I like Dean Blunt a lot, as an artist and as an interviewee, but I'm not sure what he wanted from the other people in that room. On the one hand he's saying that marching is limited in its use (and there's definitely a strong argument for that), but on the other he ends up concluding that sitting around and talking is pointless too. Surely the latter is precisely what he wants people to be doing, to reframe the anti-racism discussion in the UK - he could have stayed and elaborated on the interesting points he made, because it's not 100% clear where he was going with it, and most people would've been interested to hear.
I just feel a weird mistrust of the fact that a music paper is showcasing a rising artist having good politics.
Have you ever had the logan argument?
i mistrust novelist as i dont think he knows anything about anything apart from mcdonalds in lewisham but why would you mistrust a paper showcasing an artist having good politics?
Ofc. we've long-since established the exchange of you saying 'yeah I don't feel that way' and me being histrionic so I get this may be a personal peculiarity.
Having loved your bloggariddims jazz mix, I reckon you're a bit of a jazz authority. So what do you make of the jazz on TPAB and U/U? Half-baked?
