If You’re Not Part of the Solution . . . Soul, Politics, and Spirituality in Jazz 1967 to 1975, 2019 on BGP Records
Another find from Honest John’s in London – a collection called “If You’re Not Part of the Solution . . . Soul, Politics, and Spirituality in Jazz 1967 to 1975” 2 LP set of mostly instrumental jazz/soul on BGP Records. Tasty and woke. Good for “cyber monday” soul-sucking consumerism.

More Vegan London
I’ve spent a couple of weeks in London over the last month for work. It’s frankly a great city to be a vegan in, with lots of ethnic cuisine which is easily veganized (Thai, Indian, Ethiopian) as well as a number of health all-vegetarian or all-vegan spots.

Vegan London, continued – Blue Elephant
On our last night in London, we made our way over to Fulham for Blue Elephant Royal Thai Cuisine. It’s in a very unassuming part of Fulham, near the Fulham-Broadway tube station (map). It’s a dark, low building and you can’t really see any of the interior from outside. Inside, it’s a whole different world.…

Vegan London – Mildred’s in Soho
While in London (photos here) we had dinner at a local institution – Mildreds in Soho, a vegetarian restaurant for the last 17 years. We knew right away dinner was going to be great – the lines waiting for tables were flowing well out into the street.
