Frederic Heath-Renn @flahr.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Is Pikmin right-wing because it's about the ruthless dictatorial exploitation of a native population for personal gain, or is it left-wing because it's about the oppressed learning to band together and organise to achieve goals communally that they could never on their own? 010

Frederic Heath-Renn @flahr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I've been really enjoying Wire's A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck this week, though it amuses me to listen to an album and think "ah, this feels like the obvious accessible single" and then discover the track in question is called "Kidney Bingos" 140

Frederic Heath-Renn @flahr.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Sometimes you read people call records or bands "unapologetically pop", which raises the question of what a song that was "apologetically pop" would sound like. 100
