Ted Talk of the Week
Well worth watching. ‘We tend to fixate on what’s true or false…but the biggest concern is the weaponisiation of context. Because the most effective disinformation has a kernel of truth to it …’
Feeding Wolves
Again, this is a great name for a song. I must remember the line Feeding Wolves. Anyhoo, this morning a thought popped into my head and this is the gist of it. I, Auriol Joy, will no longer indulge in thoughts about people, experiences or things in the past that no longer serve me. Or […]

The Queen is a Reptile
‘I know what it’s like to be around someone and feel at peace…’ I said. ‘If what you are saying is that this won’t work out, take your things and leave.’ Leaving was easy as I packed while he slept. In less than two minutes I was in my car driving. No looking back, no […]
New Music: Something’s Gotta Change
New music that’s actually old. You know how it goes with us musicians, forever writing music or thinking about music. Yeah, something’s gotta change – in my life dammit. Take a listen – Andre Scheepers was involved in this mix.
