Such a shame. Decent bloke, terrific performer. I was looking forward to seeing him late December. Reports in The Guardian and Billboard. Charles Bradleyjames brownmusicOtis Reddingsoul musicSoul of America
Imam Tawhidi on why he believes Palestine is Jewish land
Imam Tawhidi in HuffPost — needless to say the regressive dhimmies will play the “No true Scotsman” card to smear/undermine/dismiss Imam Tawhidi. If we were to briefly review the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a political lens, we would come to find that Palestine has always had the chance of being an independent state of their…
The Neuroscience of Intelligence
A potentially provocative/controversial book that I haven’t read yet but here is Richard Haier being interviewed. Here too is a preview of the book. IntelligenceneuroscienceRichard Haier
As the left surges back, Marxism’s bloody legacy is covered up
Roger Scruton writes in The Spectator. Isn’t it perverse that disingenous regressives blithely walk around with hammer and sickle flags without any damn shame given the body count. Screwtape mentions Eric Hobsbawm — what a damn shit he was. I do think we are at a Darkness at Noon moment. The real purpose of politics is…

This the quality of mind that I want and admire whatever one’s political persuasion.

Bluesin’ By The Bayou: Ain’t Broke, Ain’t Hungry
Terrific compilation that has just been released by the very excellent Ace Records. It seems that it’s up to some very small European labels to keep this amazing history alive. Barbara LynnbluesLazy LesterLightnin’ SlimLouisianamusicroots musicSlim Harpo
Battle of Britain Day
I’ve been reminded by a friend that it is Battle of Britain Day, at least in the dominion of Canada it’s on the third Sunday of September (in the UK it’s commemorated on the 15th). Here is some discussion of Churchill’s famous “finest hour” speech. Listening to Winnie’s wartime speeches one can easily substitute several…
Review of The Sum of Small Things: A Theory of the Aspirational Class
Benjamin Schwarz is perhaps in a class of his own in that his reviews are marvelously entertaining while remaining on point substantively. The danger for books reviewed by him — good, bad, or indifferent — is that his secondary commentary typically outshines the target work. Anyway, the discussion centres on what Jonathan Haidt has termed…
Harry Dean Stanton
It’s puzzling that HDS’s most important film gets relatively short-shrift in so many of the reports on his death. It took someone of the calibre of Dirk Bogarde to make sure that this film got its due recognition. Anyway, here is Roger Ebert’s review and a Guardian reassessment. Wim Wenders’ “Paris, Texas” (1984) is the story…
