BREAKING: “What is becoming increasingly apparent is the falsehoods that were peddled by Nigel Farage and others at the time of the Brexit referendum…all you had to do was leave the EU & you would have £350m a week for your NHS, well it hasn’t materialised” PM Keir Starmer

Glad to hear Iain Ballamy back on form again. Seems he's taken a leaf out of his Food days experience, with lovely textures and floating melodies. I'm curious to hear the whole album. youtu.be/r1z6vUBPBgY?...

London: temperatures have dropped. For anyone sleeping rough, this can be fatal. Contact thestreetlink.org.uk if you see anyone sleeping rough who might be in need of support, and we'll get them out of the cold.

Trump's right when he says no nation has achieved what the US has. America under Trump is blundering around like an elephant in a china shop, and that's just recent events. America seems to have a knack of making a mess of everything, due to its meddling (www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...)

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Sad to say that 'One Great Day' from #Ellery #Eskelin on @hathut.bsky.social is falling apart and won't play on my CD player anymore. HatHut is a great label, but I'm wondering if their CDs have disc rot, something I'm sure they didn't plan for.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Always love the nostalgic romanticized view of Christmas. I just learned yesterday that it's snowed only 11 or 12 times at Christmas since 1900. But what the heck, you have to find fairies at the bottom of the garden to believe in them, after all. 😉

Starting the morning with a wonderful album of vocal music 'Of Eternal Light'. Just the job for a cold winter's morning.

Anyone living in #Schaerbeek (or the north of Brussels), you might be interested to fill this in. Also @brussels.bsky.social might have some followers who are interested? c.org/tVnJrN94nt

Just found my old collection of return tickets. They took me back.

Modular in the Shed. Sometimes it is good to take a small sub-set of gear from your studio & improvise with it in a different space - in this case my live rig Eurorack modular systems in the summer house in my garden.

Aksak Maboul – Before Aksak Maboul (Documents and Experiments 1969-1977) https://freq.org.uk/reviews/before-aksak-maboul/ It is absolutely great that these pieces have found the light of day after all these years and is an essential addition to what is a […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

This sums it up rather well.

A must read ....

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

I'm not sure where these figures come from. I live in Belgium, I've never heard of this poll. I'm not surprised to read that the Flemish support de Wever, however, I'd be most surprised if that figure is correct in Wallonia. If there's person the Walloon's don't like, and that's Bart de Wever

I just don't get the #BBC or #Guardian (and others), publishing articles on the climate and then tell us 20 places in the world we can fly to to add to the pollution that's produced by long distance travel. Let's just burn the planet .... 🤯.

And so it begins, Europe's cowardice to Trump's nonsense. Why do all these places he bullies just cower, rather than just ignoring him? The only way to win is to become independent, and not reliant on the US or A.

We always knew FIFA were the shit on Satan's hoof, right? This is from 2011

After a vote in the Eurovision song contest committee, only 4 countries withdrew. Israel said, they had won a victory over those that wish to silence them. My question is, where are all the other countries who should be on this list to withdraw, they seem to 'be' very silent (IMHO). 😉

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

A Thailand-based crypto investor has handed a record-breaking £9 million to Reform UK, shortly before Nigel Farage used media interviews to plug his crypto firm and promise lower taxes and deregulation on the industry bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

@theguardian.com Although I'm not a journalist, what I understood (from Putin) wasn't quite the way you frame it as scary news. Putin said that 'if' Europe wanted a war he was ready. Your headline implies he wants a war to start, which is not the same thing. Europe doesn't want a war, so .... ?

This is again a topic, at least where I live in Belgium. Please, if you live in the EU, try to bring this up with friends and politicians if possible. We need to act now! youtu.be/--832LV9a3I?...

Anyone interested in using modular (synths) in their music, will find much of interest in @rofilm.bsky.social RofilMedia's monthly Signal Path. www.dev.rofilm-media.net/node/711

More than worth a read, shame it's difficult to stop these people from making millions to line their own pockets. Maybe if more people speak out, could be a good starting point? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

This article - www.bbc.com/news/article... - seems to say Rosalia's album has sparked an interest in classical music? I could name many albums with pop/classical music (ex: Portishead: Roseland NYC Live) that are amazing musically, more so that Rosalia. Maybe you have some suggestions?

good morning [cd - Verve 827 826-2] info: www.discogs.com/release/2292...

Anyone know a good site where I can sell of (at very reasonable prices) loads of CDs? I need to downsize and I have plenty of bargains, with the buyer(s) paying the postage. @discogsofficial.bsky.social shipping policies are messy, I just can't be bothered.
