Anyhoooo this by Greg Surmacz is fantastic. Leeds flexing its jazz muscles

Wait, so everyone is wanging on about oasis because Gallagher got song writer of the year. In the year that Little Simz and Lily Allen both released absolutely epic albums. Get in the fucking bin.

Anyway, this is fantastic. Archive release from Phil Cohran who played Trumpet with the Arkestra. Spell binding.

Blows my mind that Britain is once again being fooled into thinking Oasis are anything other than middle of the road indie pop band. I'd rather have Eternal reform

I've been busy

Album of the week. Caterina Barbieri & Bendik Giske - At Source I adore Barbieri's unique sound and this is the most incredible duet between her synths and Giske's horns. Absolute harmony between the two of them.

Maybe tomorrow, fruit

Felicia Atkinson - Limpid As The Solitudes. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. It's like a sound bath only not shit. And look at the cover. Stunning immersive soothing of the soul

Amazing sushi and sashimi at little Tokyo in Leeds. And a cherry on top, the City Pop music playing in the background. Absolutely perfect.

oh, and if you don't fancy delving into your phone's settings, NextDNS has a nifty app that makes it straightforward. Android here: play.google.com/store/search...

Think we need to talk about how fucking good the Nine Inch Nails Tron OST was. And now we get a huge expanded release with a bucket load of remixes too.

CD lived in my car for the longest time.

Remember folks. The Greens were led by David Icke

Was thinking I should read the red dwarf books again only very recently. Definitely the time now

Eliane Radigue Oeuvres Électroniques (Electronic Works) 16 hours of peerless, important works by Eliane Radigue focussing on her work with the ARP 2500 synthesiser between 1971-2000, finally available again. RIP legend. boomkat.com/products/ele...

Reminder to all Americans to stfu. You have a racist nonce as your president.

Gonna be a massive irony when Labour lose today because they wouldn't allow Burnham to stand because he wanted a crack at Starmer's leadership and Starmer steps down as leader as result.

Doesn't bloody matter what they made. Nobody should have to beg money to pay for their care regardless.

COmpLIcItY In GenOciDE 🤪 Many reasons to dislike Spotify but the say so of the racists involved in BDS over tenuous links to Israel aren't one.

One of the things I'm seeing missing from the plans for reductions in EHCPs is that many children are fine in mainstream primary education but need specialist secondary education. We needed an EHCP to apply for a specialist school but under the new proposals wouldn't be eligible

Damn, I thought I just followed people with excellent taste. But people are sharing the music of Éliane Radigue because she's past away. A genuine legend.

Minecraft at this point is probably the most major pop culture phenomenon of the last generation or so. I love how it's gotten everywhere

rest of the day..

Worth pointing out that Mencap are far more cautious than the snippet suggests. They're worried about the weakening of the legal protection offered by EHCP. Children, some with profound disabilities could lose their plan and the protection it offers www.saveourchildrensrights.org.uk/open-letter

Not sure it counts when I still have a crush on her

I'll do the original quote too Pratchett Fleming Le Carre Welsh Herron

I've only relatively recently started reading again but this makes me realise how few female authors I've read. La Plante Rowling Tana French And erm... Judy Blume and Judith Kerr. (Children's authors must count and they're brilliant)

Just watched Cool Runnings with my children. Still fantastic

Green antisemitism in Gorton. It's where every racist bastard from Labour ended up. When Corbyn supports something, you know the score. It'll be antisemitic to the core.

Where I live is fit

What's the excuse for the sharp drop in IQs when discussing technology? 2002 the laptops were introduced. 24 years later scores drop. We don't even have correlation. Never mind causation.

gregsurmacz.bandcamp.com/album/buildi... My further adventures in the current Leeds music scene. Great example of the bubbling jazz scene in the city right now

This also made me go back through everything I listened to last year to check for some I didn't add to my end of year 25. Like Polypores, Cut Copy Stand High Patrol and Matt Berry

They can be really good at trouble shooting. I've had them really help me out setting up dbmail and SMTP relay. But then I've also gone around in circles trying to fix my Plexamp headless install

Bott absolutely killing us. So many yards. Over and over again

Scratchy performance from the Tigers so far. Ref last week was more lenient around the ruck and we look to be struggling with Toulouse when they get on the front foot. Hopefully just enough to get this finished though

PinkPantheress is soooooooo good. The album is the way to go, but ffs don't sleep on the Nia Archives remix of Illegal.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf1T... Getting my Craven Faults on. Absolute perfection

This from a nation where they have an Italian chain that translates to Pope John.

Well this fucking bangs JayaHadADream - The Bank www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEGl...

7 days

tcandthegroovefamily.bandcamp.com/album/we-hav... I really need to sort out my shit when it comes to keeping an eye on my own back yard. This is the collective that NikNak is involved with. Absolutely incredible stuff, fusing turntablism, afrobeat and jazz.

A large number of the Ukrainian team are disabled because of Russia

@plex.tv Getting very confusing and conflicting info about plexamp. My install broke and plexamp.plex.tv/headless/ isn't working. Should it be? OR should I get the much older versions that are availalble?

The internet has always had this problem. You can pull a similar trick with Wikipedia. It becomes self fulfilling if an actual news site then repeats it because you can replace your personal blog citation with one from the legit site

Big lad loved it too, but my youngest (8) just had his mind blown by Back to the Future The Musical. Both already fans of the film too and they loved every second. So did the grown-ups. Fantastic production

Down the west end with the family

Best British band in the last 10 years, without question. Get this. Get the rest of their albums. Especially go see them live

New aphex twin video just dropped
