Saw yet another racist say "knife crime has exploded" so I actually checked. There's this graph of hospitalisations for knife assaults (obviously a more accurate picture than arrests/convictions which change with policy) - this goes up to 2018, then the more recent data is in the link in next post.

JD Twitch Cosmic Selection for Joe Muggs Worldwide FM Aug 2022
The ever generous JD Twitch didn't need asking twice to do a section for a broadly ambient show, and knowing I love Gong and Hawkwind went to town with both and their offshoots. Salute, Keith!

What a lovely response to this, despite my absence from here, Keith's doing really, but thanks so much Bluesky friends 🙏💛
Hello! It's been an age Bluesky pals. Are people still on here?
I'm attempting to spend a little less time on SM atm.

This is lovely and helping me through the day. Not only was he a great DJ, he was a lovely fella too. Used to send me Optimo mix CDs they gave out at the club, interviewed him about the rave he put on for the film Beats and other bits and he was brilliant. The true spirit of Acid House and punk rock

Transcendental gorgeousness from Clair. I struggle with two grief milestones in January, I used this hour to allow myself to just feel it.
R.I.P Keith, and all the other wonderful people we've lost. Life can be excruciatingly short 🖤

Just a note to all the Americans, no matter what you're seeing over there, we don't like your President. We don't want him here.
He has been 100% kept away from the public here in UK & that's why it all looks rosy.
They know allowing him to be face to face with British public would be messy.

Thank you to the very lovely Ransom Note for having me do a two and a half hour musical ramble round my garden - which features quite a few highlights from the Once In A Blue Moon session at We Out Here....
Joe Muggs has lived and breathed electronic music culture for many, many years…
So it is with some excitement that he's agreed to don his ambient trousers again for part 4 of our 'Seeds mix'.
