Jon Hancock<p>I've been listening to Spiers &amp; Boden's album "Fallow Ground" recently. The first track is a great version of the Australian folk song "Bluey Brink". Jon Boden added the following note about the song:</p><p>"A gem from the repertoire of Peter Bellamy and our first foray into the world of Australian folk song. Please note that drinking sulphuric acid will not make your beard catch fire, except at the subsequent cremation."</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/p7kjv65IEzU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/p7kjv65IEzU</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Folk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Folk</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FolkMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FolkMusic</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a></p>

My hosting plan for Adobe & Teardrops expires on Monday and I won't be renewing it. I've started a second job on top of my day job and Rainbow Rodeo is feeling like a very urgent project right now. I haven't been able to devote the time necessary to keep Adobe & Teardrops running, so as difficult as it is to say, it's time to let her go.

Stay in touch and sign up for the @RainbowRodeo@lgbtqia.space newsletter. Thank you for fourteen years of support.

Gave a concert with my duo Akleja yesterday evening very locally, only a one hour drive from home - which means I was able to spend some time in my garden before heading out! This is the life, folks! I love playing local gigs, what a dream ❤️

Wishing you a good weekend and that you can make some time to listen to a piece of music in silence, go for a walk and smell some flowers 🌟🌷

Australian band reunite to celebrate 15 years since breakthrough debut
By Jared Richards

Cloud Control are reuniting to celebrate 15 years of debut album Bliss Release — the hazy, psych-folk that dominated 2010s airwaves and won the Australian Music Prize.

In his last few outings, John Calvin Abney has brought us to vast new solar systems of cosmic music, but Shortwaving is a return to earth of sorts. The EP is one half blues and one half meditative jam. Shortwaving is world-weary but beautiful: no matter how many punches Abney takes, there is still a sense of wonder about the twists and turns of the journey.
