    Q Magazine Presents: The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones

    Just to be crystal clear, my vote's a protest on behalf of Sharon Tate.

    'Woke capitalism' in 2020

    Wondering if any corporations are getting excited by calls to defund the cops. Citigroup and Verizon running the new 'community projects' - but also the new well-armed police squads. Why stop there - what good's a con rotting in a cell when s/he could be packing boxes in an Amazon depot?

    Synchronicity

    This was another doozy...in between finishing "White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings" and George Floyd getting killed. From a book of reprints of '60s Situationist small-press publications, put out in the 2000s:

    Synchronicity

    Frequently since March. 'The Wasteland''s been cutting in and out of a few. Having a bout right now: in the past 24 hours, I've had four separate, unrelated sources (2 books, 1 song, 1 YT video) reference the goddess Fortuna and/or the wheel of fortune. I wasn't seeking it out. Then today I...

    Sly and Robbie

    This is one of my favourite dub albums (though I guess technically it's more of an instrumental album with mild dub FX...but whatever). All vocal introductions by the indefatigable JAH THOMAS, a man whose voice should be bottled to cure hangover paranoia.

    The original alt-righter.

    The Waste Land (1922)

    And in Iain Sinclair's 'White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings' - "When two men meet a third is present, a stranger to both". Weirdly, read The Wasteland for the first time this year, spotted that coincidence, then logged onto Woebot's Zoom book launch, and he's talking about isolation-induced...

    Never going back to the office

    Incidentally, accidentally replying-all is a myth. It's more like pretending to accidentally reply-all so everyone can see my witty comment/incisive opinion.

    Never going back to the office

    It's kind of amusing they paid big bucks to some PR mob to come up with 'Carrying a handbag' and 'Caffeine-filled air'. Bet the Zoom brainstorming meetings were a hoot.

    Never going back to the office

    It'll be such a lovely reunion after only being able to talk on Teams once a fortnight :confused:

    mariah carey

    My favourite Mariah Carey story was the time some cash-strapped children's hospice wanted to auction a tea set she'd used in some publicity shots, and she smashed the whole thing up with her shoe because she didn't want anyone putting their lips where hers had been. Are there any good biogs of...

    favourite carnival sound

    Can't remember the name, but there was a ragga one on St Luke's Road in '95 which was incredible - bass speakers so loud it was like standing in front of a fan. It's where I heard that "666, the number (?) of the beast / Turn it around and you get the police" tune that nobody's able to identify...

    Never going back to the office

    Sounds:cool: @Leo. Question is, does my boss get with the 'new normal' or revert to the "we MUST have bums on seats 'cos that= productivity" model...like we're all back at school and need to be ticked off on the register...? It's so silly and pointless. I've wanted to be like you and work from...

    This was a nice RHK side-deal too

    WashYourHands' Top 23 (+77)

    I like that one - sounds very '80s now, but has a tough 'horror/action B-movie soundtrack' feel. Plus the lyrics - Martyrs Of Pale - stine! / High on ampheta - mine! :)

    Never going back to the office

    I still don't want to. I've got fresh air and natural sunlight in my flat (vs. air-con and strip lighting in a basement-level open plan); I can pop out at any time of day, or call a friend and talk shit, or listen to King Tubby while I'm working, or order stuff and know I'll be in to collect...
