Big Day Out in Cardiff! I'm helping make history in Wales by getting the first Greens elected to the Senedd! Will you come along too?

This is a historic opportunity for the Green Party to break through in Wales.

Join us in Cardiff Saturday for the biggest action day in @walesgreenparty.bsky.social history. πŸ’š

Be part of it πŸ‘‡

To your dad for him, or to him for you / a sibling? If the latter, it'd be a song aimed at kids i'm guessing.

Private Eye column titled, "Oh My, Omid!"

Article begins:

Meanwhile one of the comics criticised for appearing at the Riyadh comedy festival, Omid Djalili, took to the pages of the Guardian to defend himself from charge of allowing himself to become a mouthpiece for the Saudi regime.

It was not the most convincing argument. "As an international performer I like to connect with local artistes," Djalili sniffed. "As a Middle Eastern comedian I am of the view that a blanket boycott tends to dismiss and patronise ordinary Saudis, often those eager for exposure to diverse culture. There's a saying in the Middle East: 'It's not about what you hear, it's about being here.'"

And indeed, that is a saying in the Middle East. Specifically, it is the slogan of a recently launched campaign by, er, the Saudi government's Tourism Development Fund.

Article ends.

Reminder that Omid Djalili isn't just another bloke with Twitter brainworms, rather he's a paid up propagandist. There are reasons you don't see him moaning about Brits jailed in Dubai for posting war footage on social media. Thousands & thousands of reasons.

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.

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.
