Tfw you were so thoroughly brainwashed as a child that even as an extremely rational fifty year old you still have this nagging worry that your parents were right all along and the rapture is coming

Seriously considering this for next year, assuming the line up is good. What do you all think about the involvement of KKR and should we be boycotting all the festivals they have investment in?

The 4-day week is just so crazy that any company could implement it - there are no barriers at all - and immediately see the benefits, but it's not happening because the big boss loves working and doesn't want to miss a day of their favourite hobby.

What's wrong hon, you've barely touched your

Castellers looking good! 8 stories!

Almost walked face first into this thing. It's bigger than my head. Never going outside again.

Not really a fan myself but there's no getting away from Sr Bunny's insane level of success. Streaming has obv been bad in a lot of ways but it's great that global audiences can now easily discover local sounds.

I *think* I might be done with my #TheTwen2ie5 list. Counting collaborations we have 24 countries and 14 languages. Almost fully NKC and ISC compliant, apart from a couple of French blokes and a Colombian pop sensation.

The obvious point is yes that is *exactly* the effect the bill should have.

The undoubted queen of biscuits. If you're Spanish you'll dip them in coffee for breakfast but obv best with tea.

Quote post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score The whole series is pretty fun

My #Top7Grunge songs - Mudhoney - Good Enough - Hole - Violet - Nirvana - Lounge Act - Screaming Trees - Dollar Bill - Superchunk - Throwing Things - Dinosaur Jr - Freak Scene - Sonic Youth - Drunken Butterfly *These might not all be grunge songs tbf

#ArtistFave15 15. Bomba Estéreo ft Leonel García - Como Lo Pedí (2021) Not an easy expression to translate ("as I asked" or "like the thing I wanted" maybe) but a song about unexpected fulfillment, and one of my favourites from the last few years.

#ArtistFave15 14. Bomba Estéreo - Qué bonito (2014) Leaning into the African roots of Latin music with this one

What I saw at Saturday’s rally was racism, pure and simple. Labour won’t tackle it until we can call it what it is | Diane Abbott

Ruin a song by nominating it in a pop poll

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

If you're around central London next weekend this should be pretty spectacular. One of the top groups of Castellers (human towers) is coming to London and will be performing at Potter's Field, just next to Tower Bridge. share.google/miYZRnN2pYGb...

#ArtistFave15 13. Bomba Estéreo y Systema Solar - Carnavalera (2019) OTT Carnaval fun

Probably my own limited perspective but the diversification in sci fi and fantasy writing. Very easy now to never read a book by a middle class straight white guy again. (I guess this was always true but not so widely acknowledged).

Clint Mansell's π soundtrack is as good a compilation of mid 90s electronic music as any, plus you get one of the best songs he recorded.

#ArtistFave15 12. Carlos Sadness & Bomba Estéreo - 🏄‍♀️Aloha🏄‍♀️ (2019) So cheesy it hurts

My other half was watching the Catalan news, and they included a clip of him saying that abortion was worse than the Holocaust, a line so thoroughly fucked in every way it's hard to process the sheer cruelty of the guy.

This paper shows that US sanctions against Venezuela killed more than 40,000 people in the first year, 2017-2018. The authors argue that the sanctions violate the Geneva and Hague conventions against collective punishment of civilian populations.

#ArtistFave15 11. Bomba Estéreo, Rawayana & ASTROPICAL - 👩‍🦰Siento (Virgo)👩‍🦰 (2025) Here's another good song

Or more likely they become MPs in order to push themselves into that world and get some of that sweet donor £££ and non executive directorships for themselves

Checking in on Labour supporters this week

Cannot be stressed enough that there is a crucial and fundamental aspect of the Jeffrey Epstein story that directly corresponds with the Jimmy Savile story, to wit: Everybody knew.

#ArtistFave15 10. Nelly Furtado ft Bomba Estéreo - 🫀Corazón🫀 (2024) This is a good one today! (I mean obv they are all good but anyway you might like it if you listen)

It's crucial to understand that what's bad about income inequality is not just that it enables elites to consume more; it enables them to *control production*. They decide how to use *our* labour and *our* resources, and shape *our* future. It is a dictatorship of the rich.

Show us the last four albums you listened to. (#Twen2ie5 edition) #last4albums

Juana Rozas is a potential surprise entry into my #Twen2ie5 ballot and it got me listening to the album again. It's magnificent!

#ArtistFave15 9. Zoe Gotusso & Bomba Estéreo - Voy a Olvidarme de Mí (2024) [I'm going to forget about myself] Beautiful little low key indie pop number

#ArtistFave15 8. Sofi Tukker & Bomba Estéreo - ⛱️Playa Grande⛱️ (2019) We're off to the beach today

#ArtistFave15 7. Bomba Estéreo - ❤️To My Love❤️ (Tainy Remix) (2016) Maximise your streaming numbers with this one weird trick (using an English title)

#ArtistFave15 6. Alex Serra ft Bomba Estéreo - 🌿RamaRa🌿 (2023) Stepping back to more folky traditional sound with this collaboration

Englishers, where are you? (let's find out where the regions really are) I'm going to make a map of where the English regions, are - but first I need you to share this link - forms.gle/sHs5mQX2pJxc... - England only I'm afraid, but I think we have already established where Scotland and Wales are.

#ArtistFave15 5. Bomba Estéreo, Rawayana & ASTROPICAL - 🐟Me Pasa (Piscis)🐟 (2025) The new album doesn't quite reach the heights of the last one but the singles are still great

Well this is excellent

These are a fantastic set of playlists. Music isn't what it used to be, no, it's much much better.

The govt has so thoroughly fucked the opportunity to electrify city transport. Delivery riders are choosing e-bikes over petrol scooters (a good thing!) but instead of making sensible regulations we get the police to steal bikes from low paid workers who had no idea their bikes weren't legal.

#ArtistFave15 4. Bad Bunny & Bomba Estéreo - 👁️Ojitos Lindos👁️ (2022) Quite a contrast in vocal styles here but I think it works out pretty well

#ArtistFave15 3. Bomba Estéreo - ✋Deja✋ (2021) I could easily have included half this album in a top 15, it's that good. Lush tropical vibes, perfect production and great songs.

Losing my mind over the takes that a bunch of racist politicians could just pivot to not being racist

#ArtistFave15 2. Bomba Estéreo - Soy Yo (2015) I think this celebration of self affirmation has prob been over used in the US but still remains pretty unknown over here.
