Ha. The Beaches band hear their music being blasted in a hotel room before a gig. They knock on the door to make a noise complaint… 😂😂😂 The Beaches deserve all the success they now have. So good. YouTube short: youtube.com/shorts/9igjE7yPY8E #Music #TheBeaches

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

I don’t like saying this but BBC News is utterly failing in its coverage of Trump. Go elsewhere to find out what is actually happening

This is good. Guy Michelmore from Thinkspace Education is a fab music teacher. Boring Chords = Boring Music 18-minute videos. Including a sample module from a new course on Practical Harmony: https://youtu.be/KRET7W4-Isg #Mudic #MusicTheory #ThinkspaceEducation

I saw Basia live in San Francisco at Bimbo’s 365 Club in 2010. While in WWDC 2010. @don was also there. It was transplendid 🥰 I was quite merry due to nice beers. https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/114043889233094766

Marina is one of only three acts I've specifically traveled from Belfast to London to see live. The other two are Queen and Kate Bush. The Beaches were going to be the fourth, but their gig clashed with a hospital appointment I'd been waiting ages for.

Gosh. A new Marina single 🥰 It’s like her Electric Heart and Froot albums had a steamy affair and the BUTTERFLY is the result. That voice. A remarkable instrument. 4.5-minute music video: youtu.be/aQMKAZpcynA #Music #Marina

Any country would be a fool to trust America ever again. I don’t see a way back unless the Republican Party is vaporised.

I have three reviews to go for the Obs but today, after 180 of them, is my last column for OFM. So I thought I’d summarise my searing advice from the last 15 years: the wisdom, the provocations and the occasional stupidities. Enjoy. Or grind your teeth.

every time I read an interview with Satya Nadella it feels like I'm sustaining multiple concussions. Everything he says is this superficially-intelligent sounding nonsense

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Watching Daisy Jones & The Six episode 4. It’s so good. Easily one of my favourite shows ever. #Music #DaisyJonesAndTheSix

I wrote about Rocket Lab for the Economist in 2018 when it was all shiny and new. For multiple reasons, I haven't covered it since. Ollie Neas started highlighting the 'darker side' of RL back in 2020. And now, there's this www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

In principle there should be a vote in Parliament when troops are deployed. I’m confident all sides of the House are likely to agree with the Prime Minister apart from those Trump bootlickers in Reform.
