Some of what I say may go against your own thoughts and beliefs; and – occasionally – the manner in which it is said may seem harsh, targetted and malicious.

This is not my intention – especially with those of you that know me.

I am simply using the world I experience, including other people, as a way of debating my own way through existence.

Simple really…

Operating Outside the Overton Window

  Photo courtesy of Murat Halici Oh yes. That's more like it from this blog! For those of you that are (like I was) unfamiliar with 'the Overton Window'; it's essentially a way of describing the 'window of normality' that exists in the political sphere - IE what is actual governmental policy is at the centre of the window; beside that is what is popular (but maybe not actually policy); the next circle outside of that is what the populace would generally deem sensible; and then - as you start to move outside this window - things are still acceptable (maybe like people smoking weed; not legally encouraged in the UK, but seems to be broadly accepted as happening); and then things become more radical - and the 'unthinkable' is the furthest away from what that particular society would accept.

I tried it out on a long canal walk yesterday, and it was blissful . I got right back into listening to Muse's 'Absolution', and was immediately air-drumming along, no doubt to the amusement of the ducks/other towpath users. And one of the things I realised yesterday was that whilst I have a good collection of music now; mainly metal, but also some classical, and - more recently - some different genres to those; I don't have as wide a collection as I would like. So this is where YOU come in [yes, you!]: I would like you to send me your recommendations for some albums that I should listen to from start to finish. No real re...

In the Shadow of the Moon
