Now we don't use X and are only active here (plus struggling upstream agains the algorithms on Instagram and Meta), the best way to keep up-to-date with tQ is via our newsletters: The Digest (a breakdown of the last week) and The Portal (our weekly archive dive).

I’ll be selling vinyl & CDs after the ICA show tomorrow night, and will sign anything in-person (except private body parts, as sharpies could give you a rash).

As the Sumud Flotilla is being attacked in international waters, shouldn't this be considered piracy? And as such, shouldn't the Flotilla boats countries of origin not offer protection when inevitable attacks return?

I see the tangerine idiot is talking shite again. Sounding like he's been hitting facebook groups after a messy divorce. I am actually waiting for him to say the earth is flat now. jeezo

Me on the way to the Rapture

Over on ILX, another #JDTwitch story was shared, namely this 2016 piece on his love for Arthur Russell, celebrating his life and music, and saying "You are the best friend I ever had whom I never got to meet." Keith's work with Optimo and beyond will do that for others in turn, yet to come.

Laurie Anderson live on www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcbE... as in right now

wonder how many people are selling all their belongings / giving everything away as they believe that they will be swooped up in the rapture only to find out that the mythical sky beings didn't actually give a date/time/place for this seeing as they are mythical

this, by @sellbydave.bsky.social is lovely, www.juno.co.uk/junodaily/20...

we may have taken the piss out of Keith after seeing this

OH MY GOD, THE AD HE MENTIONS AT THE STORY IS ON YOUTUBE!

Years ago I had a late night call from @optimo-espacio.bsky.social when he told me that he was in Germany and was currently sitting opposite @b0lle.bsky.social and @andreasdorau.bsky.social. I got a hello over the phone which made my day/week/year. Keith was like that. This ⬇️ should be good

Back in the mid 90's Keith released a 12" by Agent Random ( this one www.discogs.com/release/1652... ) The story goes that someone from an ad agency heard it whilst in Rough Trade, they bought it and contacted the label as it was perfect for a Polaroid ad campaign.

In our fictional dystopia for NIN’s “Year Zero,” Hollywood had been destroyed and rebuilt in Florida where it was strictly regulated by the state & overseen by Evangelical groups, so news was state propaganda and entertainment was sanitized pro-Christian content approved by the US Bureau of Morality

On the back of NIN's "Year Zero" album we put a warning label (quoted below) about subversive material from the US Bureau of Morality, and if you called the phone number it played this message: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SB8... - gotta say I don't love how how plausible this now sounds!

Rest well Stephen Luscombe of Blancmange. youtu.be/Cvb8m8Trh8c?...

police have said they won't be using facial recognition during the flag shaggers march in London. Probably because it would cause the facial recognition system to overheat and crash as it gets a match with known suspects every few seconds

Following up on my thread on the attacks on the Gaza Flotilla I've put together the following article with my @bellingcat.com colleagues, examining the open source evidence, and establishing as much as we can know about the attacks www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

The latest editon of A Duck in a Tree (now out as a podcast: bit.ly/4mavLDE) features Larum's interpretation of page 76 of Cornelius Cardew's 'Treatise' from their eponymous new album. 'Treatise' works as a piece of 1960s abstract art as much as it does as a graphic musical score. Here's page 76:

while we're still doing 909s, here's the other side of PH1's " canin' " I lent my copy to someone who complained that this track www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwkQ... blew his speakers Best played really loud ( but not too loud it kills yr speakers )

it's still 909 day www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hh0... released on @optimo-espacio.bsky.social 's old T&B Vinyl label if I remember rightly, Orbital were fans of this There's a track on the other side that samples Arthur Lowe narrating the Mr Men.

more 909 Day www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuR4... best heard very loud

it's 909 day from 1984 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI-_...

@iheartnoise.bsky.social got an issue with the Telepaths download - it extracts as 10 tracks instead of 12, skipping out the first and third tracks - it's a long filename issue which can be fixed by renaming the files in the zip file before extracting

this popped up at random on youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLGB... and instantly heard Felix Da Housecat's "Harlot"

Here is a new video for "They whirl in the wide above" youtu.be/-GgnbNGII20 I originally made this track back in 2019, for when the @darkoutside.co.uk was held in Epping forest
