Reminder we're looking for a #vortex theme, any ideas? #listeningclub

Time to listen. #listeningclub #music

#listeningclub al fresco tonight

Might do #listeningclub in the garden tonight #luxury

What ho! Tonight's #ListeningClub debut pick from @giflian has arrived on the blog. Grab what you need and hope to see you back on the above hashtag at 20:00 BST (GMT+1) for playback and a long cool one (or two) […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Hit me up, #urbanism #cycling, #liveablecities, #walking, #planning people - what are the best books I should read in my new role as #lewisham executive member for #environment, #nature, #transport & #climate Action Things in the vein of Charles Montgomery's Happy City or Janette Sadik-Khan's […]

Yeah boi #rossgreer of the Scottish Greens is good #bbcqt

The 'ReformUK insurgency' is that of pathetic men in their white vans yelling expletives at people. It masquerades as a counter-cultural force when in fact a Reform UK govt would just be the same neoliberalism we've had for decades with added racism, intolerance and austerity for the poor […]

Man, it is awkward going back to a Windows machine after 6 years on a Mac. My fingers are all over the place!

My quote that "I for one welcome our digihog overlogs" did not make the news sadly, but other banter about @geotessera.org and hedgehogs did! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c202g60qrlpo

Right then, many thanks to @corin_ja for the top floor disco early swirly selection, we return next Sunday, same time same place same hashtag, with @giflian making their debut pick. Join us! Until then, as always, good to see everyone, thanks for stopping by […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Okey dokey, I've done the, ahem, early reveal, frisbaton passing time. Would you care for the frisbaton to make a debut selection next week @giflian ? #listeningclub

Et voila #listeningclub

Link to some blurb about The Loft here, for those who don't know it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Loft_(New_York_City) https://theloft.party/ It's really amazing to me that it was a party that prioritised sound quality & the dancefloor experience […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

And the answer is - disco! So this is the Early set of volume 1 of David Mancuso's Loft compilation, a celebration of his infamous Loft Parties in NYC. The 'Late' set is even deeper :) Bit of a cheat as it's a compilation album, sorry about that. Also, the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

OK, couple of explainers coming up as we slide into the final section of this evening's #listeningclub

I'm going to break with tradition and do a reveal before the end of tonight's #listeningclub unless anyone objects? Maybe in about 5 minutes.

Let's get down. #listeningclub #music #nowplaying

Evening all, hope everyone's well #listeningclub

The guitar sound in this is hitting the spot for me #listeningclub

This is the singalong bit, right? #listeningclub

Let's get together. #listeningclub #music #nowplaying

In for #listeningclub

Another announcement: I have been elected to represent the people of #sydenham ward on #lewisham council as a #greenparty councillor. My thanks to the people who’ve put their trust in my & my fellow councillors. We’ll work our hardest to make a difference. #gpew #ukpolitics

Ed Freshwater, Brum Greens candidate for the Handsworth ward combines some last-minute campaigning with litter-picking outside a polling station! #VoteGreenInBrum today!

The late Robin Williams and zackpolanski.bsky.social are entirely correct. As in America, here in the UK it’s the same. All the main parties are bought and paid for: Labour, the Tories, Reform On Thursday vote green for a party that puts people and communities first. #r4today #bbcbreakfast #PMQs

Well #swampthing1989 issue 1 (or 88 if you’re counting from then) sold out quickly. All seems to be on ebay for x4 the cover price now. Damn, didn’t think it would go that fast #comics #dccomics #swampthing #rickveitch

Right then, big thanks to @woj for the tuneful and twangy selection. We're back next Sunday, same time, same place, same hashtag, with @iamwahl in the chair. Until then, good to see everyone, thanks for stopping by, hoping for a mighty fine week for y'all. #listeningclub #music

Honestly feels weird that I’ve spent all day having dozens of doorstep conversations with residents about what we as #greenparty councillors can do to improve things like community spirit, local bus services & waste collection, and then I go online & the dominant discourse is antisemitism. Bit […]

Another day canvassing with all our enthusiastic volunteers in Mile End. I have a new level of respect for logistics! #mileend #TowerHamlets #greenparty #lbth #localelections #GPEW

And yet another Whatsapp group that was supposed to be used to convey important information has descended into random chats. Mute notifications is now on, meaning I may miss some actually important post. Why can't people just shut up? (He says, posting on a microblogging site!)

I've been following @scottsantens for years as he's probably the greatest advocate for #universalbasicincome out there, and this essay is one of the best he's written #ubi https://www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-de-poitrine-argument-for-ubi/

Fijne Koningsdag to all in The Netherlands today - looks like a particularly fijne dag for it!

Slightly shorter option, Paul Kantner Have You Seen The Stars Tonight from the Blows Against the Empire Album which is a great big story in itself. I suppose all concept albums are #listeningclub #storytimevortex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rvetP_Kcgk

Another one I considered was Dire Straits Telegraph Road. I always laugh at the live version of this - very delicate, very quiet music being cheered along to by basically a massive drunk pub crowd #listeningclub #storytimevortex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX2n2ftbdZU

My immediate thought for the #StoryTimeVortex was Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden, but a) it's over 13 minutes long and b) I had problems finding it as an MP3 for sale. Resolved to buy the CD of the album it's off but ran out of time to find it in a local record shop. Anyway here's […]

And they all lived happily ever after... or did they? mwahahah. So, that was the #StoryTimeVortex that was, and a mighty fine set of tales it was. Many thanks to everyone for chipping in tunes and to @saucer for the splendid stitching and blending. Next week […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I wonder if anyone has chosen a purely instrumental track for this #storytimevortex ? I had one in mind, but it's a hard thing to figure out if other people would make the story association with a track without words #listeningclub

Jeez, I am not sure what I think about this one. It's giving me psychiatrist's couch vibes #listeningclub #storytimevortex

This one is making me think of Adventure Time #listeningclub #storytimevortex

This track reminds me a bit of the Paul Auster book I just finished #listeningclub #storytimevortex

belated welcome to stohttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352875/ry time (late dinner, apologies!) #listeningclub

I'm in on-time for #listeningclub and this #storytimevortex

Once upon a time, #ListeningClub announced a #StoryTimeVortex, full to the brim with story-songs from many ages and folks, contributed by the assembled, expertly assembled by @saucer , all for your collective listening and merriment at 20:00 BST (GMT+1), We […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
