Totally missed that Crime & The City Solution were playing Manchester next week. Gone, gone the heady days of having any finger on any flickering pulse:

Shifty When power begins to shift in society, everything becomes unstable, exciting and frightening. Living in Britain at the end of the 20th century. From acclaimed film maker Adam Curtis.

There’s nothing quite like an Adam Curtis documentary, and Shifty is quite spellbinding. It’s dripping in nostalgia, but there’s a clarity and wit to the storytelling, even at its dreamiest/ most nightmarish.

Extra points for the opening scene in Episode 1.

A tracklist from a TAK TENT radio show "black_ops 17.05.25," featuring a list of various artists and their respective works. The background is dark with a grainy texture, enhancing the moody atmosphere.The face of Arthur Rimbaud is emerging from the shadows. The list includes unique titles, in multiple languages, indicating a diverse selection of tracks.

This Saturday's show on @taktentradio.bsky.social
