Really enjoyed the show in Todmorden. Thanks. I love Beneath Strawberry Moons and the older songs sound great too. Come to Leeds sometime.

Just finished listening to White Bread, Black Beer by Scritti Politti.
The production is so lush with unexpected detail that it's become my 2nd favourite Scritti album - Songs to Remember is unbeatable.

Here's the Boom Boom
Bop. Not even the best track on the album. Enjoy

The term 'Time Dilation'

Example: a person hovering in a hot-air balloon, for example, actually ages faster than someone standing below.

The second single from our new album lands May 30. Narrated by political messaging strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio, ‘Resistance, Refusal, Ridicule’ takes the kind of persuasive cadence that authoritarian regimes have long exploited and turns it back on them.

I can't get enough of Binding Time, it's amazing.
Honestly, I streamed on tidal not expecting very much but now I can't stop. Don't know how I missed the RSD vinyl at the time but managed to get a copy from Juno. Great work!

It was great to catch up with Chelsea Manning.

Chelsea paid an enormous price for exposing US war crimes to the world — and continues to speak out against state surveillance and defend the human rights of others.

She is proof that acts of courage can change the world.

“Citizen’s Advice ran an investigation that found UK distribution networks were accidentally given more than £4bn of excess profits since 2021. These have been paid by every household through standing charges on our energy bills over the last 3 years, roughly £130 per household.”

It’s #BandcampFriday, as every single music account on here has probably told you already.

Bizarrely, our new single In the Goodness of Time is not that far off entering the UK charts. The vinyl’s sold out but today’s an ideal time to grab a download 👇

The Jam was the first band that was mine, from In the City to the end, they soundtracked my formative years and they were bloody good ones.

Rick Buckler RIP

A new study has found that almost half of children in Gaza wish to die, as a result of the trauma they have been forced to endure.

Every single supplier of arms to Israel has blood on its hands — and the world will never forgive them.

"I ask myself, where is any sense of the ambitious young artist who honed his guitar skills to perfection. Where is the proactive young man who offered John Cale guidance on what to play on ‘Northern Sky’ and ‘Fly’?"
