"flood" by Boris appearing on streaming services reminded me of what a huge impact the album had on me when I first burned it onto a CD-R a million years ago. An absolute masterpiece of minimalism & psychedelia that feels absolutely TECTONIC in scale.

Jamaaladeen Tacuma's playing on Marshall Allen's first solo album feels so right <3
Absolute honour to be mentioned on the Tape Label Report on @bandcamp.com !
Bezirk is a slow-moving labour of love, and mine and @darylworthington.bsky.social's tribute to openness and exploration in an era of closing doors and conservatism.

Absolute brilliant moment to take away benefits from 1.2 million people!
Those NYT ads before the Ezra Klein podcast are like "OMG you can look at news... but in an APP! 😮 "
A modern classic of which every household should have a copy! @moreeazemusic.bsky.social and @mondoj.bsky.social !

Dear Democratic Party – this is what the absolute minimum of leadership in opposition should look like.

We quite literally do not deserve this, sent straight from heaven to soundtrack hell.

Grandiose Bilder aus Bratislava heute abend: Die Proteste richten sich gegen Premier Fico, der als Marionette des Kremls die Slowakei auf einen pro-russischen Kurs zwingen will. Die Hoffnungen dieser Menschen ruhen auf Europa und nicht auf Russland.
Still worth a watch! It's silly in an 80s Peter Jackson kinda way - Def still good fun
Watched both "The Substance" and "Heretic" the other night, and both felt like missed opportunities. The Substance had an incredible vibe and aesthetic to it, but the #message was overly simplistic and repetitive. Heretic had such an awesome first 45 mins, then turned to trash.
Individual charts by @thewiremagazine.bsky.social contributors are always my favorite part of the EOY list season.
My picks include [ahmed] on @johnchantler.bsky.social's Fönstret, Zheng Hao on @darylworthington.bsky.social & @tristanbath.bsky.social's Bezirk, d'Eon on @hausumountain.bsky.social...
Norman McLaren was a groundbreaking animator who made his own soundtracks by drawing on film reel. I wrote about the wonderful new compilation of his sound work, 'Rythmetic' (which is also the name of one of his best films!) for @thequietus.com thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
First Trump and now Jacob Collier getting a grammy nom. America's fkn toast.
Let's just say that, theoretically, EU-funded research projects were using their funding to pay for Premium Accounts on Twitter to promote their work, thus enriching a fascist who's explicitly aiming to make Europe poorer through tariffs... that wouldn't be exactly 'smart' now would it?
Nazis having a good day in Austria (again)
A quiet final day before tomorrow's fateful vote here in Austria: either a pro-Russian Nazi-Tory coalition, or a centre-left coalition will take the government.
After almost a decade here I still have no vote.
Many hundreds of thousands like me in this little country can only watch, and worry.

More time has passed since the Paul Weller cover of Walk on Gilded Splinters than passed between Dr. John's original and the cover.
America: *Sacrifices all workers' rights and rips off its citizens spending billions on innovations that do nothing to address inequality*
Every European conference on innovation: "We're filing fewer patents than the US!! HOW CAN WE BE MORE LIKE THEM!"
