'Throughout the project was an idea of 'retracing the journey of the banjo from West Africa to the plantation in the Caribbean, to the American South.' "It feels really significant to re-establish the connection to that instrument and where it comes from."

OF DUB, by LEGION OF ONE 10 track album

Gentle nudge: Legion Of One's 'Of Dub' on is available on 12" Vinyl. This is facilitated through the on-demand vinyl pressing service Elastic Stage. The quality is great and it's entirely trustworthy. Interested to see if this catches on. Find link here frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com/album/of-dub

Love this album, real nice variety / range of styles in the tracks too

aleotoric w m-e, by Shawn Rudiman from the album yesterday sky

Shawn Rudiman released another banger of and album recently, and I feel like it went slightly under the radar. This track’s a beaut, pretty & real funky - quietdetails.bandcamp.com/track/aleoto...

YouTube video by ROLLANDOROCHA Sinead O'Connor - War (Legendas Em Português)

What I'm listening to today: "War"

Sinead O'Connor covering Bob Marley, stripped down, sharpened, into something like a weapon. This ran live on TV and all anyone talked about was the career-ending final seconds. No one understood why she did it. Child abuse? Absurd

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

Audio Damage – Linux Audio Development (LAD) LAD aims to make Linux more attractive as a platform for computer-based music production.

Did a smol interview for a Linux audio dev site you might find amusing. linuxaudio.dev/linux-audio-...

Letting hunger strikers die, arresting Greta Thunberg — this is not incompetence or even indifference. The UK state is deliberately making examples of people to ramp up the crushing of basic civil liberties and silence opposition to genocide

Scandalously at 1am, the government has just pushed through a law with far reaching ramifications.

It allows them to sign up to a parallel court process only accessible by corporations. There they can sue Ireland if we do anything to interfere with their "right" to profit.

This is a fundraiser in aid of Southeast Asia flood relief.

Join today to help test it before public launch.

Moved the listening party to Wednesday because we forgot it was a holiday lol. Also want to make sure a couple of friends can be there. 💕💝

This is a great read. @dan-bean.bsky.social and @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com are so thoughtful in their approach to releasing music, "ambient", psychedelia, release perfectionism ("it's a curse") vs fluidity.

To quote Marisa, the wife of #JDTwitch, in her post: "the most meaningful way to honour Keith is to keep playing his music, sharing your memories, and supporting the causes he cared about." In this thread, please find a series of links that will allow you to do just that. Please share widely:

Because they know their cult are uneducated, manipulated and too emotionally immature to admit to a painful, criminal history and make amends. Better whitewash it away like graffiti on a wall or something… #drexciyaforever

Your device is too hot, it needs to cool down a bit. It changes back after the phone cools down.

Screenshot of the first two questions in the survey - there's only six to answer. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland #Art

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Starvation as a Weapon: Gaza’s Slow Death Under Siege Palestine Square

Lovely short film from @rasherst.bsky.social on the annual pilgrimage to Sherkin.

All Irish towns centres have lots of empty and derelict homes but they are not on the market because hoarding and speculation is the how Ireland works
