the harsher side of life while on the job. At times his photos were smuggled out of the soviet borders, and published anonymously, to keep him safe. Check the link for a good starting point on Magnum's website!
