Me too. Maybe Heart Of Glass if that was before.

After having one in the charity shop Anne bought her own. Couldn't live without it.

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Bruce Forsyth's ghost is 'haunting' famous West End theatre where he is buried

Nice to see through you, to see through you, NICE!

Think I saw that in Shindig.

Rise Above in Archway run by famous psych metal head. Of course they'll be giving prime position to their own stuff but they have a big enough shop.

I'm not sure what the context of the original question is.

Second Scene in Watford was opened by a guy I vaguely knew called Julian who was into prog IIRC

Someone UK based would have better idea.

Mayhap Dig in Liverpool? I know Ant who was running it is into Freakbeat Psych and Nederbeat. I don't know many that are so narrowly dedicated anymore. Most shops cover a variety of genres to stay afloat.

The I'm joining the war on autism meme with Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks giving a thumbs up

Anyone familiar with this live album? Like a lot of sixties concert albums it sounds kinda dodgy though it was released in 1983. Tracks have crude sharp fade outs to crowd noise. Is it just the studio recordings badly edited or what? Music is top notch but the sound is jarring. Nothing much online.

The Irish government said they would make this life-saving change but then they went back in their word so a whole bunch of pedestrians and cyclists are going to die for no reason. #SpeirGorm

Reminder for tomorrow night that it's non stop psychedelic sounds and lights how. With banging garage fuzz with an added tropical twist from Lex Woo. Basement of the Thomas House from 8pm.

The Climate Conversations 2025 survey is now open. The government is asking people to share their views on building a more sustainable future!

Some of the questions are poorly designed and risk encouraging climate science denial, so it's vital that strong, evidence-based voices are heard!

Not surprised to see Corbyn doing a crappy both sides take since it's basically what he's done on Ukraine.

I saw something suggesting this is originally a pro Norman meme. Kinda out-traditioning the reactionary traditionalists. But then satire doesn't really work anymore.

Sure guys. And while we're at it if you want to really be utilitarian, then copy dairy farmers who put down ninety to a hundred plus percent of male babies.

BVG installs new signs as Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Straße replaces controversial “M-Strasse” The name was long regarded as one of the most distasteful remnants of German colonial thinking. For years, activist-led initiatives protested against the name Mohrenstrasse, or “Moor’s Street”, in Mitte, pointing out that the word – once widely used to refer to Black people – carried an offensive and racist legacy. The debate dragged on for years and inspired much graffiti in the area. Ordinary citizens would often add an umlaut to the “o”, turning the name into Möhrenstrasse, or “Carrot Street”.

I love the idea of a guerilla umlaut

Which would be more historically accurate FWIW

My theory is calling them idiots is a figleaf alternative to calling them hate filled shitheads.

Perhaps wildly incurious about the interconnected nature of public policy would be a diplomatic alternative. He says it's the Libs fault and that's a good enough explanation for a lot of maggats.

Only a few dates this year so don't miss out. Trippy lights and heavyweight tunes in the Thomas House basement on September 13th

Back in the basement with a set of tropical psych from Lex Woo and garage and freakbeat from our own Niamh Lynch and some old gubbins from muggins myself with some of the finest vintage wax you could hear.

1/ In March Govt approved a costly, polluting state-owned LNG terminal. Now Minister O'Brien is leaving door open to dangerous US backed LNG project in Kerry. This breaks climate commitments, raises new geopolitical risks and does nothing for energy security.

1/ Ireland’s Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism & Employment has concluded that the European Commission’s tearing apart of crucial corporate accountability laws will fail to protect workers & communities. It raises major concerns about unchecked corporate abuse. #CSDDD

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

Still funny and still true.
