It's almost exactly 15 years since the last weekly Optimo. Coincidentally I just found this which we handed out on the last night - 250 Optimo tunes as chosen by those who attended. Had we picked them I think it would have been a much cooler selection.

Good times at Creeping Bent's 30th anniversary / endgame in Glasgow tonight. End of an era. It featured the 1st gig by Glasgow's finest avant-funksters, MacKenzies, in 40 years. They were sensational! Whole thing was great - the best of Glasgow!

I got to share a smoke with David Lynch outside the Glasgow Film Theatre when he was giving a talk on Transcendental Meditation. Possibly the only good thing that came out of being a smoker, which is of course what did for DL. 💔💔 #don’tsmoke

Have had this record forever yet somehow didn't notice its greatness until today. So awesome! I'm almost prepared to absolve Richard Branson of all his evils for giving the world the Front Line label back in the 70s (though he had next to nothing to do with it). www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUYJ...

I used to keep a diary of record purchases so know that 40 years ago today I bought Treasure by Cocteau Twins (a little while after it came out). I adore this album & have recently fallen in love with it all over again, John Bonham OTT drum samples and all. Treasure fans, what's yr favourite track?

Inbox: ‘Wanted’ posters of healthcare CEOs wheatpasted around lower Manhattan ahead of today’s Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference. “Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class,” per anon communique.

wanted posters on a light post taken at night of Steve Nelson, president of Aetna, David Joyner, president & CEO of CVS Health. Both feature photos of the execs with three bullets labeled DENY, DEFEND, DEPOSE detailing the wrongs of the healthcare industry (but not legible enough in the picture to transcribe).

“Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.

Wanted posters of Marianne Lake, Denis Coleman, Brian Moynihan, Robin Vince in similar format as others, on a wall.

Wanted poster of Brian Thompson with an X through his photo featuring the same bulleted text as the others.

“Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.

Communique:
On Wednesday morning over thirty CEOs will gather at the Conrad hotel for the second day of the Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference to discuss how they can become richer by extracting wealth, time, and energy from the working class from all over the world.
To welcome them, anon actionists put up wanted posters of the leeches attending the conference, including Martin Smalls of Black Rock, Robin Vince of BNY Mellon, Denis Coleman of Goldman Sachs, and of course, Brian Thompson, the former CEO of United Healthcare.
These CEOs run companies that control trillions of dollars by stealing money, time, and labor from the working class. Do they care about the problems of poverty, homelessness, and injustice at these conferences? No, and their actions are violent.
Health insurance companies (like financial services companies) don’t provide us with anything useful - they only limit our access to healthcare. Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class.

F**K Black Friday. Wish it didn’t exist. It is capitalism unleashed, so it also irks me even more when so many labels etc. I love feel the need to jump on it. Maybe if I lived in the USA I’d get it but here it feels like something that has been foisted on us, and it is inescapable.
