The Post [?] Lockdown Chronicles: Maggie

You can keep the hidden treasures. Look below and say: these are my feet; this is the Earth and below  the substance of year after year. We spent days naming clouds. There were shapes of animals. Look up. You can hear yourself blinking. There is nothing here except this. It is true it all comes back to this hand,  these growing nails, hair where there was  none. No, I told you, there is no meter  to maintain these words in order.

The hidden treasures

Eat Out to Help Out reversed social distancing guidance and contributed to a second Covid wave. Hate to say we told you so.

T

he UK Covid-19 Inquiry was set up “to examine the UK’s response to and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and learn lessons for the future”. At the time of typing this, you can catch up with the developments from the coverage here, or directly from the video recordings here, if you find the time. The evidence that has been presented at the Inquiry is hugely significant, but it is, sadly, nothing truly new.

A note on the personal significance of collecting and listening to records, comparing it to meditation. I use Walter Benjamin’s concept of “erfahrung” to argue for the unique experience afforded by physical music formats. Finally, I share a mix of vinyl records.

I

‘ve written here before about what it means to me to spend some time playing records and recording them the sessions to share later (also here). Taking the time to select, play, listen to and later rearrange and make recordings of my playing/listening sessions is for me akin to meditating, attentively watching a good film, reading a good book for pleasure or doing research.

ost of my personal journal writing, as well as many of my blog posts, tends to be self-reflective and self-referential, often musing on the nature and challenges of writing. It’s writing about writing, or, often, about being unable to write. Why do we write? Why do many of us feel like we need to write? What do we write about? Does it matter? After more than two decades of blogging, I still believe I should blog more.
