Summer Rain, by Life Aquatic Band from the album STUCK IN THE MUD

New music from Life Aquatic Band! lifeaquaticband.bandcamp.com/track/summer...

We just sent humans around the Moon and back.

Just imagine what we could achieve as a species if all our leaders believed in science.

It may seem like nerdy detail that the increasing weight of cars is worsening potholes, but it matters.

The car makers push to sell wider and heavier cars is increasing road maintenance costs and that affects us all.

Not to mention worse crash outcomes and less space to pass (wider) parked cars.

It has now been five weeks since the noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted from where he lives in Tehran. Any number of reasons might be why. We do not know. Again, please consider investigating his work.

Come on then, and remove him.

Join us in #Cambridge next Saturday to celebrate our 50th Listen! gathering. We'd love to see you there!

Using Spotify is just as bad as using X, in some aspects, even more consequential: Spotify is actively killing music, not just exploiting musicians. All other streaming platforms are better, and have as wide a choice. Migrating your playlists is dead easy. Please leave that evil platform - now.
