so the new deerhoof songs are blissful, just what we all need www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlb3...

Thing is, if we had had AI taking the place of artists in the last 15 years we wouldn't have had Grimes, so who's to say that it's a bad thing

he's just incredibly thick isn't he?

things I am learning living here - Americans are John Mayer-pilled, and I am grateful to have been protected by an ocean for most of my life

he's a good lad! www.nme.com/news/music/s...

Why does every Ted Talk guy become stupid in exactly the same way

Are we sure it’s not the cost of living, just wondering

listening to Hail To The Thief, ahh the days when they really hated illegal wars! ❤️ youtu.be/2w6kHS_IRrE?...

congrats to the Mandrakes for making an album that sounds emphatically like them music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Britpop's true legacy

Unsurprisingly, Labour chasing after Reform has led to Reform demanding something even more extreme.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I’m sure you’ve heard this from others but isn’t Will Stancil the kind of grifter you often call out?

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Had a pretty good day yesterday

my favourite electric guitar player? youtu.be/dgZdBmgUEwU?...

this course that I'm on is encouraging us to write about the music that we loved when we were young and... I feel kind of obligated to write about these guys since they were such a big influence on me for better or worse... this song still makes me bawl, oh dear youtu.be/3s86rJvMIS0?...

so long ❤️

one thing I hate about the mixing/editing process is how closely it makes you listen. Now this, one of the greatest songs from one of the greatest bands ever sounds out of time. youtu.be/Ti1liRM6cao?...

back on my bullshit youtu.be/GNzgvLzxhzU?...

A happy 80th birthday to the great Robert Wyatt. All his records are wonderful but starting today with this, which is as apt now as when released (and contains the greatest Chic cover ever recorded)

I know the imperial presidency is fully bi-partisan, but "pre-emptive pardons" still seem like something that should be raising more eyebrows.

so glad that @helenmessenger.bsky.social took this unplanned video of our last song at our home in Oxford on that golden night 5 years ago, I can feel the energy in that beautiful room still. we love you! youtu.be/YAwQm21qByU

it was me that sent that blue shell

It's the 5th birthday of us a label and we celebrate tomorrow with a label showcase at Truck Store with Lucy Leave's label mates Lou Terry, Mumbles and The Plan Free entry, kid friendly show starting at 5pm!

Happy 5th Birthday to our second record, we still like it, so that's good, thanks for listening ❤️ lucyleave.bandcamp.com/album/everyo...

it's all Thomas Edison's fault!!

Reminder that the campaign that focused entirely on identity politics won the election

ugh the new Self Esteem is so autotuned. why?????

Solidarity to all my trans friends on this dreadful day, with bigotry and fascism in the ascendancy. Let's hope today is as good as it gets for these scum.

the band The Beatles could have been youtu.be/rKBRIGgcdb4?...

I have an ominous feeling that the people currently saying “it’s not a Nazi salute” will soon be saying “it’s just a symbol from Hinduism.”

Just a geriatric millennial who likes Joni Mitchell, Claude Debussy, Stephen Sondheim and Phil Collin's Genesis youtu.be/6haeyCMITn4?...

Friday Haiku #1: Lingering malaise. Bartók on headphones, eyes closed — Time to recover. (I aim to write and post a new haiku every Friday this year. Will I keep up with it? Time will tell!)

Westlife could only ever dream of these key changes youtu.be/7GMDwtlDTgo?...

Really hits home to see a list of individual music people who’ve lost their homes in the fires, when the headlines and big numbers have been difficult to get my head around. Devastating on both levels.

Soundgarden is such an embarrassing name for a band, honestly. Good songs though. youtu.be/ySzrJ4GRF7s?...

People always point out that taxing the super-wealthy wouldn't actually raise all that much revenue, but it's becoming clearer that the primary benefit is just taking away their money.

why do I like Debussy so much? youtu.be/spXwXLqFLvs?...

new direction for Lucy Leave youtu.be/k8_WfJb342k?...

One last act of barbarism from the Biden administration in its final days. Utterly horrific. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

if you can’t handle me at my worst, yeah alright that’s fair I get pretty bad
