Darlingside are doing something new in pop music, which is kind of astonishing this late in the game (ground the Beach Boys, Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Prince, Phish, and Radiohead didn't cover is hard to find.) - The Boston Herald Darlingside (Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji, Harris Paseltiner, and David Senft) are a Massachusetts-based ensemble whose sound is an eclectic blend of 60s folk, clever wry wit, classical arrangements, soaring harmonies, and a modern indie-rock sensibility. On Birds Say, Darlingside breathe life into a collection of cinematic, intelligent, and deeply moving songs. The four vocalists and multiinstrumentalists construct every piece collaboratively, pooling ideas so that each song bears the imprint of four different writing voices. Playful vocal permutations swing from four-part unison to CSNY-inspired group harmonies, underpinned by rich, carefully crafted soundscapes. The band's penchant for smashing electronic sounds with traditional acoustic textures-often bowed or plucked strings on a bed of ambient guitar swells and self-oscillating delays-shines throughout the album. The final product threads the collective memory of the four songwriters, nodding to the music of their parents' generation while establishing a sound that is all their own.

'The inestimable Tom Hodgkinson once again contributes to our collective calm with this perfectly judged collection of philosophy.' Emma Thompson 'A great guide to philosophy and big ideas... it made me laugh out loud.' Dominic West 'Illuminating, engaging, informative and highly accessible' Irvine Welsh There's more to Stoicism than shrugging your shoulders and getting on with it, as Tom Hodgkinson discovers in this witty and enlightening book. Stoicism is an enduring and ancient philosophy that can help you with everything from love and politics to money and spirituality. The Stoics were celebrated by the Romans, they influenced Christianity and even Shakespeare admired them. Today, both therapists and politicians will profess adherence to the Stoic creed. The "serenity prayer" is a Stoic statement. The Beatles' "Let it Be" is a Stoic song. Tom Hodgkinson, author of bestselling How to Be Idle, goes back to the original philosophical texts and looks at the greatest Stoics in history - including Seneca, Cicero, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine - to see if they can help us find fulfilment. He discovers that Stoicism is much stranger and more radical than you'd think. With witty reflections on everything from ethics, grammar, rhetoric, education, friendship and the importance of occasionally letting your hair down, Tom Hodgkinson shares his genuinely funny and brilliant guide to the Stoic life.

In an era when technology threatens the art of songwriting and production, 'old' music matters now more than ever. Those classic songs from decades ago that still carry so much power are each totally unique, but all were shaped by immense skill, hard work and moments of pure inspiration. Now, esteemed producer Owen Cutts - who has brought his infectious passion to the world through his 'Old Music Friday' series - opens up his record collection to share fifty-two essential, groundbreaking songs, which anyone who cares about music should hear. By picking apart songs by artists ranging from Minnie Riperton to The Delfonics, The Beatles to Aretha Franklin and Al Green to Dusty Springfield, Owen delves into why these recordings still cut through the noise and connect so deeply with listeners. This is a book for anyone looking to expand their sonic horizons, understand the creative process and lose themselves in great music. It's about songs that refuse to age, and why they still resonate all these years later.
