Blitz: the club that shaped the 80s Delve into the music, fashion, and design stories that shaped Blitz – the club, the people, and the movement that transformed 1980s London style.

It turns out that a song of mine (NICE VIDEO, SHAME ABOUT THE SONG) is an actual exhibit in this. Am v chuffed, as I definitely wasn't anywhere near as cool as any of the folk involved in all this at the time. Or now.

I'll try again but it might be I'm trying to pay for the same thing twice (!).

Music is an incredible leveller of a playing field. Many autistic young people face barriers to music participation because programs aren't designed for their needs. Explore our new resources for autism-friendly singing: https://f.mtr.cool/litexhdhfv #MusicEducation #Inclusion

Good riddance. A pet project, as was Brexit, of Michael Gove, the man more destructive of the musical health of Britain than anyone in our modern history.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

#BlueLights is so beautifully written, directed, acted, with such integrity & care, truly a privilege to watch. Each series fresh highlights & character depth: this time Katherine Devlin & DearbhΓ‘ile McKinney absolutely heartbreaking in every scene. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

not going to push that pic of Farage at LBC into your feeds again, but I'll note two things: first, the whole paracetamol nonsense is profoundly misogynistic. It blames women for their children's autism, and doesn't give a shit about why women might take paracetamol.

Copyright (probably) won't save anyone from AI There is lots of justified outrage at the way AI companies have "stolen" millions of creative works to train their models. But there's every chance it's legal.

Hi Thomas good to hear from you - yes indeed our industry is very vulnerable from scraping - though this article and its responses is an interesting take on over trusting copyright as a solution www.jamesrball.com/p/copyright-...
