Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

I suspect I’ve put this one up previously but its so good.

And the trees
Those useless trees
Produce the air
That I am breathing

Yeah, the trees
Those useless trees
They never said
That you were leaving

20 books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers (don’t forget the alt text).

Day 18/20

Today is #WorldBookDay in the #UK & #Ireland (the rest of the world celebrates it on April 23). I celebrate books everyday but in honor of today's World Book Day, I'll honor #PercivalEverett's #TheTrees, a haunting & believe it or not at times comic (in the way #Everett often is) retelling of #EmmettTill's murder. I know #Erasure is on everyone's mind (as it should be) what w/#AmericanFiction, but do read #TheTrees, if & when you can. What's your book for today?

Can't wait to see this. Loved #Erasure. Love #PercivalEverett's #Books probably #TheTrees most of all (but haven't read all of the 30 some odd books he's written).

New #review today: Hot on the heels of the #FruitsDeMer retrospective An Introduction to #UsAndThem, the band has just released an EP of cover songs that did not make on their 2022 album ... and I Observed the Blue Sky. The four songs are covers of Nick Garrie’s 1969 song “Can I Stay with You?,” The #Zombies’ song “Beechwood Park,” #ThinLizzy’s “Little Girl in Bloom,” and #TheTrees’ “The Garden of Jane Delawney.” #ExposeOnline #AcidFolk #FolkRock #PsychedelicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/us-and-them-we-count-the-evening-stars-6.html

I heard "Polly On The Shore" on the radio yesterday and was reminded of this album. Intense drumming on this one, almost Krautrock-ish in parts.
