Walk the good earth
Everything falls apart and comes back together again
Behold the cloud of unknowing
Be here now
The dog, the dog, he's at it again
Brighton bloke
It was ragged and naive, it was heaven
When God made Man She was only testing

Beyond and Before from Yes' eponymous first album (1969)
Bass and melody driven album, a certain euphoria and optimism permeates the album. A slew of ground breaking 70s albums followed; personally I lost them after Going for the One.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Peter Gabriel from first solo album aka Car (1977)
Slightly bonkers opener, by no means the best track on the album but a curious story about a town taken over by ergot poisoning from contaminated rye bread. Ergotamine is an LSD precursor.

Why is Labour giving Trump a free pass to break international law?
We know what happens when US Presidents launch illegal wars. It’s why the Liberal Democrats opposed the Iraq War and it’s why we condemn Trump’s law-breaking in Venezuela today.

You can check online if a train is delayed, even by just five minutes.
And this – in a country at a full-scale war for almost four years.
