Last week I figured out how you can duct tape some stuff together on Bluesky to make it work like a platform just for music. It's really easy and you don't need to code or anything. I put together some instructions so my friends can do it too. Reply with your shiny new music feed!

An incredible, revelatory intervention by my friend Dr Tarek Loubani. Humane, scathing, courageous. Watch it and share and be enraged.
