“The man who thinks creativity might yet become a technology is the man who stands no chance of ever understanding what creativity is. But we can be sure the technicians will eventual find us a bad mechanised substitute and persuade themselves it is the real thing.” Theodore Roszak, 1969.

Out today. Some new moves from the Reigns boys but continued excellence. That 'America' tune is a bit of an earworm

I think it's fair enough to be wary but with all three of those examples the attention it pulled towards them can't really have been expected, and none are the kind of artists not to engage it on a direct level

You'll need someone who followed it more closely but iirc the allegations turned out to be a bit of good old Irish sectarianism

Let's not get carried away now. The Falklands war was a way for both governments to bolster support at home. Entirely cynical.

A bit of both, or some kind of slacker shrug that combines the two. 20 y/o "so, everything didn't go miraculously well then?" Me 'Not so much, that's not really how it works' 20y/o "Had my suspicions that was the case. Didn't kill yourself though" Me 'No. The impulse fades a bit over time'

Gallon Drunk were just generally one of my favourite bands. Saw them a good number of times. They were always great.

We don't have to go, but unlike the many other bands that reform and tour, even make new records maybe, we don't appear to have a choice in whether we hear all about it or not. There's something uniquely annoying about them in that way

Well, the setlists for the big comeback shows was essentially the first two records plus a few bits 'n' bobs. So it would seem everyone is well aware there was a cut off point.

Quakers in the UK are pretty liberal on homosexuality. They lobbied for gay marriage. (Not so true for Quakers elsewhere)

Jennifer Jason Leigh? That's disappointing. Although I'm not sure I'd really care what she had to say about much of anything really. Same for the rest. Genocide-deniers. Bin.

This is very much at the shallow end of this problem I would say. If we can even describe being given vodka as a problem.

Nobody knows the band Chat Pile? The wild shirtless lyrics of Raygun Busch? The deliciously vicious guitar of Luther Manhole? The bong rattling bass of Stin? The competent drum work of Cap’n Ron? @chatpileband.bsky.social @theflenser.bsky.social @echoesanddust.com

So... Reform apparently want to think they are not a far right party and Astley 'did not accept the Homeland Party was "extremist"' We really need to get a new Overton window installed.

I have a feeling you will be one of those 'learn to speak English types'? 'Violence' has meanings that extend beyond the physical. But again, even were that not the case, calling menacing or intimidating behaviour 'thuggery' is not incorrect simply because there was no element of physical violence

Jared mumbles into the void @ouchmonkey.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
noun - The violent, criminal acts that are associated with thugs, and/or the fashion, manner of speaking, and demeanor associated with them You know Google is free, right? But even if it were not your mental gymnastics would not change what this was.

If we're going to split linguistic hairs about this behaviour, menace and intimidation fall under the term 'thuggery'

10 acts you’ve seen as support acts: Happy Mondays Pavement Mudhoney Pixies Mercury Rev Stereolab The Sundays My Bloody Valentine The Young Gods Hole I tend not to indulge these things but this caught my eye. Seem to have got stuck in a particular line of thought. Tempted to go much more obscure

Excellent long read piece on Ballard. As always, these things make me want to re-read him but this is also strong on current resonances

This gets worse when they start behaving like they're some sort of standard that younger bands, attempting very different things, do not meet. Korn were shit. System of a Down were shit. Stop it.
