I had great fun talking to Rayna Russom about her new leather-charged record 'Wet'. We chatted about the leather SM scene, its links with electronic music, experimentalism, as well as why trans women are seemingly so drawn to (and good at making) electronic music. www.juno.co.uk/junodaily/20...

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

Begs the question why even pay for the higher tiers, but I do think this is probably a bad move when anecdotally (although I keep seeing this sentiment further afield) more and more people are turning back to their physical collection.

I think my problem with the screaming about AI being "the future, deal with it", is that I remember when HD-DVDs were the future, 3D TVs were the future, Blackberries were the future, and more recently so was the Metaverse.

'Coyote Vs. ACME' is a riot. Absolutely packed to the brim with sight gags, surprisingly emotional, and a proper laugh-a-minute. Don't think I stopped giggling. Shameful that it was going to be consigned to the bin.

Art by Confounded Fowl, from Reddit

This comic by Confounded Fowl pokes fun at the massive scale of the Marvel cosmic entity Galactus by showing him straddling the globe. While the Fantastic Four confront him in New York, his legs casually land on a beach in Perth, Australia, where a local sunbather greets him with an unbothered "Ayo bro."

It was impossible to cram in everything Káryyn and I talked about in this feature, but her story is an important one and is entirely intrinsic to her music and 'Physics Universal Love Language (Pull)'. It's an absolutely fantastic album as well.
