I've been listening to the latest Open Mike Eagle album non-stop these days. Witty vignettes and absurdities like this one with the broken phone www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5PO... but my fave is: openmikeeagle.bandcamp.com/track/contra... @mike-eagle.bsky.social #aoty2025 #aoty #hip-hop #musicsky

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine. They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care. Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression. We know colonialism. Stand up, take Action 🇵🇸

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism in the UK over the past year. How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard? news.sky.com/story/terror...

Whaaaaat! I need to have it! www.thamesandhudsonusa.com/books/iron-m...

LA Witch have been producing solid albums one after the other, but they haven't gotten their lucky break to the top tier yet? Icicle is extremely catchy and has been on my rotation the whole year. Sade Sanchez <3 youtu.be/SFoZhSPI7ko?... #aoty2025 #aoty #musicsky #indie

I'm still working on this year's list but it's more or less like this. With maybe a few things that I forgot. I'll start to post them under these tags, to see if I can get some more people interested. #aoty2025 #musicsky record.club/undomondo/li...

Talking Heads main man David Byrne made a Christmas mix for people who hate Christmas Music! www.mixcloud.com/Todomundo/da...

Oh to be able to release a debut album by the age of 100. Sun Ra would have been proud Sr. Allen, you are the coolest! marshallallen.bandcamp.com/track/africa...

I can't believe I have never ever searched YT for Man or Astro-Man live to this second and to think I've been a fan since mid 90s. This kicks ass in so many weird ways. Madness in the Streets! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TItK...

Put this on first thing in the morning if you have clear blue skies. Dare Balogun plays an hour of sunshine highlife music from Africa. You'll see! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qLq...

"Each time a space disappears, so does a community. Dublin doesn’t just have a housing crisis it also has a culture crisis. We’re losing the places where art happens, where new scenes form, where people come together.... " This is everywhere.. my.uplift.ie/petitions/sa...

This is the best read on Spotify Wrapped (obviously) @lizpelly.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/music/2025/d...

Today marks the 16th year after the passing of Jack Rose. My generation's Fahey. He's gone too soon but never forgotten. Let's go back to this wonderful footage in time (like every year) to honour his memory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xY7...

Reform gets largest ever political donation by an individual in UK history from a crypto baron living in Thailand This is not normal www.ft.com/content/db73...

Master dubber Adrian Sherwood has a new album and it's fantastic. Loved this Spaghetti Western Dub. Very cinematic, as it's supposed to be :D adriansherwood.bandcamp.com/track/spaghe...

What a glorious lineup this is. One of the few festivals really worth going these days. Hopefully one of my first destinations if Trump doesn't kill the Empire, and I can get a visa :D Kudos Big Ears Festival! #musicsky #jazz

internet / platforms and all digital is a dark forest since some time. we need to evacuate and leave no trace.

Very timely article of our human condition right now! Must read! "The fact is that our most intimate interactions with others are now governed by the expectation of surveillance and punishment from an online public." lux-magazine.com/article/priv...

On the new edition of my Mondo Times newsletter: Three essential albums by Pneumatic Tubes, Armand Hammer & The Alchemist, Gasper Lawal and the case against letting suits kill music. Read and share, if you care! <3 undomondo.substack.com/p/runners-hi...

Also, not for nothing, but dismantling capitalism will be virtually impossible if this weird AI coup they are attempting works. Reality will be so destabilized and impossible to agree on we will fracture into dust. You've really got to fight this, everywhere and time you see it. It's vital.

@thequietus.com boss man John Doran writes about David Lynch. I love his writing, so definitely I'm biased here but it's a very good read if you like the man. thequietus.com/news/remembe...

Holaa! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The right loves the accounts, which often rail against supposed voter fraud. They’re run by a Macedonian who illegally donated to a U.S. House candidate. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Fell into a mini rabbit hole and I'm super happy and satisfied now. Started with this video of ZZ Top playing Precious and Grace www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIy_... That synchro dance midway is fantastic. Seems I only knew a bit of the "80s and on ZZ Top". 1/4 #musicsky

New playlist will replace this one next week. You still have time to check some jazz adjacent stuff that I liked recently. open.spotify.com/playlist/5P8... Mattias Uneback, Greg Foat, Sven Wunder, Matt Wilde, Adrian Quesada, Soren Skov Orbit, Meshell et al...

Tuned into this in the morning while working in the kitchen. Cheers! --- Reminded me that I had made a video playlist of Indian Classical / Carnatic music, mostly from the fantastic Darbar Festival, some old stuff and some recent finds. Maybe someone will be interested? is.gd/Hintt

Incredible set here, the opening section based around Assata Shakur's poem 'Leftovers - What is Left' in particular. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4URF...

On a mission to view this anime film and read the #Manga #comic #Jazz #VisualCulture

Unearthed by three brothers cleaning out their late mother's attic, the copy netted $9.12 million this month at a Texas auction house which says it is the most expensive comic book ever sold. n.pr/3M5Rxfj

BIG UP! An innovation in the DJ scene, since some time! DNB Classics with a choir!!! Starts with Innercity Life and then On and On! Wonderful XXX www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcSB...

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Oooh. Wonderful. "Walshy Fire’s (Major Lazer) book, “Art of Dancehall,” acts as a tangible archive of the history of dancehall—and by proxy, reggae—via the posters that drew fans to the events around the world." wepresent.wetransfer.com/stories/wals...

"It’s very difficult for countries to resist the changes that new dominant packages of military technologies necessitate. In the 1700s and 1800s, you either learned to be a gunpowder empire, or you got conquered and enslaved." www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-future...

Nicola Ratti, Alessandra Novaga, Enrico Malatesta "Imagine a series of small movement in an empty space. Imagine their shadows on the floor, there’s a natural light sliding in from the 3 windows on your right side. There’s no silence in here." nicolaratti.bandcamp.com/album/what-w... #musicsky

Lovely, cosmic & spiritual jazz + rare grooves + library music from the master Jazzman Gerald! Can't get better than this!

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Mellow way to start the day with the new single from UK folktronica artist Andrew Wasylyk on @claypipemusic.bsky.social "First Moonbeams of Adulthood shimmers with layered trumpets, a wash of strings, and the lift of soprano saxophone." claypipemusic.bandcamp.com/track/first-...

Good morning, if you want to read about the details of the US Gaza plan: @theguardian.com has a nice recap. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I've seen 20 yo YouTubers claim the 2000s weren't homophobic, there was no pushback or resistance to the bush administration, and that nobody knew there weren't WMDs. One even said that George Lucas tried to warn us about the day's political dangers in the SW prequel trilogy but no one heeded

Vandalized US military billboards in Louisville, Kentucky

I quite enjoyed this over the weekend. "Ajomasé is the groundbreaking debut album by legendary Nigerian percussionist Gasper Lawal. Originally released in 1980 on his own label CAP, now re-released by the mighty Strut Records. strut.bandcamp.com/album/ajomas

Infectious new video / album from the Nigerian rock band Etran de L'Aïr on @sahelsounds.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V18y...

“I have lived through many wars in Gaza, from when I was a child until I myself became a father of three. Like an overbearing guest, the war came and went as it pleased, leaving behind many scars. Time was only able to mend a few, while the rest painfully persisted on, never fully healed.”

It's not a war, it's a systematic slaughter of a captive civilian population.

First Floor blog discusses how private equity firms like KKR and Superstruct have shifted from their defensive Summer position and are now playing the "cancel culture & digital bullying" card on the offensive. Crucial issue for the future of festivals!! firstfloor.substack.com/p/superstruc...
