She should that you can't edge your way out of a cult.

The Beefheart LP I grew up with, wouldn't claim it's the best, but it's the one I have the most affection for, and Observatory Crest is one of the most beautiful & evocative things ever recorded.

Quiet Posters feed not working

why.bsky.team subscribed to the anti anti ai block list, blocking over 300 000 users

If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

I was quite possibly conceived in Malta, so wonder if this makes me a malteser (this is probably only funny if you're British)

I fear that Sweden are going to run away with this one, but I much prefer the Tunisian approach here.

In truth I love this Germany track, but we cannot allow anything over 10 minutes to progress to the knockout stage.

Another ridiculously strong opening match for day 2, Brazil show the class that makes them world champions and you cannot deny the win, but Morocco are getting my bonus vote.

The link here is to my old novelty song podcast, The Head Ballet. I loved this episode - mainly I sought guests with weird or obscure choices of novelty songs, I knew I'd need to tackle some of the Novelty Monoliths(TM) and @centuriesofsound.bsky.social was exactly the person to take on the task!

If you can read Chinese this is funny. If you can't then it won't be.

I was all ready to vote Turkey but this Australia selection is superb! When I was the manager for the abortive 2018 PWC I found so much great stuff and pleased to find out that the rich seam continues.

Another strong match! Understanding just a little Czech makes Zoot's banger also hilarious, BTW.

Actually now I think about it I do quite like tlačenka (a kind of head cheese) even if the concept is disgusting - the thing I regret most is utopenci, pickled sausages called "the drowned ones." - they seem to live on in your stomach for days.

Of the places I've spent the most time, for the UK it's almost certainly jellied eels, for China it's century eggs (which I once could handle but a switch went off in my brain and now they make me retch) & my Czech answer is tlačenka, which I once ate soused in vinegar & onions in front of vegan gf.

A picture of four of the lost pubs of Cambridge and the text "There have been 23 pubs on Newmarket Road - now only three remain. I'm making a documentary about these lost places for Cambridge Radio and I want your memories to share. You can send me an email at james@cambridge.radio if you would like to contribute"

FYI Cambridge people!

They forgot to take him.

Centuries of Sound 1878-1885

The experimental years; Edison's tinfoil recordings, The Metropolitan Elevated Railroad in Manhattan, Frank Lambert's talking clock, someone repeatedly saying "barometer" and the oldest recorded swear. Not easy listening.

When that second melody comes in (almost exactly two minutes in) it really feels like the proper 20th century is being born.

Should note that their (very nice-looking) website is here - britishmusichallsociety.com - and very easy to join at very reasonable rates,

No danger of that, they are only interested in being racist, that's enough hobbies for them.

They never would, because they have zero interest in any sort of culture.

Brilliant!

Yeah there is a very complex & uncomfortable relationship to the whole blackface minstrel thing, and the TV programme which was last aired the year I was born.

Oh if the guy was here he'd be so happy to hear you say that. I'm not even sure how you join, probably have to send away for the newsletter or something.

Some people never do

My dad is a folkie and until fairly recently used to play at a few pubs around Herefordshire.
