Today's is all about , but fortunately we've been told that it doesn't have to be a rock song. Which is a relief. I'm far too delicate for big rock sounds.

Here instead is a video I've posted before, but not for a couple of months. And I'll keep reposting because everyone needs to watch it. Yes, I know it's ten minutes long. I still insist. It's great. And it has a superbly dramatic, boisterous, clogdancetastic ending.

The Unthanks - For Today I Am A Boy - years ago I part randomly caught The Unthanks live at Glasgow's Mitchell Library, they performed a set of miner's music and historical stuff related, with the audience predictably hissing at mention of She Who Should Not Be Named. I bought a couple of CDs, including their collection of covers of songs by Robert Wyatt/Antony and the Johnsons. This piece always strikes me as a really lovely version.

A blissful song about pigeons and hope by the divine Unthanks and the Brighouse and Rastrick, because it's lovely.

Just discovered the Rachel and Becky Unthank "A Very English Winter" - aired 10 years ago now. Excellent viewing. A fascinating intersection between British tradition, and weird / dark / pagan underlying themes that would nowadays probably be considered to be within the realms of . A great watch!

Sorrows Away, the beguiling new album by The Unthanks. Hoping it’ll encourage me to stop noodling about on here and get some work done!
Any other Unthanks fans out there?

A song to play to anyone who tries to tell you that class politics and the proletariat is and was all about old white men. A with lyrics from a young woman working in the NE England coalmines in the 1840s.

You want ? Here's your intersectionality.

Try not to tear up while listening at either "what's the use, tomorrow will be just the same" or "at least you tried."
