The warmest of welcomes back to our fireside thou Weariest of Pilgrims, for in this year of years, any who have made it this far will personify that epithet. Unless this is your first time, you will know Dark Sentiments has been an annual fixture here since this day in 2010.

Now marking the advent of its 11th season, the road to and from our homely hearth will be fortuitously lit by tonight’s Harvest Moon, and thirty days hence by the Hunter’s Moon of blessed Hallowe’en. Thank you for joining us to revel in the darkness between.

So as we meet in a time of fear, peril and global uncertainty, I have to ask, what else is new?

I grew up a child of the “duck and cover” generation, sharing the Family home with my Parents, younger sister, Border Collie, and the Elephant in the Room — AKA Nuclear Armageddon. Another global state of affairs that promised to fuck humanity wholesale, and pretty much everything else with it. We’ll let this feature from that era preach us out tonight, representing as it does officialdom of another era in its efforts to seem in control of something it most decidedly is not. Until tomorrow.
