MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

[noirua]

The war in Ukraine is driving a wedge between France and Germany. The two big economies of Europe are fighting over the course of action of the war. While France wants a new collective of democracies, Germany wants a phased ban on Russian oil and gas. In this episode of DeCode we look at the history of France and Germany's relation and their different approach to the Russia war. #RussiaUkraineWar #France #Germany

have just finished "A Happy Death", more a document than a novel, and my mind wandered to the more substantive L'Étranger . Then it was a short slip , slide , slap to music made by then-19 year olds. Good as it was, I will put up a robust live version of another toon by The Cure. 1981; and the final few seconds are worth waiting for (the set was truncated by festival management for a more 'commercial' act.)

This is going to be a slog listening to and going back to 1953 and some strong Yorkshire and Manchester accents in England. Goes back to the time cheese was still rationed after the war and £ s d not dollars or £ and pence. If you can understand all this well done.

£100 in 1953 is worth £2,975.00 today - up 29.75 times - UK
Half a crown is 2s 6d ( two shilling and sixpence or 25 cents at 1953 exchange rate ).

£48 ($100) in 1953 is worth $2,050 today - up 20.5 times - Australia.
An Aussie Half a crown is worth 12.5c.
