The Front Yard (Monday 7th July 2025)

Butterflies have recently discovered the Old Forge. The other day there were two peacocks in the porch, frantically flying repeatedly into a window but rejecting all my attempts to steer them outdoors. This morning there were three butterflies on the walls of the front yard at the same time  - a tortoiseshell, a peacock and this red admiral. The commonest visitors are the large whites and green-veined whites. I took this as a memento.

Lozarithm's Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Glass Beams - Mahal (Live At Glastonbury) (recorded live, June 2025)
"The genesis for the Melbourne-based trio, which formed around founding member Rajan Silva, was through the rekindling of childhood memories relating to his father, who emigrated to Melbourne from India in the late 1970's. Silva recalled watching a DVD on repeat with his father; ‘Concert for George’, a star-studded tribute to late Beatles member George Harrison performed at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2002, featuring legendary Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar with daughter Anoushka, alongside Western icons Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and ELO’s Jeff Lynne. This intersection of musical styles was reflected in the record collection of Silva's father, where the sounds of iconic Bollywood vocalists Asha Bhosle and the Mangeshkar lineage sat alongside music from blues legends like B.B. King and Muddy Waters. In particular, Silva was drawn to the fusion of Western musical styles and traditional Indian music; a concept pioneered by Indian artists like R.D. Burman, Ananda Shankar, and fraternal duo Kalyanji-Anandji." - Bandcamp
Catching up on Glastonbury on the iPlayer I discovered Glass Beams, a little like Khruangbin.
