Aw, this is a very cute video! Thanks to @Homestead for sharing!

I love Fairytale of New York, but always felt a bit uncomfortable with the homophobic slur. Very grateful to Grace Petrie for providing a version with an alternative line: https://youtu.be/cBwqjwB6Skk?si=rcPO0LyxSgxiglQI
(also the pandemic-era video is very nostalgic in all the right ways)
Just a reminder. It’s worth having hope. And it’ll be worth continuing the fight regardless of the result next Thursday.
On a related note #GracePetrie's "The Best Country in the World" is outstanding
"We must keep all for ourselves, our empty supermarket shelves
Our overcrowded prison cells, our classrooms crumbling to bits
Striking doctors, striking teachers and no railway lines to reach us
We would fight them on the beaches, but the beach is full of shit
But the beach is full of shit"

Hey all, #GracePetrie has posted over on other social media asking people to buy the new album #BuildSomethingBetter before charts close on Thursday. I'll try to copy some of her words here:
"In order of helpfulness, here are THE BEST WAYS to support the chart attempt: Get the CD or vinyl from my webstore:

Listening to #GracePetrie as I go. #buildsomethingbetter
Sorry, I’ve not had a lot to say recently, and most of my posts have been the same. But, honestly, go listen to #BuildSomethingBetter #GracePetrie
An impassioned cry for change, an expression of outrage and call for solidarity. In a year of elections, where the right feel attacking workers, minorities, women and anyone else not in riding a wave of their privilege, this is the rallying call we need.
It’s perfect. https://deezer.page.link/78Vp8UeN93ootC2c6
Yay! Release day! #GracePetrie #buildsomethingbetter in my sticky mitts. Remember folks, #buyphysicalmedia
Meanwhile in Texas…. #GracePetrie https://deezer.page.link/sro3WQVDwj37zM3r8
Happy New Grace Petrie Day to those who celebrate.

I’m really finding it frustrating that the new #GracePetrie album isn’t out it - I’ve got a load of her new songs running through my head and I can’t actually listen to them!
Just because I’m still buzzing from the #GracePetrie gig, here’s her latest single: written on the back of Boris Johnson earning £1mil in the first month after he lost his premiership. https://youtu.be/tMrSL2zSAbM
Just seen #GracePetrie perform with Molly Naylor and Amy Thatcher and Francesca Knowles. Absolutely phenomenal gig.
This new album, Build Something Better, is going to be one of the most important albums of this year, without a doubt.
See her perform, buy her album, rise up and dismantle capitalism!
About to see #GracePetrie in Summerhall, Edinburgh: Can’t wait!
I’m always here for new #GracePetrie #music https://youtu.be/gBEl-hd-8jg?si=M9wMryD1njcq7QOw

Just booked us a town car for the upcoming gafiation (cheaper than parking!) and Black Car led to Black Tie... just one of those songs that makes you feel good in a swing-the-finger(s)-at-anyone-who-gainsays-it kinda way...

Ah, now, there was a theme to my music tastes in #2022. What with the pandemic, and with the breakdown of the old societal fixtures that brought people together, I really worry about people feeling alone, lonely and vulnerable. And I was bang up for anything and anyone that was saying "We're still here - we'll find a way to be together again, if we can just hold on now".
