Late I Am, Blame it on Fate

Or not, maybe

Starting with Esther’s fun run.

Here’s a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is CHEW 

Today I use these words to make a roux
Something new and tasty for you to chew 
With no direction my brain silently cries
Not my best answer but I'll give it a try
If you don't like it, well boo-hoo-hoo

What is this ?

WD
Torschlusspanik - toɐ̯ʃlʊsˈpanɪk
Noun - The fear that time to act is running out.
German, 1960s

Staying in tune with limericks today
I try to make sense while I still play
Torschlusspanik is just Greek to me
Time is slowly running out you see
The fear of this is nothing new to me

WORD DAILY PART DUX

WD X2

WD 
Psychagogic - ¦sīkə¦gäjik
Adjective - Attractive, persuasive, inspiring.
Greek, mid-19th century

Another word that is new for me
You are Psychagogic this I can see
I serenade you with song and wine
Letting you know I think you are fine
Come here baby and sit on my knee

Beatles biopics stars seen faithfully recreating iconic moment we’ve all been waiting for

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://metro.co.uk/2026/08/16/beatles-biopics-stars-seen-faithfully-recreating-iconic-moment-waiting-29391508/

Dead Can Dance – Spiritchaser (1996, Australia/UK)

Our next spotlight is on number 308 on The List, submitted by owlyph.

Originally founded in 1981 out of Australia’s experimental post-punk Little Band[1] scene (and, I suppose, New Zealand’s punk rock[2] scene) and then finding a home in UK’s goth scene, within a couple of albums Dead Can Dance found the lush, instantly recognizable sound that would make core duo Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry the Queen and King of neoclassical darkwave. And that sound – with Gerrard’s stunning vocals channelling the “abstract vocabulary that lies within the collective unconscious”[3] over the varied shiny sounds the pair had collected from all corners of the world like sonic magpies – is what we hear on this, their meditative seventh studio album and last release prior to their first hiatus (1998 to 2005). (It’s also the group’s first album released after Gerrard began her solo career, having just released her debut The Mirror Pool the previous year.)

And so, if you are familiar with any Dead Can Dance from about 1985 on, there will be no surprises here – you’re in for a chill, gorgeous ride around the globe. The weirdest thing about this album? Apparently one sound that might have been unconsciously collected is a short bit in the third track, “Indus”, which, due to blink-and-you’ll-miss-it similarity to The Beatles’ “Within You Without You” (from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band), the group was pressured into crediting George Harrison as a co-writer. As per Gerrard:

“We don’t know whether we stole it or not. We probably did, but who the hell knows?…It wasn’t deliberate, because we didn’t remember the record. I’m really unfamiliar with the Beatles’ work…musicologists are saying, ‘Oh, the first six notes are the same.’ So we had to contact George Harrison, who didn’t give a damn, frankly. He was gardening at the time. He said ‘Oh, I like that piece of music. It’s OK.’ But the [record company] pushed it, So we had to give credit to Harrison on the thing, which seems really bizarre.”[4]

And so, though we at 1001 Other Albums are known elsewhere on the Internets for not liking the Beatles,[5] I suppose with this spotlight I’m indirectly suggesting you also listen to a Beatles album. Because I don’t give a damn, frankly, and only wish someone will one day say of me in regards to a supposedly controversial moment: ‘they were gardening at the time’.

Isn’t it a Pity

“Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we’re all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can’t hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn’t it a pity”

Die Kritik hat mit diesem Meisterwerk der Phantasie damals nicht viel anfangen können. Doch das hat niemanden von uns davon abgehalten, diesen Film lebenslänglich zu lieben. Und jede:r von uns hat eine andere Geschichte darüber. Für mich ist er vermutlich eines der größten Geschenke, das ARTE uns dieses Jahr überhaupt machen konnte… (ARTE, Wh)
