You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht β hands out for balance, uncertain on your feet, swaying and looking sick.

'Konow-How' - Kings of Convenience

Fair play this is an extremely funny stitch-up. If you want to understand British indie music when I was a teenager just know that people like this turned up on a six monthly basis
Heβs not playing chess literally. Heβs not playing chess figuratively. Heβs not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.
Ha ha ha π Yes he would

I think "stop showing this shit to me" is a reasonable feedback to give Youtube for its shorts suggestions.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

No plan, no endgame, Trump is careering towards disaster.
It is quite possible to see the Trump presidency entirely through the prism of market manipulation for private gain.

Day 8: A Song That Feels Ahead Of Its Time
'I'm Afraid Of Americans' - David Bowie
Dismissed as overwrought satire at the time. Sounds on the f**king nose now.

It just feels like, across the board, journalists have become unmoored from reality.
Maybe itβs Twitter. Maybe itβs the Overton window. Maybe theyβre just tired.
I have no idea, but things really, really have changed.
Using a song born from grief and reflection as a political theme for strongman theatrics says everything about the moment. Art created to process loss now repurposed for spectacle and power. Culture deserves respect, not exploitation for authoritarian branding.
These songs are picked specifically so the outrage over their use will make clips of Trump go viral. That's why they never choose classical music by long-dead creators. Or even instrumental versions of songs by living artists who have turned to fascism. No one would pay attention.
Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?
I was just extolling a friendβ write stories from your life down. Even if you donβt know what/if anything youβll do with it. If youβre in your 40s or older you need to write your teens and 20s escapades down right now.
Or dictate into an audio file. How quickly your life becomes social historyβ¦

I wish I had heard Stevie much earlier. My gateway to soul, funk, jazz and black music generally.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and theyβre simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was βyour piano is too close to the fireplace, youβll dry it outβ and if thatβs not the internet in a nutshell I donβt know what is.
