Nie mój cyrk, nie moje Musk-y

This is going to be great! Saw Heavenphetamine (Japanese duo based in Georgia- the Central Asian one) at the George last year for £5 and they beat LCD Soundsystem in my top gigs of 2025 list... youtu.be/7IXW7XalZfw?...

Following the 'ruled by 12 year olds' theory, these men genuinely think the rules-based international order is like their mum

The nagging shrill lady who won't let them do cool things like stick their heads in ovens, the cat's tail in electrical outlets, or play on train tracks

Reminds me of the UK circa 2018. Yes, bad actors exaggerated the scale of the problem, but there really was quite a bit of unvarnished AS on the British left. One guy was nominated as a local Labour candidate AFTER he'd shared a horrific Holocaust denial meme, and those who complained were ignored.

Ah, what I like to call the "Mogwai gig"

(They did their 3rd album "Boys and Girls In America" in full and their walk-on song was Blur's "Girls and Boys")

It's the second weekend of March which means it's The Hold Steady Weekender and needless to say, THERE! IS! SO! MUCH! JOY!

The misogyny of the judiciary even 30 years ago is really shocking. Read an article a few months back about men who got away with murder because "women mocking them" was seen as perfectly reasonable grounds for homicide.

THERE IS SO! MUCH! JOY!

@perefex.bsky.social Anna von Hausswolff has announced a show in Chicago- I would highly recommend!

The guy behind Laurence Fox's party is apparently a co-investor...

One of the few owners that could make the Telegraph even more batshit right-wing than it is currently, but with a veneer of respectability. A key investor funded Laurence Fox and Andrew Bridgen, and was one of the main original financial backers of Reform...

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)

If Twitter was an accurate gauge of public opinion, we'd currently be approaching a decade of Corbyn in No. 10

Goldeneye (although that's mostly because I'm not an FPS fan, and my friends *loved* to play no time limit multiplayer). More recently, Celeste. Nope, not for me.

Many white Americans would mete out punishment to me if they could for being ambiguousy brown

text over a photo of bruce campbell walking along a trail in a picturesque mountain area: Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it's referred to as an "opportunity," so let's go with that - I'm having one of those. It's also called a type of cancer that's "treatable" not "curable." I apologize if that's a shock – it was to me too. The good news is, I'm not gonna go into any more detail. I'm posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change - appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment. My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie Ernie & Emma this fall. There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don't always go hand-in-hand. That's about it. I'm not trying enlist sympathy-or advice-Ijust want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will). Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you're the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon! Much love, Bruce Campbell

this is getting shared around so may as well here, it is real, sending bruce love and luck 💜

I remember asking for walking directions in Los Angeles, and being looked like I was mad.

Eugenics is back on the menu, boys!

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

So many previous
normal commentators hsve suffered such profound brain rot these last 10-15 years...

She’s learnt her lesson about wanting hotels full of foreigners and immigrants being burnt down. See. Prison does work

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

He's doing a one-off show in a tiny venue in London tomorrow. First gig since lockdown, I think! Think he's releasing new material soon.

March gigs: Meilyr Jones, The Hold Steady, Teeth of the Sea, Jens Lekman, Stella Donnelly, Truthpaste (w/Ninush), Wolfgang Flur and Haiku Salut. Quite a few other tempting shows this month (particularly Jehnny Beth and Ichiko Aoba) but *gestures at the economy*

I see the Daily Mail/Farage are campaigning for people like my Dad (a foreign-born citizen of the UK) to be banned from voting. HMMMM.

I remember exactly when Rik Mayall died- my boss was really upset. He was a British comic legend!

A nervous tic motion of the left...gig of the year so far from The Whistlemeister General himself, Andrew Bird, performing The Mysterious Production of Eggs in full.

You'd think Reform would be delighted that a white, working class plumber got elected and they beat the metropolitan elite university lecturer.

Oh sweet! They're really good fun.
