Two Musics, Two Nonfics

Melodies and Voices Purposefully Blended Together and Then Recorded

Wildewoman by Lucius.  Two girl singers sing songs of pop.  I think they might be hipsters.  They live in Brooklyn.  I cannot recall how I came to order this.  When looking them up I found a brief radio interview.


I Will Be Me by Dave Davies.  Guitarist plays songs and sings lyrics. I presume this song is about how he razored his amp to change the sound.



NonFiction

Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: what everyone needs to know by P.W. Singer and Allan Friedman.  "Provide[s] the kind of wasy-to-read yet deeply informative resource book that has been missing on this crucial issue of 21st century life."

Hydrofracking: what everyone needs to know by Alex Prud'homme.  My cousin started a drilling services company and does a lot of work with hydrofracturing operations.  He was mentioning how the method is only worthwhile because oil and gas prices are high.  He said that about 1.5 years ago though, maybe extraction costs are down.

Musical Interlude Extra

I got to thinking about The Kinks.


One Davies sister moved to Australia.  They missed her.



I had thought David Watts was  joke about a guy dating another sister.  I just read a different story that was a pal of the band.  Heck if I know the truth, the sources are murky.



Last one.
