I stopped paying attention to OPN for a bit there, dunno why, life gets busy, but had a listen to the new one on a walk this morning. Sounds fantastic, 'bit of a grower' like. Full length visualiser - I guess that's on brand

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Aside from the fact this sort of nonsense is just plain wrong (and there are examples to prove it) The awareness of these things that some people apparently find so agitating is evidence that we (humanity, society) HAVE MADE ADVANCES - in knowledge, in understanding, in science.
Try and keep up.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Music is basically a detective novel where the musicians are the suspects/criminals, the listener is the detective and of course the music is the crime. The listener tries to determine what happened and what was the motivation, while the musicians try to obscure this, so they can get away with it.
