Fontaines D.C. albums
I went to one of the downtown record stores on the weekend and got some new vinyl! Randomly noticed that they thank Richard Hawley in the liner notes of Skinty Fia, and since I'm a big fan of his too I was like whoa, what's that about? Found this great little blurb from an interview with Curley and Carlos:
By contrast, both guitarists reached for a 12-string acoustic on a pair of songs: Curley on the aforementioned “Jackie Down the Line,” and O’Connell on the smoldering groover “Roman Holiday.” Oddly enough, the Fontaines acquired the guitar, a beautifully finished Fylde custom 12-string, from British crooner and troubadour Richard Hawley, who met the band on a recent jaunt in Sheffield. “We were struggling to find a really nice sound on a 12-string,” O’Connell says, “so it was like, let me just text him. He was really excited about being a part of it and lending us the guitar, and it was magic. Just a beautiful guitar. Someday I’ll get one, but you can never play it live because it’s just too precious.”

The crow and the fox
Master Crow, perched on an oak,
Was holding a cheese in his beak.
Master Fox, lured by the scent,
Spoke more or less like this:
‘Good day, my dear Sir Crow,
How smart you are! How debonair you are!
In truth, if your song
Be as fine as your plumage,
You are the phoenix of these woods.’
At this, the crow grew wild with glee;
And to display his minstrelsy,
He opens a big beak and drops his booty.
The fox snaps it up, saying: ‘My dear sir,
Learn that every flatterer
Depends on an audience to live at ease.
This lesson is doubtless cheap at a cheese.’
The crow, shamefaced and in troubled state,
Vowed to be tricked no more – a little late.

Always imagining bashir and garak's politically tense trophy-husband-4-trophy-husband wedding to end all weddings bc knowing Richard Bashit he probably invited himself in expecting his son to get married to some human woman but NO hes slow dancing to Vic Fontaine's rendition of The Spy Who Loved Me with this elderly reptile bloke (probably wearing an outfit involving white fur and gold lamé (this is my vision ok shut up)) and when julian passive-agressively introduces them Garak is grinning and staring straight at him without blinking as he offers his hand and is all like Charmed, I'm Sure 🙂 and its enough to make anyone shit themselves. During their speeches Sisko and Miles are desperatly trying to find anecdotes about the happy couple that don't involve their war crimes or medical malpractice. Mila is watching everything from afar like the queen at a football match. Kirayoshi is crying incessantly throughout. A merry time is had by few.

Part 2 of my Belgium Ardennes trip
Here are some pictures from the Henri Chapelle American Cemetery. One member of Easy Company is buried here - Richard J Hughes who didn’t feature in the Band of Brothers series but who was shot by a sniper the same night Bill and Joe lost their legs.
This is the Easy Company memorial in the Bois Jacques. This made me very emotional to see the names of the men lost from Easy Company during their time in the Ardennes.
This is the memorial for Renee Lemaire ‘The Angel of Bastogne’ who lost her life on 24th December 1944. And the second picture shows the tank in the middle of Bastogne.
The Germany Cemteray in Recogne. It’s a very peaceful cemetery surrounded by trees and is well worth a visit.
This path in the Fontaine woods is where Hoobler stood when he shot the German officer on horse back.
