The idea for this zine came out of a community radio show we are both involved in: Calon Talks Books. We thought it might be fun to write up all of our book recommendations in one place — and then the remit grew as we thought of more and more articles we could include alongside the book lists. So this edition is our first bash at putting something “out there”. We have no real idea how it will take off or where it will go, but as the show is dedicated to exploring the world of books and reading, this zine will remain true to that spirit — we may reach heights we never even dreamed of while sitting in that hot little studio, scrabbling for the next Richard Thompson track to add to the playlist. Please read, enjoy, and share with your friends. Gwyneth Marshman Paul Jeorrett 3 Reading recommendations In each issue of Bookylicious, we will bring you the books we’ve recommended/discussed on Calon Talks Books in the last few months, from local authors to new writers to old classics.

We usually select tracks that relate to the topics under discussion, but occasionally we like to throw in something wild, weird and unexpected just to mix things up. Enjoy! 5 Scarygirl? More like Scaredygirl! Marie Anne Cope Marie Anne Cope is the author of Bonds, Broken Bonds and Tales From A Scarygirl. The following article comes from her blog Scary Ramblings, and provides an insight into the mind of an author - specifically the fear that comes from sharing one's work for the first time. What is fear? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it is “a feeling of apprehension, distress or alarm caused by impending danger or pain.” Wikipedia gives us a variation, describing fear as “an emotion induced by a perceived threat”, and goes on to say “fear is the ability to recognise danger, leading to an urge to confront it or flee from it”. In essence, fear is a basic survival instinct. It protects us by alerting us to danger and then preparing the body to respond to this danger. Yet how often do we actually find ourselves in a life-or- death situation, where the fight-or-flight response is critical? For most of us, never. Instead, we find ourselves hanging back, dawdling... in a word, procrastinating. I welcome you to my dilemma. As I sit here now, my heart is racing, my breathing is quickening and my blood pressure is elevated. My body is preparing itself for physical action – to fight or to run. But why? A sabre-toothed tiger doesn’t have me trapped in a cave, Freddie Krueger isn’t plaguing my dreams and Michael Myers certainly isn’t my brother (I don’t think!). Yet I am afraid and my body responds in the same way, regardless of what it is I am afraid of. 6 For the longest time I have wanted to write; to explore the deepest recesses of my mind, where monsters roam and evil lurks. But how deep do I go? Dare I push open the rusted iron door and step through into the blackness? Dare I explore the darkest and most despicable depths of my psyche, where a certain kind of magic has taken root? You cannot see it, you cannot touch it, but I assure you it is there. The voices whisper to me in the dark of the night, calling to me, drawing me to my journals, whilst the world sleeps on, oblivious to the danger that prowls inside. What I fear is fear itself. Fear that my resolve will come crashing down. Fear that the walls I have built to protect me from the demons within might crack and crumble as I impart the secrets that I hold. Welcome to my world. How much to share with you I have yet to decide. How much I can trust you can only be proven with the passage of time. Is this why it has taken me so long to write this blog? Perhaps. I want you to know me, to know my words, but are you ready? Are you brave enough to open yourself up to the whispers of a warped and twisted mind? Will we be bonded by what has been or what is to come? Will my ramblings entice you to linger, entice you to share? Oh, would that I had a spell that I may cast, so that I may but know your mind. I must, however, content myself that you have found my words. May fear protect you when the darkness comes. Follow Marie online!

