Early April Show now up #ondemand via @4zzzradio.bsky.social & @thefaceradio.bsky.social before @thehorrors.co.uk played in #bne (see pics).

👂 Aus bands #chiffonmagnifique #01thurman #tomorrowsforecast #selvemusic #specialfeatures #slowrip #swapmeat + a teaser for the @4ad.com show up next.

And…..cancelled. Thanks @signal.org for communicating, well, nothing, with us paid users. My $ don’t seem to matter so off they go to a better place.

I don’t even know what that means. And shouldn’t have to.

Again, this turns Signal into a coder platform / advanced user platform and not something for the everyday user of a chat platform; something you can rely on as a secure chat architecture by design. I and some buddies convinced our friend group to migrate to @signal.org - what a mistake.

Not to labour the point, but the reason I’m so aggrieved is that you always find out about these things from a third party - usually a media story - and never @signal itself. WTF. Is @signal all gob and no trousers? Seems that way. Reconsidering my monthly donation. Seriously.

Because, also, give me a fkn break @signal.org : “It takes an ecosystem to preserve the fundamental human right to private communication.” Did Apple’s PR team write that for you?

Might need to rethink this slogan in light of this: “Privacy isn't an optional mode, it's the way Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.*”

*Unless Apple hasn’t patched something.

What do I hear when Barbados comes on the radio? That sax break. James Valentine touched people in lots of ways, besides that sweet, comforting voice

I love what you do but I do not understand @strymonengineering.bsky.social entering the analog pedal game and just dropping industry standards. Seems very WTFish to me when they’re generally so creative.

So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

Looks to me like you have a first draft.

Set It Up (2018) Two overworked and underpaid assistants come up with a plan to get their bosses off their backs by setting them up with each other.

This was fine. A charming #romcom in parts, awfully American in others (seriously, if cockheads like their bosses actually exist, no shit their country is in decline), some laugh out loud bits. Etc. #moviesky #filmsky boxd.it/dpik

Apparently I have @bsky.app Invalid Handle Syndrome, something characterised as being an “intermittent issue that could resolve itself”. If only all problems came with such a diagnosis…

Thank you. A vixen calling for mates as it turns out!

RocKwiz To Return To The Espy For Four Nights Only After filming 175 episodes of RocKwiz at The Espy and later moving to a Melbourne filming studio, the team is returning to its spiritual home next month. But, there’s a catch: it’s for four nights only. Presented by Stone and Wood, RocKwiz is returning to its beginnings, hosting four nights at the Gershwin Room at Hotel Esplanade – The Espy – in St Kilda, Melbourne from Tuesday, 26, to Friday, 29 May. The first of 175 episodes filmed in the intimate room aired on SBS in 2005. Across 14 seasons, the music quiz and performance series amassed a cult following before its final television recording at the venue in 2016. The series then went on hiatus before airing on Foxtel in 2023, but in between drinks, RocKwiz Live! continued to sell out shows across the country. A decade later, RocKwiz returns to its spiritual home, but the cameras won’t be rolling this time, making for an up-close, unmissable experience. The return to the Gershwin Room will host Julia Zemiro, Brian Nankervis, Dugald, and the RocKwiz OrKestra, plus a roster of yet-to-be-announced special guests, beloved games, and artist duets. Embedded Content The four-night-only event will find the show running from 7:30 pm until late. Kwizlist members will be able to access pre-sale tickets this Thursday, 16 April, from 9 am AEST, followed by the general sale on Friday, 17 April, at 9 am. General admission standing, seating, and VIP packages will be available to punters. You can sign up for pre-sale tickets and find more information on The Espy’s website. In a statement, The Espy’s Venue Manager, Ben Burgess, shared, “To have RocKwiz return to the Gershwin Room is incredibly special for us. This room has such a rich live music history, and RocKwiz is a huge part of that story. Bringing it back in such an intimate format feels like a full-circle moment for The Espy and for Australian music fans.” Reflecting on the success of RocKwiz, Julia Zemiro added, “The huge success and longevity of RocKwiz is a crazy beautiful mix of the right people at the right time in the right place. And that place is the Gershwin Room at the Esplanade Hotel. “We made hundreds of shows in that room for television, and it’s where I got to find the skills I needed to make this beautiful show thrive. To be coming back here is a beautiful coming home. See you there!” Brian Nankervis concluded, “Well, this is incredibly exciting! Part of me has missed the intimacy, chaos, history and the sheer energy of The Gershwin Room since 2016. I can’t wait to be back in there, using what we have learned from 10 years of live shows in all sorts of venues around Australia and creating new magic moments in the room where it all began.”

Trip-Hop Strikes Back The delightfully zonked-out genre from the mid-’90s is having a moment.

Excellent @bandcamp.com article on #triphop, and nice to see some Aussie artists amongst it.
