With Champagne you could have not just ‘a day in a life’ … but more importantly ‘a life in a day’.

This is ‘The Road to Hana’ … just not the one that everyone else travels on … maybe because a different part of it is ‘giving way to the Ocean’?

Disruption isn’t new. Disruption isn’t always about Silicon Valley. Disruption isn’t ’American’. Imagine the disruption to people’s lives in the tiny hamlet of Akaroa when this was installed in 1901.

You might not think of wine as fabric, but with the right wine in the right hands, it can be just that … if not the very foundation of ‘good society’. Clearly the French agree. You just have to read the label.
🎵 Back in the day, a gentleman by name of Pete Frame produced two stunning 📚books … Rock Family Trees. Hand drawn ‘family trees’ of Rock Giants at the time.
I know of Theo Travis because of his work over the years with Steven Wilson, but also as a performer in his own right and then most recently with Soft Machine, which is how he came to write 🖇️ John Marshall’s obit’.
Family Trees tend to be very hierarchical, so I plugged the two threads together and then added 50 years of humanity.
‘Hierarchy’ is old school. ‘Networked’ is new school’.
How cool would it be to choose (say) 50 musicians like Theo and build networks of
- the people he has played with (studio and live) as
- one offs or over a prolonged period of time and
- inside bands and as a solo artist
It needs to be someone like Theo … a wide enough eclectic career to be interesting but not so overwhelming it becomes meaningless. For example someone like Bowie would just be a page of lines.

🔗 Russell Brand: In Plain Sight review – so many red flags ignored for so long.
From demeaning sexual remarks on radio to offering his assistant naked to Jimmy Savile, every disturbing detail of this cogent documentary makes it mind-boggling that these alleged abuses have taken so long to surface.
Exactly.

Our first promotion of Stop Child Traffic was as intense as the intense chocolates that made up the floor prizes at the IIW. But nowhere near as intense as the next three years.
P.S. … we know the chocolates were intense … it says so, right there on the packet.
I am no fan of Brand … as I have 🖇️ 🔎 previously touched on … so this comes as no surprise. Of course, I have no idea of the truth and we don’t yet know the story … but where there’s smoke etc etc.
