Just saw a Reform councillor (Cllr Jones) in Worcestershire was told to apologise for calling his opponents 'monkeys' in a council debate (26th Feb). He sits on the council's Standards and Ethics Committee.

Monks - Demo Tapes 1965 (Spain re-issue 2007)

Apparently, Hendrix was a fan & took note of/complimented their gnarly fedback live guitar sound. i don't know if that's true or myth building, haven't looked into it.

Great demos compilation.

Live Nation settles US antitrust case Live ​Nation Entertainment β€Œhas ​reached ​a proposed ⁠settlement ​with ​the U.S. Justice ​Department, ​according to β€Œa ⁠court hearing ​on ​Monday.

Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.

The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.

But Trump just let them settle out of court.

We had a family, with 2Γ— under 6yo kids, move in next door at the beginning of the week. So far, it's been cacophonous.

He defined the Democracy experiment as a failure and said it was a mistake allowing women and poor people vote.

Not long now until our Easter UK tour. Really looking forward to playing Hebden Bridge and @walesgoespop.bsky.social in Cardiff (both for the first time) and Birmingham (for the first time since we were youths). Some tickets still available via Linktree in Bio if you fancy a Prolapsey night out.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.
