First heard this on a John Peel festive compilation, which along with the Bhundu Boys song always makes me think of Christmas. Well, If Lawrence was in control of Christmas. He really should be. One of my favourite songs evah. 🎧

I was looking up the Cliff Richard Wuthering Heights and found some clips. I laughed so hard I cried and have not stopped laughing. A clip. I really tried not to laugh. The boat remains a mystery.

Death snuffs out a candle and looks at you as if to say, "You're next."

[Juan de Valdés Leal, In Ictu Oculi ("In the Blink of an Eye"), 1670-72, Oil on canvas, 220 x 216 cm Hospital de la Caridad, Seville 🎃💀]
"The In Ictu Oculi (an allegory of death) presents the triumph of the grim reaper, who sweeps into the picture as an imposing figure. One skeletal foot stands on the globe, while the other stands on armaments, the trappings of office and insignia of power. Under his arm, he carries a coffin and in his hand a scythe. As his right hand snuffs out the life-light represented by the candle, he stares at the spectator from the very depths of his empty eye-sockets." (WGA)

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.
What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon. upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.
