Thanks for the tip @capgrasman.bsky.social. This is a really special album by @ipekgorgun.bsky.social . Lots to explore.

There is nothing that demonstrates more strongly that America is firmly in a post-Christian era … than the fact that believers (even clergy) are arguing over whether hungry and marginalized people are worth feeding.

Totally unexpected treat from a master of his craft. aesoprock.bandcamp.com/album/i-hear...

The sheer greasy desperation from these bastards that any violent crime is committed by an immigrant so they can continue their grift. Even when they know it isn't true. Foul.

My new album "1979" is out today on 2LP and Digital. Listen now: balmat.lnk.to/1979 Buy on Bandcamp: mikeparadinas.bandcamp.com/album/1979

🧵I've posted them before, but here's my thread of horror/kids' TV double-bill cinema posters. Happy Halloween... #halloween #cinema #graphicdesign #poster

Oh dear. There is no difference. Both Tory and Reform are peddling racism for votes. Pochin *and* Jenrick were racist and twisting yourself into an ugly knot to try to claim otherwise is just a collapse of your own dignity as well as your morality.

Erm, no. No this policy does not need "clarification". It needs condemnation. They have been pretty clear what they want, the mass deportation of people living and working here, families ripped apart, and xenophobia and racism embedded further as government policy www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Don’t give these people benefit of the doubt. This racist rant isn’t an accident. Or ‘speaking out of turn’. It’s designed to fill our airwaves with people debating ‘if’ non white skin is a problem. Not Reform. Diversity isn’t the issue, hatred is. Don’t indulge it, vote for it or tolerate it.

Today was one of those days with ridiculous music release schedule. Superb new and archive albums from Rafael Toral, Tortoise, Mike Parker, Traumprinz, Jon Porras, and Squarepusher. Plus remixes from Rafael Anton Irisarri. Where to start?! @blackknoll.bsky.social @rtoral.bsky.social

Some people get obsessed with Strictly

Not sure what’s worse, Katie Lam’s comments or the fact that we can’t get Labour to criticise them … www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/a-brea...

New ham-fisted political metaphor just dropped.

The way drumm and vainio make me feel when listening to the their music that's my way out, need to walk out of this incredlibly heavy silence.

Efdemin has been a bit hit/miss for me in the past, but this one just works so well. Feels like a bit of a change of palette, and I like it. ostgut.bandcamp.com/album/poly-2

Thank you @david4bkh.bsky.social and Stirchley / Brum neighbours.

Well done Stirchley and Brum neighbours!

New (or old but with extra new bits) Seefeel is always exciting. Essential music for me. seefeel.bandcamp.com/album/pure-i...

Jenrick casting 1980s British football hooliganism as something that was easily dealt with by police and not an era defining issue which we're still living with the consequences of today... He's genuinely the most unserious person in British politics rn

Jared Verse is so much fun to watch #Rams

My fun Sunday afternoon activity has been using up loads of veg (some homegrown, some not) for roasting - including some gorgeous stripy beetroot that looks like sweets. That plus some halloumi and couscous for Sunday dinner - yum.

‘Brummies united against racism’: poster campaign takes on the far right

Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

new pay-what-you-like music up on bandcamp, a rehearsal recording of the set I played last weekend in Seattle. mgeddesgengras1.bandcamp.com/album/seattl...

why are West Midlands police allowing flag hangers to block a public highway, exactly

Flags went up in Stirchley a few days ago & were taken down by local residents the same evening. The men returned with a cherry picker and coned off parts of the road with police accompanying them as they put up new flags along the High Street. Residents who object have been met with verbal abuse.

It's #bandcampfriday and you can buy two new releases from me one just released today and the other one a few months back. Very much appreciate any type of support you send my way today or any other day! ❤️ siavashamini.bandcamp.com/album/severe...

BREAKING: The next Archbishop of Canterbury is to be the Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, the Bishop of London since 2018, Downing Street announced on Friday. She is to be the first woman to hold the post #archbishopofcanterbury #Archbishop106 #nextABC

Spot-on.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Reform's contempt for the rule of law is very obvious

This matched the mood this evening. Played loud. Looking forward to hearing new tracks tomorrow @clppng.bsky.social clppng.bandcamp.com/album/dead-c...

Wise words from the Secretary of the British Methodist Church Conference challenging the rise of the Far Right in the U.K. www.methodist.org.uk/about/our-st...

The Rt Revd Arun Arora, the Church of England’s co-lead Bishop for Racial Justice and Bishop of Kirkstall, has called Christians “to reclaim both the flag and the faith that is being desecrated by those who would use both to divide us.” Read more here ⬇ leeds.anglican.org/who-we-are/n...

A bit more like it (though nothing I can see referring to Musk’s incitement to violence and support for a coup). But it looks like a response to a flood of Labour MPs saying to No 10 ‘what on earth are you doing?’ - I wish it had come earlier as a principled response to the actual march

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Govt should take this message seriously. The far right, backed by the world's richest man, is actively stoking racial & political violence. Staying quiet, flattering them, saying "we hear you" won't work. Stand up for decency, for respect, for the best of modern Britain or watch those things burn

This is absolutely not what Christ wants. (I would also like to think that the Great British public will look at them and go “yuck, weirdos”, but I do not like this totally illegitimate attempt to claim the Cross for hatred against immigrants).

So sick of this, and the politicians who are supporting it.

There’s a lot of great music by Celer, but this one has a wonderful mix of ambient and grit that is right up my street. celer.bandcamp.com/album/it-wou...

A govt minister who did what the Reform party leader has done would have breached the ministerial code. It may or may not be a decision to disguise the true ownership to avoid tax But it is definitely a consciously false public statement for political motives www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@capgrasman.bsky.social has a brand new echo from his recent edition Caligo coming in....a thing of wonder!

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.
