The winner of Nobel peace prize doing what the Government of the United Kingdom will not do: calling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 11h ago"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?" Navi Pillay upon winning the 2026 Nobel peace prize

'Joan of Arc', OMD's second single release from their third studio album 'Architecture & Morality', was released this day in 1981. It became an international hit, reaching the Top 5 in the UK and Canada and number 13 in Ireland.
#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles 7 Tour De France | Kraftwerk | 1983 A Kraftwerk standalone single from 1983. They did eventually theme a whole album around it but the original single version is a beauty. Possibly the only single featuring heavy breathing that received radio play. youtu.be/rTe7U92ecX8
#TheCureFriday Fascination Street | 1989 My second dip into Disintegration and this time it’s the US only single Fascination Street. The UK and Europe got Lullaby as the lead single and although I preferred that at the time, Fascination Street is my preference now. youtu.be/7ZsQdLlvuk4
The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.
#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles 8 Killing An Arab | The Cure | 1978 The Cure’s debut single wasn’t tied to a UK studio album. The b-side (10.15 Saturday Night) was and as far as I’m aware KAA has only been released on CD twice (both on 80s pressings) so a remaster would be nice.🤞 youtu.be/RFIwEQkH7sg

"They were ahead of their time, quite minimalist really. When I heard the b-side of ‘Electricity’, which was a track called ‘Almost’, that was like hearing Simon & Garfunkel, only in an electronic world." Vince Clarke on Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - S/T #ThePortal buff.ly/uYsK5cc

End the genocide. Drop the charges. De-proscribe Palestine Action.
Shocked, nay stunned, to discover that Clive Dunn's 1970s novelty number one hit "Grandad" actually merited a Japanese 7" single release.

#TheCureFriday Burn | 1994 Written for The Crow OST in 1994 but incredibly it wasn’t performed live until nearly 20 years later. Burn is now an essential part of a Cure live set. It’s also an essential part of my Cure top 5 songs list. youtu.be/mm-uozFJekA
