Monday night, time for some Soviet Motorik youtu.be/EHuGinZOH4Q?...

Thanks George! youtu.be/M_jJM6UAHmY?...

The Quietus Albums Of The Year So Far chart is here... How many have you heard (and are any of these made up)? @normanrecords.com buff.ly/d3liywz

The tech oligarchs must be smote from this earth like the priest kings of old, they must be annihilated not at a physical level where they could just be replaced but at a conceptional level that causes their class to not simply cease to exist but to become impossible Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

On now!

I'm on the @bleek.bsky.social radio show at khuh.fm in about 10 minutes, 5pm in Vancouver. 8pm Toronto, 1am London. Some unreleased Xylitol tracks and collabs, some ex-Yu gems, soviet electronics and obscurities from friends and comrades

It's not a coincidence that so many creepy misogynyists like Nick Cohen are all in on supporting the gender critical movement. Making trans women the sin eaters for patriarchal violence is a good way to dodge accountability for the bulk of such violence, which comes from cis het men.

Enjoying this very fun, thoroughly gloopy new one from Nick @thirdkindrecords.bsky.social and Fisty Kendal: thirdkindrecords.bandcamp.com/album/now-what

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: ‘Tessares’ by dgoHn Complex D&B beat science with nods to jungle, footwork, IDM, and breakcore on dgoHn’s first for Planet Mu. @planetmurecords.bsky.social www.normanrecords.com/features/bes...

This song speaks so directly and to the sadness of adolescence, of childhood illness and despite its loneliness still holding a coda of forlorn hope, blood tracing notes across the music manuscript as if to mark the truth of a body that yearns beyond its sickly boundaries. youtu.be/15VFP6Cs-to?...

Old person here, hitherto unaware that Signalwave is a thing but glad that it is, if indeed it is

Just as I have no opinion on the departure of that prick Starmer neither am I interested in anyone else's exciting Westminster takes. There's just a new craven blob being plopped into the same ill fitting suit and that's all

I wish I could explain the impossible chasm of loneliness I feel when I return home to my flat. I have had therapy for the best part of a decade to understand where in my psyche my fear of my own company arises from, to try not to fight the rising panic and frozen inertia but nothing has ever worked

"Like other social contagions, networked pogromism thrives, not exactly on the incitement of hates that did not previously exist, but on a permission tacitly granted by politicians, journalists and fascist celebrities who relentlessly affirm & validate the central argument of white ethnonationalism"

Happy that the English countryside exists, and recognise its fragile ecosystems need protecting from ecological collapse while also recognising I'd be happy if I never set foot here again

I knew not to expect much of Andy Burnham but even so

I'm playing in Plymouth this Saturday!

With raw determination and borrowed money I am going to make this flat not an absolute shithole

Enjoyed the series Severance. If it becomes possible to have that procedure done but in a trauma-informed, communist way I'd like to volunteer myself.

Yes,this is wholesome and a small victory, symbolic but also hugely important to the real life women and men and nb ppl who actually swim there, but to put it more bluntly eat shit you miserable pinch faced fucks who were so desperate to impose their bullshit ideology on them against their will

Just a heads up that my next Xylitol show is at Images, Plymouth on June 13, then Slav to the Rhythm will guest at Flex Disco on June 19 at Rossi Bar, Brighton

You can't imagine how happy I am to have found this again youtu.be/DIwByjETwR0?...

Glorious review from Tsutomu Noda at Ele-King. 🙏 www.ele-king.net/review/album...

"We are deeply concerned about the potentially devastating repercussions of this proposal on trans patients’ access to healthcare" and "the ability of trans healthcare staff to conduct their everyday duties", say the British Medical Association. www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opi...

'The duo’s compositional process is central: they improvise, record, break apart the results, build new forms, then learn to play them. The music sounds like this process, both accidental and inevitable' Guttersnipe - Extinction Burst! is a Quietus Album of the Month for May 2026 buff.ly/L4bVGWX

Remember this... Eire has had gender recognition based on self-ID for over 10 years with no reports of abuse or hatred. The gender critical movement in Eire is minuscule. This is a British problem. A very sick, twisted, British cult problem. It is a disturbing European outlier . This is not normal.

#OtD 23 May 1988 four lesbians burst into a BBC news studio during a live broadcast and called out: "Stop Section 28!" The protest was against the new anti-gay law, Section 28, that was about to go into effect at midnight. stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1255...

Trade Unions should put their money where their mouth is and sue the British Government over the unworkable EHRC guidance. Guidance that will be devastating for the workers' they represent and especially the small businesses who employ them. Force Labour to legislate to fix it.

I can’t excerpt, every word is perfect

After having stewed on the code of practice for days and read a lot more intelligent and learned people's responses, I can only conclude there is no way you can approach it in good faith that makes any sort of sense Even within the document's internal logic, nothing makes legal or practical sense

My radio show from May 22nd on @freeformportland.org is now up for listening. Amen breaks aplenty, bleeps and bloops galore, Xylitol two ways, Salamanda two ways, an evening stroll in Italy, drums and guitar. www.mixcloud.com/welwing/some... #freeformportland

Feel like this is really important information and baffled why it would be paywalled

Need a break? A change of scenery? A chance to breathe? We got you. 💙🏳️‍⚧️

About to embark on a house move and hence rediscovering things I forgot I had. Anyone else know this series (if it was a series?) Bought them from Mark Pawson's market stall and only later realised it was Archer Prewitt (The Sea and Cake) Just incredible storytelling, bleak but warm hearted

Because of yesterday’s government ‘decision’ (did YOU vote for this?), I’m hoping for support on the doubling down of this comp. Every penny goes to The Good Law project and I will personally replace and donate any fees that Bandcamp takes. sinktherich-acompilation.bandcamp.com/album/sink-t...

What am I more afraid of: breaking the law if I need to take a dump in a Wetherspoons or the Anglosphere's inexorable descent into fascism. Aware also these are two sides of the same coin

Not me anxiously refreshing the UK Politics page on the Guardian website

Every trans person in the UK bracing themselves for impact right now, as we all have been for the past 12 months. All the usual things about keeping safe, holding fast to the peoole you trust, self care and also be prepared that civil disobedience is our only life choice for the time being

Just distracting myself from thecunfolsing horrors of the world and being nostalgically reminded of my highlight from the pandemic, being Alain De Botton's priceless Jezza from Peep Show moment

If Bridget Philipson says the words 'dignity' or 'respect' today I swear my head will finally explode

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

It's tough on one's mental health being one of your country's despised minorities. Never to have the luxury to inhabit yourself without being reminded that you are a pariah and a threat.
