On Thursday, April 3rd we'll be hosting Boff Whalley, a founding member of the anarcho-punk / folk band Chumbawamba, on tour with his new book "BUT: Life Isn't Like That, Is It?" It's a book about stories, and a book of stories, in which Boff explores how the tales we encounter in films, novels, and plays aren't the same as the ones we experience in the real world, and how disruptions stop our lives from following simple narratives.

For folks who aren't able to join us in-person, this event will also be livestreamed at youtube.com/c/FirestormCoop (no registration necessary).

Find more about this event, and copies of "BUT: Life Isn't Like That, Is It?" check out the event page at firestorm.coop/events/3345-bof

People who followed my old account on folksocial.org might remember the idea of Strileye Spyann - getting all the Tri Yann and Steeleye Span music you can together in one play list and hitting shuffle. I have a new idea which I’m going to test on tomorrow’s trip to Welney: Chumbabella - the same thing but Chumbawamba x Blowzabella… I’ll let you know how it goes (unless it drives my passenger to do me in, in which case it has been nice knowing y’all)

A conversation with the 2-person poetry group has me gathering old books It's a shame David Noble died in 2010, would be great to o see him take on the LLM hype bubble craze.
The conversation prompted me to discover _ #SongOf TheLuddites _ and see that #Chumbawamba did a version.
> The guilty may fear but no vengeance he aims
At the honest man's life or estate
His wrath is entirely confined to wide frames
And to those that would prices abate

Digital Camera photo of 5 books: _Progress Without People: In Defense of Luddism_ by David Noble, _Technopoly: the Surrender of Culture to Techonology_, _Cult of Information: a Neo-Luddite Treatise on High-Tech, Artificial Intelligence, and the True Art of Thinking_ by Theodore Roszak, along with an English edition and Japanese translation of _The Monkeywrench Gang_ (爆破) by Edward Abbey. The _Progress Without People_ books has n image of cogs, gears jumbled together or piled up in unworkable complexity bringing to mind a Charlie Chaplin movie. _Technopoly_ has 4 different images on the cover, an open book with pages that seem to be moving, a transister(? part of a motherboard?), a color photo(?) of a blue sky of with whispy clouds over a green plain with some trees, and a left hand open with palm facing the viewer. _Monkey Wrench Gang_ has color photo of the Grand Canyon of someplace in the USA West that you might see during the road trip in _Thelma and Louise_... You can only see the back three-fourths or so but the Roszak book has an image of Sphinx that looks like it was assembled with old computers, a old TV-looking monitor is the head.
Digital Camera photo of inside dedication pages of four books_Progress Without People: In Defense of Luddism_ by David Noble, _Technopoly: the Surrender of Culture to Techonology_, _Cult of Information: a Neo-Luddite Treatise on High-Tech, Artificial Intelligence, and the True Art of Thinking_ by Theodore Roszak, along with an English edition of _The Monkeywrench Gang_ by Edward Abbey. Abbey's bookpage has 'IN MEMORIAM: Ned Ludd ... a lunatic living about 1779, who in a fit of rage smashed up two frames belonging to a Leicestershire "stockinger." ---- The Oxford Universal Dictionary' followed by 'Down with all kings but King Ludd. --- Byron'. Postman's bookpage has 'Whether or not it draws on new scientific research, technology is a branch of moral philosophy, nt of science. PAUL GOODMAN, New Reformation' Noble's book page has a black and white photo of the author himself 'holding Enoch's Hammer, the only Luddite sledgehammer still in existence' while standing in front of a sturdy wooden worktable. The big sledehammers seems to be all wood. I guess the photo was taken while preparing for the Smithsonian exhibitions _Automation Madness_ before the event was cancelled and the author/planner fired '(see page 144)' of the book. Roszak's book page quotes 3 verses of a 'Nineteenth century Luddite song quoted in E.P. Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class.' https://politicalfolkmusic.org/blog/chumbawamba/general-ludds-triumph/ Chumbawambe did a version
