What's interesting is how the right wing have colonised this so quickly. They were dead against sampling, wanting 100% royalties for a three-second drum loop and so on because that was THEIR COPYRIGHT. But now they want to feed everything into their machine without compensation because FUCK YOUR...

A lot of Compulsory Fun in the office these last few days. And you either know or can accurately guess how I feel about that.

Interested in the Julien Baker/Torres album. Bit of a scabby week otherwise.

That RFK stuff is absolutely sickening. They really are the most disgusting people.

Oh, and Elon's human shield is evil. That's worth knowing as you go in.

These are cheering me right up. The shtick is that a Canadian journalist has scammed a 4 year press pass and turns up at The White House to rip Trump's cabinet. Oh, and everyone is depicted using marshmallows decorated by felt tip pens. The insults are superb.

I mean, the commitment that needed for a three-second joke. Total respect.

It's no coincidence that Rowling became a full time terf because her books weren't selling a fraction of what was expected and were getting poor reviews. She now has a cult around here who laud her as a saviour. That's the replacement for the popularity and excitement around the HP series. She's...

I thought Suede had announced a new edition of Sci-Fi Lullabies already but it turns out it's the original album rather than Vol 2. Either way, those buggers hardly let their fans get to the run out groove these days.

Permanently? The day may yet be saved...

It's not ALL bad news today tho'... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c39jrjm2w89o

The Cure's lows are truly low, it must be said. There's a couple of later albums when they are a pale photocopy of a parody of themselves. I had low expectations for Songs Of A Lost World but it's a genuinely excellent album.
