as promised! a horrible quality video from the techno rave outside Parliament earlier, from like 20 minutes after Orban conceded:

Boney M Magyarul Rasputin YouTube video by István Király

Always up to speed with current events on this channel, here is a Hungarian-language cover of Boney M's "Rasputin" to celebrate the demise of someone who was - until very recently - much-loved by a particular Muscovite.

Oh, those Russians!!

#Orban
#ByeBye

Their supreme leader and top commanders were killed. Military bases, factories and bridges were reduced to rubble. Their economy has taken blow after blow. Yet Iran’s authoritarian rulers believe they have emerged from this war in a stronger position than when it began.

Quite the use of the passive voice in this lede, eh @nytimes.com?

Here's what happened:

Square promotional flyer for a radio show titled “Sovereign Glory.” At center, a black-and-white cutout of a person leaning into a circular ring of piano keys, as if playing from inside the instrument, set against a cosmic, star-filled background. The ring resembles a keyboard loop, with text around it reading “Piano Arc,” “CRSTL.FM,” “Sundays,” and “Disc Jockey Randall Roberts.” The surrounding frame is muted pink and purple with lime-green text listing featured artists including John Zorn, Harry Partch, Caroline Shaw, Massive Attack, Wire, and others. Side text notes the show is archived on Mixcloud.

Hey friends. Two hours of magic early tomorrow morning. Archived on mixcloud. Sovereign Glory.

Ecstatic drone: Lou Reed Drones at Big Ears.

Ecstatic bliss: Sō Percussion casting a spell during its performance of Reich’s ‘Drumming’ at Big Ears. Life-affirming.

Just saw their (his) beautiful set at Big Ears. He did a sublimely mournful version of ‘The Way We Were.’

Photograph every single one of them maskless.

I watched a former roommate smash his clock to that song after he accidentally overslept and got fired from his job.

Neil Sedaka The Tra-La Days Are Over

The Neil Sedaka-backed-by-10cc album is one of the great unheralded weirdball records of the 1970s. (It’s also the best record I’ve ever bought for £1 at an Oxfam.)

 I tell myself I will not go
