The Dark Side Of The Moon, Places in Songs

it doesn't exist

Well I’m dead chuffed that 14 people have cheered my original photograph of the dark side of the moon, but there’s just one tiny little problemette isn’t there. The moon rotates on its own axis such as to always present the same face towards the earth, but it also rotates around the earth once every 28 days, and the earth is rotating once a day as well. So the dark side is a variable piece of turf, which is also the light side depending on your point of view. Sorry to dispel any illusion.

Annet, Isles of Scilly

Annet - Bird Sanctuary

Annet is one of the largest uninhabited members of the Isles of Scilly, 28 miles off teh coast from Land’s End. It’s designated a bird sanctuary because of the Puffins, Manx Shearwater and other seabirds which make nests or burrows on the cliifs. Landing is normally prohibited, but I was with a small group led by a leading local ornithologist who had obtained special prmission. The best part was looking down from the top of the cliffs at an enormous colony of kittiwakes.

Primrose Hill, Camden

There's a song about it.

After I went to Primrose Hill for the first time, as soon as I got back I wanted to learn and record Loudon Wainwright III’s song about it. My version is not particularly original, but it has the edge that I did used to be a busker myself.
