I want the woman in me to be seen…
Sôn am Sharpeworld, mae eu MP3 yr wythnos yn werth ei glywed. Dw i’n pori trwy eu archifau sain, sy’n llawn dop o bethau gwych.

Canu gwerin a’r Gwerin
Wedi gwylio cwpl o raglenni ar Meic Stephens ar S4C heno, dyma fi ymchwilio’r Google amdano a dod ar draws erthygl gan Meic arall, Meic Llewellyn, y tro ‘ma, ar y pwnc Celtic and Oppositional Strands in the Contemporary Popular Musics of y Fro Gymraeg and Euskal Herria. Diawl erioed, ond mae’n ddiddorol. Ac yn ddoniol:
Among the cultural characteristics often perceived as uniting the Celtic nations are languages that share a common ancestry, and whose patterns of expression have many marked similarities. There is also felt to be a common distrust of centralisation and rigid organisation, and a delight in the unexpected and unpredictable, beautifully caught in Oscar Wilde’s aphorism ‘consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative’. From Roman times onward, these aspects of Celtic culture have been exoticised, romanticised and ‘othered’ by representatives of more politically coherent cultures to the extent that all too often the Celts appear to become no more than the negative images of those who have displaced and marginalised them; the fairies of western Europe. The continuing power of such representations can be seen in the ‘joss-stick Celticism’ of many today; in a discussion-group conversation on the internet recently, I was advised by an American woman called Ravyn (with a ‘y’ of course) that I would be able to recognise distinctly Celtic elements of any music if, and presumably only if, I had a ‘Celtic soul’.
Joss-stick Celticism, ie wir.

Dw i ddim yn gwybod pam (wel, ocê, dw i yn gwybod pam, ond dw i ddim am ddweud) ond dw i wedi bod yn edrych ar raglenni “I ♥ 80s”, hwyr yn y nos ar BBC2.
Gallen nhw fod wedi arbed lot o arian ac amser gan ddangos y llun ffeindiais i wrth fodio trwy archifau Textism.
I hope we’ve passed the audition
Dw i newydd ddarllen Revolution in the Head, llyfr sy’n dweud hanes recordio pob cân gan y Beatles.
Nawr mae rhaid i mi eu canu nhw gan ddefnyddio Beatles karaoke.
(Mae’r cofnod hwn yn arbennig, gyda’r llaw: yr un ôl 909 yw e.)
Wyrta modor (Mam y perl llysiau)
Naw Perl Llysien - cyfieithiad ar y cyd, o’r Hen Saesneg i Saesneg Modern, wedi’i drefnu gan Renne Glosses. Braf i weld linguablogwyr sy’n creu rhywbeth o’r newydd (wel, o’r hen, yn yr achos yma).
Dysgwyr ym mhobman
Dadeni’r Cymraeg - yn Vermont:
As a child in an area of Vermont known for its slate quarries and the Welsh workers it attracted a century ago, Janice Edwards watched as her ancestorsí language and culture slipped away.Now Edwards and others are working to restore the Welsh to their area. Edwards has been studying the Welsh language at Middlebury College for about six years, and from her home in Poultney she runs the Welsh-American Geneological Society and helps with the Poultney area St. Davidís Society, of which she is a founder.

Dysgu ieithoedd: wastraff o amser
Erthygl adweithiol am ieithoedd yn y Times:
Ordering everyone to learn another language is as pointless as ordering everyone to dig holes and fill them up. The reward for our ancestors persuading the rest of the world to speak English is that there is no need for us to learn what the rest of the world speaks.

And the home of the brave
Yn America, Gwlad y Rhydd, mae gan yr FBI yr hawl i fonitro arferion gwe-syrffio pobl sy’n defnyddio cyfrifiaduron yn eu llyfrgelloedd cyhoeddus, oedd does gan y llyfrgellyddion sy’n gweithio yna yr hawl i ddweud wrth pobl bod nhw’n cael eu monitro.
Mae ‘na ffordd rownd bob deddf ffasgaidd.
