seems like a good moment to mention my chess blog... http://200opengames.blogspot.com/ 🐧

Keir Starmer is a wet wipe... https://gal-dem.com/keir-starmer-is-a-wet-wipe-lbc-caller/ about sums it up (y)

Kenneth O. Morgan - Labour in Power 1945-1951 He uses the word "centrist" quite a lot.

Ah, the old days... ;) I had a massive post punk revisiting binge a couple of years ago after discovering this site... http://fytini.com/filtig/ppodd_cake/index/home ...with a lot I knew, a lot I'd forgotten, and a lot I'd never heard of before ever.

Unknown Pleasures is superb (y) Substance is a decent compilation of releases elsewhere (which I mostly have anyway). Still not so much so IMO. Closer is no patch on UP but I liked it more than I expected last time I listened to it. Maybe that's just a nostalgia thing if it really is landfill...

Ah, the small pleasures of revisiting old threads at half past two in the morning.

Which they're steadfastly not doing :rolleyes:

guess I'll have to make do with him seeing himself lose over and over and over again everywhere, even if he denies it's actually happening

I agree it's difficult. Their method is: We asked our contributors to nominate their top ten records, CDs, downloads and streams of the year, then we counted up the votes. I'm guessing the points are therefore 1=10, 2=9, 3=8, and so forth, which seems all very fair. The problem is that "fair"...

The albums may all be good. But trying to pick the best records by committee, you just get a list of decent albums that everyone quite likes. That's always going to be a meh sort of list.

Personally I like The Wire very much (and Oto as well). I just think their end of year lists are shit – inevitably so, because of how they're compiled.

While I wouldn't knock any albums in particular, the resulting Wire list is always shit. It's a list of albums that several of their contributors put somewhere on an individual list for some reason or other. That always leads to a list of relative common denominator blandness that pleases no one...

Oh, absolutely. But still... it's not the Home Office declaring long-term residents illegal immigrants and flying them out in the middle of the night.

Serious criminals, deported by court order. Yes, there are problematic issues with that policy. But it's not the Home Office declaring long-term residents illegal immigrants and flying them out in the middle of the night.

Fuck convention. It's time Sir Keith actually stood up for something. The useless triangulating centrist bastard.

arrived from juno this morning, to go with a new ep from phil conducteur... https://www.juno.co.uk/products/le-talium-inalterable-ep/797597-01/ nice to see these guys back releasing records again :)
