Love, Innit? Anarchistic Love Songs from Cosmo

 first published 15th February 2015

 People who know me, and some who have randomly asked, know how I feel about Valentines Day. The words "hallmark holiday", and "arbitrarily dictated expressions of love" "philosophical opposition", usually come up. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that I am a romantic,in a weird anarchist free love type way. I like to see people getting laid. I revel in the many people I know who have beautiful, equal partnerships. I do truly believe that love is one of the greater revolutionary forces. And I love love songs.

This collection of songs, from the Cardiff based folk punk musician Cosmo, is a wonderful, unsentimental, heartfelt collection of songs that have love in the theme. Some are funny. Some are even about relationships. They are all, however, based on Cosmo's perceptive, hilarious and unsentimental love for humanity. Which is why I like them.
So happy day of romance. The occasion might be arbitrarily dictated. But love and and anarchy are good things, every day of the year.
