The Indo Daily: 40 years of Band Aid - Christmas, charity and controversy

Among those watching was Irish musician Bob Geldof, who became determined to help in the only way he knew how. Thus began an unlikely pairing of pop music and activism that would inspire other charity singles like 'We Are the World' and lead to the historic Live Aid concerts. The iconic Christmas single, 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', was written by Geldof and Midge Ure. It would raise £8m for Ethiopia within a year and forever changed the relationship between charity and celebrity.

Blood Orange's Sonic Experiments

Above all else, grief is intensely personal. Where hope is a thing with feathers, a flying, beautiful feeling we all recognize, grief is its opposite: a universal emotion that's nonetheless mostly private and impossible to convey in its depths. Grief creates a gulf between you and other people. I find that ironic, given its universality. We'll all lose someone or something foundational, but that certainty doesn't make it any more legible. Though it does resonate; it does produce echoes in others.
