E.g. JC was photographed hanging out with a certain academic in 2024, after the latter had revealed himself to be a genuine Protocols-grade antisemite.

The only customers I ever saw in the neon vape shop/mini-mart across from my old flat all wore hoodies and employed a lookout so not THAT surprising...

Definitely seen these guys play the Windmill

Man, two ex-colleagues (from different jobs) passed away from cancer this last couple of weeks. RIP Kieran and Christian.

Acknowledging the stark, ugly truth that the Republicans basically had no good reason to do what they have done for the last 11 years and have lapsed into vast collective psychosis over totally immaterial and utterly depraved delusions is terrifying, and as such most commentators simply do not do it

That's just Parisians in general, non?

Orcutt. Shelley. Miller. One hell of a gig!

The queue for Orcutt/Shelley/Miller outside Cafe Oto is currently 100% male and 90% over-50.

Anyone been to Belgrade? Tempted to make a trip there later this year...

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.

Glad to hear it! I loved those 90's FF Vocal Albums. "Long Distance" (based of the FF4 theme) is fantastic, but this is my all-time favourite Uematsu arrangement: youtu.be/bqJtYdFV3To?...

Final Fantasy: Love Will Grow - 02 Yuukyuu no Kaze (FF III Legend of The Wind) YouTube video by kamuirsx

Showing my age here, but I remember listening to this version in the early days on the Internet... youtu.be/-roCmpDQD8M?...

Ah man, I've been there! I agree they sound good, I might check them out if they ever come to London.

Amazing night!

Who was it?!

Metric!

Wintersleep!

The Burning Hell!

Colin Stetson!

4 days, 4 Canadian or Canada-based acts. *Maple syrup urge intensifies*

Indeed.

Not a big fan of the middle class white people on the train making condescending comments about Asian musical acts.

Always important to recall "#itwasascam" was initiated by a guy who defended Alan Bull, a man who posted unambiguous Holocaust denial material on Facebook, essentially on the basis that the Jewish Labour members that complained about it were trying to smear a good socialist.

Another synagogue got attacked in London today, one that a friend of mine used to attend. Most depressingly, many of the people minimising/defending/"false-flagging" this behaviour are people who are genuinely convinced they are "anti-racists".

True end of the era, this. My mum remembers watching 7Up when it originally aired, as a 5 year old

Everything Is Great! By Carsie Blanton & The Burning Hell YouTube video by Carsie Blanton

Probably on some MI5 watchlist after last night's fantastic Carsie Blanton/Burning Hell show, not least due to this politically astute earworm...

Was at a festival in Wales back in 2015, and stumbled upon an amazing set by a 17-year Norwegian that blew me away. Glad to see she's got the success she deserves!

Just saw Emily Haines sing 'Anthems For A Seventeen Old Girl' at Rough Trade East. Which was nice.

Four days, four Canadian or Canada- based live bands:

Metric (Toronto)
Wintersleep (Halifax)
The Burning Hell (Prince Edward Island)
Colin Stetson (Montreal)

RIP Matt Goodwin's bank account loooooooooooooooooool

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.

I can’t believe it 😭

Travelled from London to Barcelona to see her last year. Worth every penny!

Genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen a cultural venue post

Polyphonic Spree teasing a return to the UK...please let it be true!
