Two new Drowned in Sound podcasts. 1. with music legend Martyn Ware from Heaven 17 and The Human League, on the future then and the future now. 2. a fascinating and uplifting discussion with artists who record with glaciers and plants, on how the sounds of nature can be harnessed.

Such a big tune So good that it inspired us to start a best of 2025 playlist on Spotify (as despite leaving the platform, quite a few people asked for a playlist and it benefits the artists and labels) (we’ll have a version on our YouTube soon too) open.spotify.com/playlist/5GJ...

If Labour genuinely cared about stopping a fascist takeover, they'd be making a serious case for proportional representation. However that would mean putting all of their cushy careers at risk and also not being extremely right wing.

There are around 3m millionaires in the UK (5% of population) and we only lose a tiny percent of them due to taxing the rich So why don’t we rebrand the wealth tax as a patriot tax and fix our broken country? Great piece by Zoe

Lots of chat about SXSW London, so would be good if some investigative reporters could get some clarity on this riddle If you’ve not seen The Dissident about Jamal Khashoggi, who was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018, it’s a must watch