Thomas Hardy Paul Jeorrett The first in a series of articles, with a strong connection between the first few authors in whose steps we might tread. Why start with Thomas Hardy? For many of you, I am sure the first thought that comes to your mind is “his novels are a bit on the bleak side!” Perhaps you even dread them, if you had to do Tess or The Mayor of Casterbridge for GCSE or A-level English Literature. For me it’s personal. From childhood, I remember my grandparents reading Hardy’s novels and poems aloud to each other in front of an open fire. Along with this came a lot of family history and tales of connections with the Hardy family in Dorset. My grandfather was born in Tolpuddle in 1899, and the Hardy family lived only a few miles away: it was a very small world. Reality is often stranger than fiction: would you believe my grandfather’s Aunt Sally was best friends with Thomas Hardy’s sister, Kate Hardy? Aunt Sally even eloped with the village blacksmith: very Hardyesque! Hardy wrote a poem, Farmer They buried him on a Sunday Dunman’s Funeral, about one of So folk might not be balked my distant ancestors: His wish, as 'twas their one day, And forty couples walked. "Bury me on a Sunday" They said to have it Sunday He said, "so as to see Was always his concern, Poor folk there; 'tis their one day His meaning being that one day To spare for burying me." He'd do us a good turn. With forethought of that Sunday We must, had it been Monday, He wrote while he was well, Have got it over soon. "On ten rum bottles one day But now we gain, being Sunday, Drink for my funeral." A jolly afternoon. 8 Farmer Dunman sounds like a nice chap, doesn’t he? Even though the poem is about a funeral, it has a positive message. With all this in my DNA, you might find it surprising that I have rarely visited Dorset and have never been to Hardy’s birthplace – but on a very wet summer’s day in 2015, that all changed. The adventure began when my wife and I took a short break in Litton Cheney and Lulworth Cove Youth Hostels. Litton Cheney is a beautiful village set in a valley that hasn’t changed much in centuries, overlooked by the long barrows and other prehistoric monuments that regularly appear in Hardy’s writing. One thing Hardy does really well is to evoke a feeling for the past and, in many ways, the unchanging nature of the human condition. At one point, waiting for a bus in the driving rain and brooding mist in the middle of rural Dorset, with only sheep for company, we felt plunged into the film set of a Hardy adaptation. Eventually we arrived at Lower Bockhampton, where the National Trust manages Hardy’s Birthplace. Immediately I was surprised at how remote and rural it felt, even though it is only a few miles from Dorchester.

  • Writes of Spring
    On 20 March 2019 we asked people across the UK to capture the arrival of the first official day of spring and help create a crowd-sourced nature diary. More than 400 people did just that from across the four corners of the UK – celebrating this season of colour and the natural world coming to life. The following pages are a selection of the entries curated by the writer Abi Andrews. Introduction n 2018, my spring was spent in a caravan, in a glade in view of Carningli mountain, Itopped by a rocky grey outcrop with purple heathers, confettied below with vivid yellow gorse. The caravan sat within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, in an area that saw an influx of ‘back-to-the-landers’ during the seventies. In it you will find covert, sympathetically built dwellings and cooperative human communities in repurposed farmhouses, lying between woods of bent, blackened oaks, their flamboyant colonies of lichens, and boulders covered with soft and ecstatic mosses. On the moors are strange, stunted Welsh horses, their silhouettes hunched like the simplified animals of Neolithic rock art. Clear spring water gurgles up and silvers everything, running brown through the taps after a heavy rain. At night, owls call to each other. In spring 2019, I was the most attentive to the living world that I have ever been, for the transition of a season. I grew up in suburbia, and moved soon after to a city. Living closer to the land has offered me an anchoring, in noticing the seasons more: the fatigue that comes with winter darkness, the processing of firewood for next year, the harvesting of food — being reminded all the time of the future by preparing for it.

To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him.

  • Who Is "You're So Vain" About? : Reference in Popular Music Lyrics
    WHO IS »YOU'RE SO VAIN« ABOUT? REFERENCE IN POPULAR MUSIC LYRICS Theodore Gracyk »But you do speak of understanding music. … The way music speaks. Do not forget that a poem, even though it is composed in the language of information, is not used in the language- game of giving information.« (Ludwig Wittgenstein 1970: 27) »A song is capable of having several life spans.« (Paul Simon, quoted in Alterman 1970: 38) I. Introduction In an iconic scene in the film Say Anything (1989), Lloyd Dobler stands outside the bedroom of his former girlfriend and lofts a large boom box above his head. Inside the house, Diane Court recognizes the song blaring from the boom box: Peter Gabriel's »In Your Eyes«. Lloyd had played the song for her once before, shortly after they started to date. To understand the movie, one must understand this scene. To understand the scene, one must understand the song, »In Your Eyes«. In addition, one must understand what the charac- ter is doing with the (recorded) song. Lloyd is not inviting Diane to engage in disinterested, appreciative engagement of a piece of music. Instead, Lloyd is using the music to communicate something to Diane. There is no question of understanding a communicative action unless there is also a possibility of misunderstanding it. In this sense, »understand- ing« indicates successful interpretation. If someone thinks that Jimi Hendrix's »Purple Haze« is an early anthem of gay liberation, based on mishearing the lyric »'scuse me while I kiss the sky« as »kiss this guy«, then that interpreta- tion of the Hendrix recording is a misunderstanding.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
