  A great #folkpunk band but not their most folky-punky track (IMO) @timjonesbooks@mastodon.nz #JukeboxFridayNight #birds AJJ - Big Bird https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=rwOerPVbhpQ&si=PELEqcDkhhatm-jI

  Another Leonard Cohen track for #JukeboxFridayNight #birds "Now the swan it floated on the English river..." Leonard Cohen - The Traitor https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=gJVV692Pc6k&si=rlfhPmiab6G25nKn

  Anyone know what bird this feather comes from? I'm having trouble identifying it. It's about 15cm long, found on open farmland, next to a river, in UK West Midlands #askfedi #nature #ukcountryside

  This fabulous song works for both #JukeboxFridayNight #waiting and #alternatefridaymusic #breakup 😁 Billie Holiday - Baby, I don't cry over you https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=P4dZp2NXsXU&si=ttptjmxWxpHBmdm7

  And, prompted by @Tecumseh@mas.to (but a completely different song of the same title) for #JukeboxFridayNight #waiting ... Meatloaf - Heaven can wait https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=VJKm0KxQ2L4&si=7sGGSwAuxG0OXgyF

  Here's one for #JukeboxFridayNight #waiting Violent Femmes - Waiting for the bus https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=OE1jmZC2EJg&si=_mEHBLlGyhDo5eW9

  A couple of doors for #doorsday from my recent #RuthsRoadTrip I love these hidden, neglected kind of doors ... I always want to step through them and see what's on the other side 😊

  Looe beach, last week. #MeerMittwoch #seawednesday #RuthsRoadTrip

• Post #4173734

  So, working backwards through the last 2 weeks of being unable to post photos (due to poor signal) ... here's today's #HolyWell in Trellech, South Wales. Originally dedicated to Annis - celtic goddess of rivers, water, wells, magic, and wisdom (according to a sign at the site - later christianised to St Anne's Well, but also known at The Virtuous Well. Said to cure complaints of the eyes and women's issues (what, it'll cure the patriarchy?) #sacredsites #RuthsRoadTrip #Noma...

  Hooray, I've finally got some signal down here in Cornwall. I've missed y'all 🤩 And since it's still Wednesday (just about), I'll bid you a happy #SeaWednesday / #MeerMittwoch from my car-camping spot on Polzeath beach 🧡

  Some #folkpunk - obviously - for #JukeboxFridayNight #marketsandfairs 😁 Pat the Bunny - Song for a supermarket parking lot https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=3iwEvaLOfCQ&si=2vNOWX19kKq2JWAy

• Post #3879193

  And while we're on Eddi Reader ... this one is the wrong use of the word 'fair' for #marketsandfairs but ... I'm a bit of a rebel, so deal with it 😉 Eddi Reader - That's Fair #JukeboxFridayNight https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=93YDlCq32ss&si=NfzPuHY7ThZ9I0NL

• Post #3878948

  I was momentarily stumped for #marketsandfairs for #JukeboxFridayNight .... but of course, I knew Eddi Reader wouldn't let me down! Fairground Attraction, with a track called Fairground Attraction https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=igtEOYKCAv0&si=vMVuoX7IrMcNCTL-

  SO EXCITED that I'm off to see the sea today ... first stop, Sand Bay on the Severn estuary (where the shot below was taken), and then Cornwall 💙💙💙 Even more exciting ... the reason I'm going is to pick up my new van 🥳 Expect lots more pictures, and not only for #SeaWednesday #MeerMittwoch

  And I hope I'm not stretching the remit of #CloseToOurHearts #JukeboxFridayNight to include this one that brilliantly articulates the intoxicating feeling of falling in love ... 🎵We walk through the streets Like lottery winners on acid Everything she say I was thinking anyway🎵 The Crimea - Lottery Winners on Acid https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CivjQLkGSbI&si=GMyuQ63_wYnt5MVJ

• Post #3710767

  And then there's this one for #JukeboxFridayNight #CloseToOurHearts Leonard Cohen - Humbled in Love There's this family mythology that I used to wander around singing this at 3 years old ... a lovely and funny image, that i treasure. However, I recently discovered this track wasn't released until 1979, when i was 8, so 🤷🏼‍♀️ https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=KQlSwzHTEss&si=36gd2HCrpvZzyyd9

• Post #3710611

  My first choice for #JukeboxFridayNight #closetoourhearts is this #folkpunk track, which I adore for the tenderness and empathy in the lyrics ... Ramshackle Glory - Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist 🎵Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist Keep on loving, keep on fighting And hold on, hold on Hold on for your life🎵 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=rt8CU9agvU0&si=KWORdOfVosIBuHrQ

  And just to round it out with a bit of #swing this one came to mind for #JukeboxFridayNight #stereotypes 🎵 A woman is a creature That has always been strange Just as you're sure of one You find she's gone and made a change 🎵 Excuse me? 🤔 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=b3S8HSU3Xus&si=H7y3BtyehGCJR9T1

• Post #3405118

  I feel I've been a bit slack on the #folkpunk lately, so here's one for #JukeboxFridayNight ... I've definitely met a few of these 12-step #stereotypes (alongside many great people) https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=KKclBgisCMA&si=GpVjefDx7Pwgev4U

• Post #3405044

  Thought I'd better get in quick with this classic for #jukeboxfridaynight #stereotypes 😁 #2tone https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=2CbiitRoULg&si=OYPr9rX9gtEQP8EZ

• Post #3330704

  #tunetuesday Thought I was having a little timeline glitch there and we'd already had #musicaboutmusic last week, but no, it was a similar theme on #JukeboxFridayNight that confused me! Anyway, here's one I forgot to post on Friday ... https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=o-0ygW-B_gI&si=WS9-MxLctXaQHMpq

  Argh, how did I end up living so far away from the sea? I need to see her! #seawednesday #meermittwoch #photography #Morocco

  #musicwomenwednesday A devastatingly honest song, in my opinion. And very beautiful. "It's how I had to leave; It's how I longed to stay" https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=W-7CDTGiD2Y&si=inpsBDrljalgVXBc

• Post #2493420

  I do like to sneak a bit of #folkpunk in wherever I can 😁 so how about this for #tunetuesday #windowsanddoors "Catch me smashing my own windows When I'm feeling nuts It's alright, it's okay It's just that everything's fucked" https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=VgG-wGmFxvg&si=YVzpN3cyHFNBb8s4

  Good morning 😊 I never would have guessed the #WindowFriday hashtag, but since I found it, I'm down with that 😁 And here's my first submission, my bedroom window on my first day in Taghazout, Morocco, 1st March 2026 💙 #photography #travel #seaside #photofriday #fridaywindow

  One from the archives for #PhotoMonday I love this shot, taken - more by chance than any great skill or patience - on solstice dawn at Stonehenge, June 2022 #photography #photographyart #dawn #solstice #Stonehenge #NewAgeTravellerCommunity #nomad #nomadism

  My #silentsunday #sunset was actually quite noisy with skylarks nesting in the grass and sheep baaa-ing gently in the background! #photography #landscapephotography #birds #nature #ukcountryside
