the single bad (?) thing about the rise of gender neutral toilets in venues is that it makes it a lot harder to make factually accurate "no queues for the women's toilets at the [band name] gig, eh!" remarks. anyway had a good time at the tubs gig tonight

an artist being described as "constantly searching for new accordion timbres" is as much a threat as it is a promise

yes, I did think it was odd that he'd invite someone who at most inexpertly prods at a synthesiser every few months, but I guess ed has greater appreciation for bad electronic music than any of us thought. looking forward to hitting the road!

is there a german word for the sense that when you are hanging out with multiple people who share a common first language that isn't english, the polite thing to do is leave to enable them to converse in it? I would ask the four german speakers I have been in the pub with but,,,

seems an oversight that the platform for recommending me short form content that needles at my various fears and anxieties and the platform that tells me that ellen arkbro is performing at glasgow cathedral festival is the same. hope this gets patched

can understand this as there’s been so much pushback over the years to heaney’s political project in this collection but would probably put it higher myself because harsh old norse inspired language in the bog body poems still gets under your skin. excited to see the rest of the rankings!!
