Skysurfin

A very old melody from Brittany (French Cornwall): lyrics in Breton language and music played on a B flat bombard.
--
Une très ancienne mélodie du Finistère (Bretagne) : les paroles sont en breton bien sûr et l'air est joué sur une bombarde en SI bémol.

"We also have “Mimicked Notion #3” by The Next Commuter, which blew me away, if I can be honest? I hope to work more with Hans Thomas in the new year and would love to have some new music from him to present from WAAG ... that’s my Christmas wish anyway!" - Thomas (We Are All Ghosts Netlabel)

Mimicked Notion #3

Energetic Techno Dance.mp3

Publications are the game, but who's keeping score?
Editors with the keys, always wanting more.
"Your work’s not relevant," they claim with a sigh,
While your spirit, piece by piece, starts to die.

Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They turn us to weepers.
Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the creepers.

In pursuit of a job, where research can take flight,
"Come back with more," they say, holding the spotlight.
But it's a catch-22, in the thick of the fight,
Left with no choice but another postdoc, despite.

Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.
Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.

Promotions on the line, but the path is unclear,
Deans with their power, fueling the fear.
"You don't have enough citations," they insist,
Neglecting our work, as if it doesn’t exist.

Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.
Gatekeepers, mucking gatekeepers,
They're the grim reapers.
