Saturday read #2. Trip folk? 1890s-meet-1990s? Why not? Ahead of a weekend show @ruthhazleton.bsky.social talks us through meeting of minds. "I don’t know it if it was the soundscape or the beats but it evoked this kind of atmosphere that for me was so attractive" www.bernardzuel.net/post/now-is-...

NOW IS THE TIME TO BEND RULES AND TIME SAYS RUTH HAZLETON

A FEW DAYS out from a gig that still has the whiff of rule-breaking about it, how the hell are you Ruth Hazleton?“I’m well, bordering on a bit bonkers,” she says as her partner, Bill, another musician...

Right/wrong? Bordering on sacrilege or what folk has always done? “I remember panicking towards the end of the album going this is nuts people are going to freak." @ruthhazleton.bsky.social on how traditions can mean many things & the song does not remain the same www.bernardzuel.net/post/now-is-...

The Doctor was right says folk singer/historian/iconoclast @ruthhazleton.bsky.social, rules about genre & history are just wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. Get songs that get to the meat of our lives, that's "the cultural threads I guess that surpass time.” www.bernardzuel.net/post/now-is-...

"There's even more space in The Heron (Two Sisters) which is airy, almost flighty, even as the murdering sibling ploughs through the ringing tone & marching banjo - 'Love does not make women free/Nor does murder bring peace to thee'."

If the Albanese government wanted a trade policy retaliation for the Trump tariffs, I’ve got just the thing: local content requirements for American content companies. Force Netflix to carry 25% Australian content for local audiences, or pay a big levy

Have come to the conclusion that grant-writing is essentially a task in being able to reformat templates to answer hideously-worded questions, over-complicate simple project ideas and over-simplify complex creative process. I swore I’d not do this again, but here I am. #independentmusic

Sage advice, though we’re still waiting for Australia’s first confirmed witch bottle, and that becomes less and less likely with the passing of time. Apotropaic markings and concealed shoes, however, we have a wealth of these! #folklore #concealedshoes #witchbottle #Hexafoil

Urine bottles... If you find a bottle of urine in your building it may not be magical or a "witch bottle". Builders did, and still do, pee in bottles and conceal them when it is too difficult to leave the site.

My excellent brilliant partner, Lorana Bartels, writes today that mandatory minimum sentences are bad policy. Applying this bad policy to the real problem of antisemitism and other hate crimes is particularly ironically stupid, as it undermines the rule of law. This shit will only make shit worse.

Mandatory minimum sentencing is proven to be bad policy. It won’t stop hate crimes

Extensive evidence shows the government’s plan to legislate mandatory minimum sentences for hate crimes, including antisemitic acts, won’t be effective. Here’s why.

Meta blues: The cognitive dissonance in reading about Trump, Musk, the state of Gaza, the brooding hysteria of an upcoming Australian election, reading about the appalling plight of arts workers and musicians… then being urged to buy a whisk-wiper. A. WHISK. WIPER.
