Covid Island Discs the missing years So over the next few days I am going to publish songs that were released in years that are currently empty in my Covid Island Disc collection. Up until today, there were no songs for 2010. In order to find a song that was published in 2010 I went […]
Day 322: The Ghost Inside, Broken Bells Read More »
A very dark song by Genesis taking a very appropriate dig at the false prophets of Christianity that use the things of Jesus to make a shed load of money by conning the gullible out of their hard earned cash. I have always surmised that these religious charlatans must truly be atheists. The reason I

So this song surprised me a little. I associate Billie Eilish with more odd sounding music but my daughter pointed me to her first album and I was really impressed with this song. It’s a shame in a way that she is now more famous for her more outlandish work because I think songs like
