'Joe McEwan found his place and moved in. He set up home in the world of music and has never left. You can find him there still, with his neighbours Swamp Dogg and Aretha Franklin and Frank Sinatra and Sam Cooke. It’s a good, honest neighbourhood and Joe McEwan sits at its funky heart.' Recently published by ZE Books, ‘Tastykakes, Soul Songs and Shining Stars’ is a rich and passionate record of a life-long obsession with soul music and Rhythm & Blues from music industry stalwart Joe McEwen, legendary A&R man for acts including Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, K.D. Lang, Wilco, Nick Lowe, Built To Spill, Queen Latifah, the Frank Sinatra catalogue, and many others. @jebloynichols reviews over on the site today, finding 230 pages of reasons to remember why we love music.#musicbooks #joemcewen #soul by @caughtbytheriver

‘Nature is not units of data, but its opposite. It is relationships and delicate systems that take hundreds and thousands of years to become the life support systems we need to flourish.’ What does The Animals of Farthing Wood’s displacement tale look like in the age of AI? Over on the site today, @abiabiandrews considers animal sentience, the data centre deluge, and the new “pay-to-destroy” approach to planning. #conservation #animalsoffarthingwood #datacentres by @caughtbytheriver
