Trump - Their King’s Touch

 Musetrap And The Laird are wary of opinion politics, they want no part in it. Destructive, divisive, dangerous, in the end futile. However there is a point where saying something against the idiocy of fascism is required. 

Trump - Their King’s Touch is a short rant about the mob wagging the buffoon, because no despot becomes a despot on their own. Like lightning, fascism strikes from the ground up, the figurehead is nothing without the mob.  

The MATL episode titled Pavel Kushnir from earlier this year is also an anti fascism piece. While fascism remans a threat, all who have any voice, no matter how small, must speak against it.

Episode Thirty Two

 Episode thirty two could be the same young man, morning and night.

Wake Up Sleepy Darling, the success or failure of the young man’s appeals for mercy will depend on the mood of his muse. Will they find his desire flattering and met by their own? Or will he just sound desperate and needy? Or it may depend on the age of the relationship, weeks or years.

Detective Camembert, late night lonely paranoia, or a young philosopher following the moonlight towards perspective?

Episode Thirty One

 Themes and variations, they run through generations just as they run through art. As we mature we become aware of the themes of our lives, see that many are handed down directly from our parents. We create our own variations on those themes, pretend they are new themes, but they’re mostly not. 

What themes are you passing on? What themes have you inherited, but would rather not pass on?

Episode thirty one, To Wilfred, an old house, old themes, trying to see those themes clearly.

Episode Thirty

 As we learn more of our planet, more of our universe, we’re compelled to alter our understanding of the word language.

Episode thirty, Drinking Gum Tree Words, is a short chat about language and communication. For humans language and emotion are often closely connected, even the most austere instruction manual can make us feel things. Learning that language is so much more than we once thought it was can only make us feel more broadly and more deeply, make us feel more connected with everyone and everything.

Pavel Kushnir

 The Laird and Musetrap pay their small tribute to Russian pianist, writer and political prisoner Pavel Kushnir.

Billionaire media owners sell free speech stories, they ignore the actions of their billionaire pal in Russia. Pavel Kushnir possessed the astonishing courage to stand up to this war mongering cabal, to simply state that he opposed a war. He is one of many artists who couldn’t look away, who loved peace more than they loved their own lives.

Musetrap And The Laird bows to his greatness.
