#PlayEverything in my record collection (@ 74%) #MonksMusic explores my obsession with Medieval & Renaissance music Here for music and art. #ASD but not in a good way. I post disability stories but avoid politics. Not a monk, don't dance

With their propensity for putting things up poles perhaps they will emulate the Stylites and remain there permanently

4th century deswrt ascetics are probably not what they have in mind, although highly influential on the liturgy

It's more likely 5.1 is being artificially split into 7.1 or 9.1

The signal should be coming off the source media, not artificially created in the amp, although I suspect that does happen

Jeremy Corbyn backs iconic Hackney music venue in battle against local development Former Labour leader calls on government to do more to protect music venues

If we don’t protect them from private developers, we will lose out on a whole generation of musicians.

Save MOTH Club!

I keep getting emails from a broadband provider telling getting me I'm about to get cut off & to press this button right now to stay connected

I suspect it's a scam

I haven't been a customer of theirs for years
