Who doesn't love a bit of post-punk doom-pop? Who doesn't love 12-minute synth-rock epics? Mesmerizing, bitter, angular 'rock' music for those who find most rock music a bit boring. Pick it up for only £1. bekindcadaver.bandcamp.com/album/lights...

Today's LIstening: Fridge Flammers- Started with a Kill Like navigating a series of dreams that alternate between a broken carnival and a jazz club rendered in the most up to date 3D animation technology of 1997. Definitely a strange zone. fridgeflammers.bandcamp.com/album/starte...

I wrote this article in response to the appalling recent interview of Suno AI CEO Mikey Shulman. Where the mainstream conversation about AI in art focussed primarily on economic issues, we urgently need to consider the impacts on our spiritual lives. johngarner.co.uk/writings/the... #ai #sunoai

There is no alternative to platform capitalism without collective ownership and control.

The latest from @dittomusic.bsky.social. Apparently ‘repetitive, soundscape, meditative’ music is now banned by Apple Music (again, the album in question isn’t close to this description, and AI wasn’t touched in the creation process). What is there left to say? #applemusic #dittomusic

STOP USING AYE EYE GENERATED IMAGES IN YOUR MUSIC ALBUM COVERS IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT

The latest from @dittomusic.bsky.social on blocking my latest release on Apple Music. Nothing about the album in question is ‘generic’. Who is deciding this and why? Or is this AI decision-making shafting us in delightful new ways? Nothing on the ‘Music Style Guide’ gives any clarity. PLEASE AMPLIFY

my favorite CIA fact that puts many of its early/deranged activities (e.g. MK Ultra, agents putting psychedelics in each other's coffee cups) in important context is that it was formed only in 1947. it was less than 20 years old when JFK was killed, younger than homeland security is today

@dittomusic.bsky.social are currently refusing to submit an album that’s taken hundreds of hours of work to Apple Music on the basis that it’s been labelled as ‘generic instrumental’. Not only are musicians being shafted by AI-generated content, but we’re also being blocked. Sort it out.

As it’s my birthday eve, here’s a lucky dip of Bandcamp download codes: 9b4n-ucbh 85tu-u6y5 653a-cbur ult7-xe2u e6hd-3zeq e84q-uxh5 plxs-e8kz fvtb-3n8t 2vpm-hhpy rgf4-jnqv bandcamp.com/yum

Picked up a great goodies bag from @aclu.org @sundancefilmfest.bsky.social If ICE knocks, you do not need to open the door unless they produce a warrant signed by a judge. There is no other legal warrant even if they say it is. #knowyourrights #consituationoftheUnitedStates

New from Fridge Flammers. ‘Started With A Kill’ is out on February 5th. youtu.be/xrOOscjD25Y

Palestinians are hostages, too. There are more Palestinian hostages, and their conditions are much worse. These are the facts erased by a racist Western media. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/palestinia...

New article up on my website. johngarner.co.uk/writings/the...

My first post should be something that brings joy, and a little calm.

Looking for potential venues for this lovely project with poet Nisha Ramayya and bassist John Pope. Any tips greatly appreciated.
