    25 years of WANG!

    Well I've got my ticket. Anyone else up for this? Radioactive Man! Plaid! Simian Mobile Disco! I guess it's a long way for @IdleRich to come, but you never know - what about you, @pattycakes_ ? I know you used to go, but can't remember whether you're still in Berlin these days. I don't think...

    THE DESSERT

    So then, what's for pud? I scrumped a load of really good apples today, and already have a stash of blackberries in the freezer, so for me it's as easy as ABC (Apple & Blackberry Crumble).

    Good music in unexpected places

    I just went to YouTube to listen to something and, on a whim, clicked on one of the news links that came up, which I never do. A jolly tale of three people being killed in Nottingham, but what's that on the soundtrack? A surprisingly pretty good John Carpenterish synth workout, like you might...

    Got a release on a 'proper' record label, innit.

    Pretty chuffed about this! https://www.beatport.com/release/hashish-cult-fanatic/3837973

    Hardboiled

    ... or softboiled? While I do like being able to dip Marmited soldiers in the runny yolk, I find that attempting to softboil eggs almost invariably leads to some of the albumen remaining as a revolting, semi-fluid gunk, so on balance I come down on the side of hardboiled.

    Luka rates all counties as GOOD or BAD

    Well go on then. I'm not interested in ratings out of 10 or anything like that. It's a simple approval/disapproval binary.

    US mid-term elections

    Are these expected to be the usual run-of-the-mill affair whereby whichever party doesn't have their man in the White House is expected to make gains? Or is it more interesting this year due to splits within the GOP between relatively 'normal' candidates and those riding the MAGA train? I assume...

    'Charter cities'

    Can anyone who knows about this idea fill me in on some of the details? Because from my slender understanding, they sound unequivocally like something very, very bad indeed, something that every party other than the Tories ought to be screaming about from the rooftops.

    Pervert Of The Day

    What (and I cannot stress this enough) the fuck?

    I don't think Tucker Carlson is OK, you know. The rest of this video is hilarious enough, in its combination of post-Fight Club crisis-of-masculinity cliches and butch homoeroticism, but the best bit is the naked guy with the glowing dick-monolith.

    COLDS/FLU - home remedies, trip reports, lies, slander etc.

    Got one at the moment, so taking a doss day. Good excuse to drink ginger wine during the day - it's self-medication, not alcoholism! No covid chat, please.

    What's on DJ Donald's Mar-a-Lago party playlist?

    Pretty obvious one to kick off with: Come on, people. Let's get some tunes going! THE BEST TUNES! Everyone says so.

    Hey craner, what's going on in Kazakhstan?

    This seems like @craner's field of expertise, although I'd also like to hear @shakahislop's take. I asked my Kazakh colleague today, and she is at least open to the government's line that the protesters, or some of them, are paid agitators.

    Bill Gates/George Soros appreciation thread

    I truly believe that the best hope for our species' survival in the coming century lies in the selfless actions of liberal billionaire philanthropists. Only they have the resources and vision to keep us all healthy and vaccinated, and they may even be able to do something about overpopulation...

    MEGALITHS - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc.

    Paging @WashYourHands... This is so cool. The bluestone vr5r2es that form the oldest megalithic phase of Stonehenge have been traced to a specific site in Pembrokeshire, where an existing stone circle was mostly dismantled around 3000 BC and dragged to its present location, 140 miles away. And...

    SEA SHANTIES - breaking news, gossip, piracy, pressgangings, etc.

    Hark now, ye scurvy land-lubbers! Lovely five part-version here:

    Luka's thread to explain why we're now starting threads on each other's behalf all the time

    Who started this? Why is it a thing?

    On the Spirituality of Money

    The Eye atop the Pyramid on the $ bill. The status of usury not only as a crime, but as a sin. Islamic banking. The Protestant work ethic and material success as a sign of God's favour. Edit: THANKS TO SHIELS, WHO IS TOTALLY COOL AND NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE VALIDATION OF STRANGERS ON THE...

    Massive Luxury Overdose - Work EP

    A very old friend of mine (Ilya - @IdleRich knows her too) is half of a coldwave/EBM duo called MASSIVE LUXURY OVERDOSE, and they've put this great EP out on BandCamp: https://massiveluxuryoverdose.bandcamp.com/album/work Overall feel to it: coming up hard on a fat line of speed amidst the...
