“Largely good-natured racist violence”

#nowplaying #MusicSky Khadja Nin - Sina mali, sina deni Just a beautiful, calming song.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 13. The Jam - Town Called Malice "Better stop dreaming of the quiet life/Cause it's the one we'll never know" is such a fantastic opening line.

#MusicChallenge #DavidsMonthOfMusic Day 18: A song from 10 years ago Wolf Alice - Silk

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 14. Prince - Sign O The Times

🐸

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 15. Kraftwerk - Computer Love Prophetic in how it foresaw online dating. Kraftwerk already sensed (in 1981!) that computers wouldn’t just change how we work but also how we feel and connect.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 16. The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 17. Talking Heads - Road To Nowhere The most cheerful song about death ever written.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 18. The Waterboys - The Pan Within My favourite track on This Is The Sea.

Here's a little something for when randoms turn up in your mentions demanding you explain what you're posting about

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 19. Jan Hammer - Crockett‘s Theme I’ve admittedly never seen an episode of Miami Vice, but this song was *everywhere* in the mid- to late 80s. Which is fine because it‘s a great tune.

RIP Diane Keaton My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool. She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out. What a unique talent & human being.

#RaveyardShift Butch - Love is a Glitch (Short Edit) Excellent deep house tune, looking forward to the full EP in a couple of weeks.

#RaveyardShift Nothing But Love - Meteora Munich-based techno act, absolute quality. ❤️‍🔥

A true legend gone. She also directed an episode of #TwinPeaks which (most likely) holds the record for the most dissolves in television history. 🤗

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 20. The Church - Under The Milky Way

Started the day with this incredible 1970 footage of Can playing an 18 minute version of Oh Yeah www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRMS...

Happy 50th Anniversary to Patti Smith and her band for the album Horses. Released Oct 10 1975. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, NY.

The Lee Miller show at Tate is so rammed it's hard to see. But as an alternative, a great exhibition at the Photographers' Gallery opens today on 100 years of photo booths.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 21. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power of Love "Think we‘re just a bunch of shock artists? Here‘s one of the greatest love songs ever written."

Bravo Joanna Lumley.

Someone uploaded Cafe Müller in its entirety to Youtube and I am grateful! The piece Pina Bausch is mostly remembered for, and rightly so. I keep telling people if they really want to understand post-war Germany, they need to see this. I have absolutely no idea why I keep telling them this.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 22. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 23. Culture Club - Karma Chameleon This was a hit when I was 3 or 4 and it‘s one of the first songs I can remember hearing on the radio.

#booksky It’s scary how prophetic this book is. It doesn’t matter if Tristero is real or not because society itself has literally gone mad. Pynchon didn’t just foresee the disinformation age, social media and Trumpism, he diagnosed the preconditions that would allow something like that to flourish.

Follow-up: Should I?

If anyone gets a DM from me about canned meat, don't open it! It's spam.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 24. Yello - Lost Again Yello in the early 80s were years ahead of their time.

#NowWatching MEMORIES OF MURDER (2003). Director: Bong Joon Ho. Song Kang-Ho, Kim Sang-Kyung. I haven't rewatched Bong Joon Ho's second feature & breakthrough since he became a global superstar. Serial killer procedural both satiric & devastating. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1073

Bluesky: We're gonna be the alternative to Twitter! People sick of Elon's bullshit: Hell yeah Bluesky: No not like that

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 25. Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper A lovely song about cars and the challenges of parallel parking.

Personally, I always wait until the trains are running to the concentration camps before I decide I’m living under fascism

NOOOOOO

I‘ve never seen The Breakfast Club.

Mazzy Star released ‘So Tonight That I Might See’ 32 years ago on October 5, 1993 | Listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/MSsotonight

Das ist die offizielle Twitter-Präsenz einer US-Regierungsbehörde. Reinster Faschismus. Der spätkap. Überwachungs- und Repressionsapparat, aufgebaut in Reaktion auf krisenbedingte Erosion/Instabilität, wird nun von ordinären Faschos übernommen.

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 26. Hüsker Dü - She Floated Away

🎨 Remembering #ARPenck, German Neo-Expressionist painter, who was #BOTD 5 October 1939. #Art #Painting

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

If you want to do something fun this Halloween month: Watch Rosemary's Baby and then *immediately* read the novel. (or vicey versey, but I think the experiment resonates better if you watch the movie first)

I don't think people should get over it. I think even if ICE is eventually dismantled as an institution people should hold a grudge against everyone they've ever employed forever.
