After a necessary and lengthy break, I’m back to my The Fall listen through, picking up with Fall Heads Roll which, I can report, despite a rather unnecessarily long opening track, is a rather fine addition to the cannon.

Wasn’t really expecting Still in a Dream to be primarily about @simonreynolds.bsky.social . Took me a bit of getting used to but I think it works. It is strange to read the current thoughts of the writer who led you to so much life changing music on the writing that first brought you to that music.

Emel Memiş, a highly respected feminist economist at Ankara University, has been arrested along with 105 other Turkish activists on terrorism-related charges ahead of a forthcoming NATO summit in Turkey. I stand with Emil. Show that you do as well. www.straitstimes.com/world/europe...

Time to end the contract with Palantir “From my investigations, it looks like the UK sovereign solution [using their own data systems] in places like Greater Manchester are producing better results with faster systems and happier medics” @martinwrigley.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/9348...

NHS England admits key data does not prove Palantir’s effectiveness

Health service adds caveat saying that performance improvements cannot be attributed to £330mn contract

All the dismissals of the Guardian book list aside, I’d be delighted if my son was doing any of these at school. He’s in S2 and they’ve not done one novel all year.

I want to see a Guardian style list of the greatest 100 drone records (but not done by the Guardian, obviously).

Listened to the Flipper album today for the first time (I think) since I was a teenager. It’s every bit as good now as it was then.

I once left Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot on a train and have never replaced and thus finished it. I had to return Omensetter’s Luck to the library because I was leaving the country. Never got a copy, so never finished it. This is the year of mopping up dropped classics.

There’s something very BC/R&S about Hard Wax descriptions. Utterly minimal but utterly precise.

Eventually watched Christopher Andrews’ Bring Them Down and my big take away is that Paul Ready, who plays Kevin in Motherland, is a phenomenally good actor. I’m struggling to reconcile those two roles to the same body.
