Crow Flies

This is track four of #YearoftheyoB 

The passing of Margaret Thatcher this month reminds us all what happens when you privatise things that should be publicly run. Our education system is on its knees and its the future generations that will suffer. Instead of using it as a political stick to bash each other over the head with. Why the fuck can politicians (with expert help) not decide on a long term plan and stick to it. Leaving it to be run by people that know what they are doing. 

The artwork this month is made by J Maizlish Mole (@MarseilleFigs). Not only is his drawing incredible. He writes some wonderful songs too. Go wander round his website for a bit www.jmaizlish.com

HeShe

This is track 6 of YearoftheyoB 

I'm not gonna lie. This month has crept up on me. Maybe its mid year complacency. Or it could be something to do with not being able to count properly. But as promised. At the end of every month. There is a free piece of music for 200 people. 

This months release celebrates some of the idioms i grew up with. I hope there is one that you recognise. 

Once again the track is produced, recorded, mixed and mastered lovingly by Ben Standage (@gotmics). Features the warm glow of The JJ Horns (@TheJJHorns) and the dulcet tones of Bridgette Amofah (@BridgetteAmofah) 

This months artwork is bought to you by Ross Platt.

Saying Goes

Here it is. Number nine in the #YearoftheyoB series. 

I have often toyed with writing a letter and posting it to myself. Hoping that when it arrives I can read the contents objectively. Like a diary but more formal. 
Because it would be impossible to reply it might be easier to accept what was written down.

The Red And The Blue

We live in a society where we are forced to think about doG. Even if we choose not to believe. 
There are countless faiths that demand our attention and respect. Even if they contravene basic human rights. 
Women are perpetually put down. Wars are started. Yet to this day there is still no hard evidence that doG exists. 

I think its time we asked religion to leave our governments, schools and places of work. So people can decide what is right and wrong.

doG Song

I've spent a long time thinking about gender bias. More often than not I find myself siding with men just because I am one. 
95%* of the awful shit that happens around the world is down to the male species. 
What if we just backed off and let women have a go at running the world. 

*This is a statistic i use in the pub. I made it up. 

I have made everything myself this month. Because i am an island and I don't need any help. I wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered and even did the artwork. So there......
