Rock Goes Opera
Introduction This is a sort of follow-up to my piece on artists who took classical music and tried to hammer it in ways that the original composer never intended. You can read that here before you go on to explore this piece of mine.

Light Up The Sky
This is my response to Chloe Rose Violet's Song promt. You are supposed to pick a song, and tell your own story through it. At least that's the interpretation I took from it. Maybe you will find your own! This is her original post if you would like to check it out.

A Playlist For A Rainy Day
Introduction Today's weather is dreich and dark and rainy. It is also cold, so hardly inspirational, but there is a lot of music that addresses rain, so I thought I might share a few favourites of mine that will brighten anyone's day, even days like this.

The Default Language Of Pop Music
I was not sure how to title this but I knew what I wanted to say. Essentially the English expect everyone to be able to understand them by having English as a second language. It's a spill out from Imperialism where a lot of people seem to think it still exists. You see so much that is skewed towards English despite Mandarin being the most spoken language in the world.

A Short Stop At The Skipton Sound Bar
Introduction A few years back ( probably more than a few) we discovered the Skipton Sound Bar. Back then it was essentially a second-hand music shop with a small bar and they were always playing Jeff Wayne's "War Of The Worlds", not a favourite of mine. At the time my vinyl collection was smaller than it is now and I managed to lay my hands on an original of Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" complete with the full broadsheet newspaper cover. According to the band, putting together the newspaper took more time and effort than the actual album, which is still very good.
