Death Grips - Billy Not Really YouTube video by Death Grips

This is the Death Grips song in case you are intrigued youtu.be/QWR0-s30WsY?...

I bet there are loads of people doing things like it in Experimental Music - strange hookups of equipment. But to actually do it as part of emotive and expressive songs? It might still only be DI

Actually i think it was a whole album based on bjork samples if memory serves, which it may not

One of my students played a track in a class on sampling - by Death Grips, where the drums are triggering Bjork vocal samples. She provided them. That is the only DI-like i can think of

Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia

You could see if Rough Trade does mail order - or Resident in Brighton. It is designed as an exclusive for UK record shops, so your best bet is to try the biggest of them which I am guessing is RT.

There will be a party like this in the U.S. one day

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Is America contagious? Scholars in political extremism are documenting the global spread of right-wing populism.

Orban’s defeat also removes a major part of the far-right populist infrastructure worldwide, which I wrote about this fall: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hi JD Vance. I think Nigel Farage and Reform could definitely do with your help in the May elections here

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Hungary election live: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power Long-serving prime minister beaten by opposition after early results showed clear lead

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

Hungary election live: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power Long-serving prime minister beaten by opposition after early results showed clear lead

And Orbán is out, by a landslide. Other authoritarians will be feeling the chill. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

3. Nothing is inevitable. There are models, new ones every day, for getting off the path of autocracy. Follow global democracy movements like you would the NBA. Get invested. Hungarians just showed us how to beat cynicism. The future can still be ours and we and MUST can learn from others.

BREAKING: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian elections after 16 years in power - with opposition Tisza party on course for landslide victory.

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

Orban, Bolsonaro, Trump, and all the rest of these goons want you to believe they are inevitable and, once in power, invincible. They are not.

I’ve checked out of BS a bit so apologies for just being promo guy BUT I have a book to promote. (out May 7). Had some lovely quotes come in from early readers, so huge thanks to @luketurner.bsky.social, @simonreynolds.bsky.social, @adellestripe.bsky.social, @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social.

Cheers - yes a 5th Anniversary Edition is ridiculous!

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

I was promised that history ended in 1989, man. I didn't consent to all this history happening during my lifetime.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

today sure feels like one of the all time ‘so i still just gotta go and do my little job during all this?!’ moments

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

This is absolutely insane and 25th amendment grounds in and of itself
