One of those doo-wop hits that somehow sounds both like it's being sung by the girls down the street and also like it's been beamed down from another planet.
Jeff Melnick@melnickjeffrey1.bsky.social · 6d agoOh no. Arlene Smith of the Chantels (of the Bronx) has died. She was truly one of my favorite voices ever—16 when she had this first, earth-shattering hit. youtu.be/_YS23MA0Jtg

My dislike of quote-dunking does not apply to elected representatives of the party responsible for the most anti-LGBTQ+ actions of any government in my lifetime, one that is literally attempting a trans genocide, trying to pretend the party he represents isn't worse than this.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · last wk.My thoughts are with everyone affected by the horrific attack in Berlin and their families. This appalling act of violence has no place in our society. London stands in solidarity with Berlin’s LGBTQ+ community. This is why Pride matters. Those who seek to spread hatred and division will never win.
Glasgow Councillor Audrey Dempsey of Reform spoke at the racist rally today that turned into a racist riot. After weeks of falsely claiming that Glasgow is "lawless", they brought assaults, vandalism and hate to our streets.
oh shit yes I forgot to say I did a whole show of Other Sorts Of Guitarist for ROVR this month, you should listen
slightly sore of head but extremely full of heart after last night’s incredible LWB show. what a joy to finally hear these songs live and to be in a room with so many amazing people 💕 ty @robertdallasgray.com x

Duille@duille.com · 2w agoScotland’s Sunday Post newspaper has today published a report that the Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed Glasgow School of Art building will not be restored. Catastrophic if true; it seems likely more will emerge this week. Full story: https://tinyurl.com/gsarb

Aquarium Drunkard@aquariumdrunkard.com · 3w agoaquariumdrunkard.com/2016/04/20/t... A mixtape as map, séance, and rabbit hole. Compiled by Broadcast's Trish Keenan shortly before her death in 2011, Mind Bending Motorway Mix remains one of the great journeys through obscure psych, forgotten pop, and uncanny sound. Essential listening.

You don't have to over-explain in your work. You don't have to SHOW everything. Trust the intelligence of your audience, their ability to dream of a world bigger & more mysterious than this. Its, perhaps, enough to KNOW the boys are back in town, without telling where them wild-eye boys had been.
Listening to these new songs rn and they are absolutely cracker 🤌🏻

Incredible pickup from Mars Tapes in Manchester the other day. We don’t have a patio what with living in a tenement in Glasgow, but Patio Hall of Fame is a state of mind right @stevenhyden.bsky.social?
This is such a great example, and also one of the things that made me pick up Snow Crash (although to be fair I was probably around 14 when I first read it and kind of insufferable)
Andrew Male@andrewmale.bsky.social · last mo.Opening up a judgement free zone but what's the smallest thing that discouraged you from entering into a vast cultural landscape that others have found vastly rewarding. Mine was discovering that the hero/protagonist of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash was called Hiro Protagonist.
There are a couple competitions for 18+, but the overwhelming majority of these comps are for minors. For children. Is Florida suggesting that IDTANA and CLRG conduct anatomical inspections of hundreds of 10 year old girls before their competition? It's a disgusting implication.
In ‘terrible but also funny’ news, the state of Florida is currently beefing with… An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha, aka the world’s largest and oldest governing body for Irish Dance because the NA championships are being held in Orlando and CLRG refuses to ban trans girls from competing as girls
