Daniel Lurie can film as many little social media bits as he wants and he will never get a crowd reacting like this just by walking and waving, lemme tell ya.

Saw yet another racist say "knife crime has exploded" so I actually checked. There's this graph of hospitalisations for knife assaults (obviously a more accurate picture than arrests/convictions which change with policy) - this goes up to 2018, then the more recent data is in the link in next post.

JD Twitch Cosmic Selection for Joe Muggs Worldwide FM Aug 2022 The ever generous JD Twitch didn't need asking twice to do a section for a broadly ambient show, and knowing I love Gong and Hawkwind went to town with both and their offshoots. Salute, Keith!

....this magic of Keith's own and ALSO....

Peace for JD Twitch w/ CLAIR 30th December 2025 Playing Ambient, Modern Classical. Peace for Keith For JD Twitch and our pals. Some compositions Keith liked, some pieces he wouldnโ€™t have the chance to know, something he made under a secret pseudon...

So if you need your mind and soul soothed and enriched, this by @clairhotgem.bsky.social for her friend Keith could not be more perfect. But ALSO.... it sits utterly perfectly alongside....

Tbf he was young and no doubt going through the ego maniac substance abuse stage many celebs do, he's better now I'm sure. Still cheeseball tunes though ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿ˜‚ Marti Pellow lived in Helensburgh for a bit decades ago when I was growing up there, or he would appear around there at least.. he got Kb'd from The Granary one night, & he did the 'do you know who I am' thing ๐Ÿคฃ
Did you see the photo of Keith & Mike on my NTS show? If not look closely..

This is lovely and helping me through the day. Not only was he a great DJ, he was a lovely fella too. Used to send me Optimo mix CDs they gave out at the club, interviewed him about the rave he put on for the film Beats and other bits and he was brilliant. The true spirit of Acid House and punk rock

Hello! It's been an age Bluesky pals. Are people still on here?
I'm attempting to spend a little less time on SM atm.
Last year one of my closest pals, Keith (JD Twitch) shuffled off this mortal coil..
I made a 'Peace Mix' tribute for NTS radio.

Just a note to all the Americans, no matter what you're seeing over there, we don't like your President. We don't want him here.

He has been 100% kept away from the public here in UK & that's why it all looks rosy.

They know allowing him to be face to face with British public would be messy.

BDS movement call for boycott of Radiohead's 2025 tour The pro-Palestine BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement has called for a boycott of Radioheadโ€™s newly announced 2025 tour.

It's not like Radiohead haven't been asked nicely over and over and over again to stop being bastards about this, for years, and their response is always condescending bullshit www.nme.com/news/music/b...

The look of horror on the journalist's face is indictactive of the Pavlovian response of almost all Western media to any mention of the genocide in Gaza.
A whole profession specifically tasked with challenging narratives, brainwashed into knee-jerk compliance.
