Hey @OffMenuOfficial
I was just watching an awesome 2001 video of the Kettering band #Defenestration, where @MTV2 arranged for them to return to their former school…
Pretty certain there’s another familiar Montagu alumnus moshing in the crowd at 5:58!

On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy #PrideMonth!
AI is creeping in everywhere. And unlike before, it’s moving at warp speed.
How do we value people when their labor isn’t needed in the traditional sense anymore? What replaces the dignity of work? Universal Basic Income? Re-skilling programs? Or are we headed toward something more dystopian if we don’t manage this shift right?
Turns out that if you heard actual English words when listening to Orinoco Flow, you’re one of the rare few people who speak the lost language of Enyalian — without even knowing it.
Miraculous!
P.S. Save the Whales 🐋
The song "Orinoco Flow" hit #1 in 11 countries.
Enya had created a new form of music - one that transcended language itself.
Her made-up words weren't random.
They followed a precise formula that would revolutionize the industry:
@jperla Not sure @official_enya would appreciate being reduced to a meticulous and cynical manipulator of audiences to sell records.
My guess is she was simply trying to express feelings where words didn’t serve.
Of course a tech bro could never conceive creativity with no angle tho…
@jperla Really interesting thread but ‘Today…’ is doing A LOT of heavy lifting here… being as @cocteauofficial first album is over forty years old (released five years before the Enya song you mentioned) and they split up nearly three decades ago 😂
