Top of my playlist at the moment is this recent release by Hyaena Fierling (aka Ana Cordeiro Reis).

Stating the obvious...
...was a comment levelled against(about?) me many years ago in conversation with a friend. "Always stating the obvious Bob", she said. Oh well...I just find the so-called interesting mundane and the mundane interesting. And the more mundane the better I say. Paths leading nowhere, doorways always shut...kinda like a metaphor for something. Oh dear...there I go again! The obvious...
