If you're still a member of the Labour party after today then you're part of the racist, Zionist, Right Wing problem.

Good Lord. 15 years since BBC Radio Cymru covered up sexual harrassment by paying off the victim to stay quiet & the perpetrator to retire/disappear.

@dadadrummer.bsky.social just read the Quietus piece & am so happy to read about the "rave ups" in outros. Since i first heard it the ever so subtle but fantastically effective gear shift about 3/4s through Ceremony remains one of my favourite things to happen in any song.

Photograph of the LP sleeve for Roland Kirk recorded "live" - Here Comes The Whistleman standing on bare floorboards & leaning against a separates & vinyl shelving unit; the record itself, with its plum label, can be seen spinning in the reflection of the open lid of a turntable, which sits on top of the shelving unit

Have properly disliked Simeone for a good few decades & watching Arsenal destroy Atlético de Madrid, along with Diego's aggressive arrogance, has been very pleasurable indeed.

Important news via ILX, to quote the post: "Someone uploaded a straight rip of the _The Cure in Orange_ laserdisc yesterday, if you don't want to truck with weird looking AI upscaled versions." And indeed, who would.

i didn't realise it was that time already, however the lads in the park setting them off randomly probably aren't celebrating that.

Thing is, it's not just the kids doing it, amongst many others i've seen grown ass journalists do it.

The proliferation of online & TV commercials either aping or employing 'influencers' & their pouty poses & style of upper inflective speaking is getting very annoying indeed.

Premiata Forneria Marconi - Photos of Ghosts (Japan 1973)

As prog as these may be, this is an almost gentle & calming LP. Not my favourite P.F.M. but a very pleasant early AM soundtrack.
