David Cassette

Loving the artwork and packaging on this CD from Mayshe-Mayshe.

Alice (for that is her name) is an independent dream-pop artist from Yorkshire.

She writes dreamy, lofi, electro-pop songs about nature, imaginary worlds, her glitchy brain & lots of other things.

Burning People to Keep Castles Warm, by Orchard from the album 'Til You Fall Down

My favourite song by incredible Scarborough two-piece Orchard. Had the pleasure of seeing these folks live a few times and Joel and Rosie have never failed to kick ass:

The effect these obscure artists have on us fucking matters, whether an algorithmically curated playlist picks up on these artists is so distant from any actual importance. If you want more people to know about the music that has changed your life, tell the people in your life about this music.

Elon Musk is going to have Nikola Tesla spinning in his grave so fast he's generating wireless electricity again

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Yeah! Definitely some influence from those bands! Thanks so much for taking the time to listen. And feel free to recommend to your US friend. Can be really difficult finding the right audience for this sort of stuff.

Thanks! That's really kind of you.

I’m now @ $550/$1K to cover August’s remaining household expenses. After paying my rent, Internet and phone bills, I’m dead broke; getting stiffed by multiple booking clients hasn’t helped. Anyone who donates $50+ can get a custom song; the third one in my queue went live on Sunday 8/3! 🎶❤️

This is gonna be an absolute blast of a night! October the 13th is basically Halloween right....!?!

We need a double bass player for local gigs in and around York. Folk / Americana. Ideally with backing vocals. Originals and covers.
Do I know anyone out there?

Reminder to folk (at least those with a tolerance for homespun, untrained lo-fi recordings) that I could use a bit of feedback on this. Been working on it for a while but would appreciate other ears on it. Might make for a decent Sunday afternoon listen.

47 years ago #otd 11th August 1978 the debut release by the Fall was released, 'Bingo-Master's Break-Out!' a 3-song EP. The beginnings of something so creative and unique. Thank you for all that amazing music Mark E Smith and the Fall.

This is why it can be so hard to trust middle-class people, even on the left. The moment you bring up class inequality it's like "hey, you're not supposed to point out MY privilege. That's not supposed to be how this works. It's the other privileges that are bad"

Sometimes it feels like internet discourse has poisoned a lot of purportedly leftist people into completely abandoning the concept of intersectionality

When they finished talking down to me I calmly pointed out that I had experienced the things they were claiming weren't linked to class and they blocked me. Evidently you can have all the rainbow flags and progressive buzzwords in the world at your disposal but still be an absolute prick

Still can't get over the dickhead on here a bit ago who told me that classism/inequality shouldn't be priorities on the left and then went on to lecture me about how being a working class person hasn't exposed me to violence/abuse (it has) or affected my chances of getting into university (it has).

There is this weird excitement that “centrists” seem to have with throwing poor people, immigrants, and trans people under the bus.

Almost as if they get excited when democrats lose so they can blame vulnerable people.

"AI makes people angry so it's punk rock" is something only a person who has zero understanding of punk would say. It's reductive nonsense that ignores the importance of community, creativity, perseverance, rejection of corporate bullshit, emphasis on human expression etc that are inherent to punk

The police in the UK are good at what they do. The problem is that what they do seems to mostly involve domestic abuse, racism, arresting elderly and disabled people for peacefully protesting a genocide and covering for high profile paedophiles.

Keir Starmabteilung

This is the arsehole that called the police on her own constituents trying to talk to her

can't be doing with soulless centrist ghouls today. Ghastly fucking things.

try having principles instead of mindless adherence to bullshit

Do you seriously believe Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation?

Surely any principled human being should be making those decisions when the laws are blatantly corrupt, infringing on civil liberties and protecting a genocidal regime. At what stage did you decide you were a soulless robot who must mindlessly conform?
