What were Jethro Tull doing in 1983? Live gigs judging by the equiment they ordered. In 1983 I worked as an engineer for Soundcraft, a mixer manufacturer in EC1. Jethro Tull had a Series 4 stage mixer, Kate Bush a series 2400 studio mixer and Georgio Moroder's studio in LA two 2400s. Tested by me!
I was expecting more songs about ley lines, poaching and outdated modes of agriculture, but what I got was the late British blues. I wanted to like it, and soon I did.

It's 1978 and my favourite LPs, along with Kate Bush's The Kick Inside, are Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses. So when I see Repeat: The ...

I had not seen Nights of Cabiria by Fellini before - and was pleased to get the chance! He was a magical director. I bet TPTV don't put on Fellini Satyricon though!

This seemed a very interesting report. They are talking about $3.5 billion earned by Meta just from the criminal scam ads last year. Surely Sir Nick Clegg can't have know about this?? www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Wikipedia says Nathan Gill is a former Bishop of the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). Do the Mormons like Russian "donations"?
Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

I love the music on Bluebeard - classic Ennio Morricone - possibly doing a cheapie but the cymbalom rendering of a theme from Once upon a time in the West gives the right Central Europe ambience. Nice. Curious this film sunk without trace - it could have been a cult noir.

He's part of BRICS, however South Africa and India did not send heads of state. China is Brazil's largest trading partner, so Lula better be on good behaviour!

Lula da Silva said his visit does not contradict Brazil's policy of supporting peace. He assured that the country supposedly maintains neutrality. At the same time, no visit to Ukraine ever took place.

First time I've ever seen a reference to Lewis Mumford on the boards. Third Programme stuff. The Myth of the Megamachine going back to Egypt and the pyramids. Mumford claims Maynard Keyenes owes a lot to the Egyptians! (?)

To think this woman stood for parliament in Dulwich and West Norwood in 2010. Thank heavens she came third.
The Conservatives only seem interested in talking to a very small group of people angry at imagined slights
