After a trial over the last few years, Ireland has launched a permanent scheme giving a basic income of €325 a week for artists.

2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).

The Basic Income for Artists (BIA) project is believed to be the first permanent one of its kind in the world.

Radcliffe should remember we immigrants and children of immigrants are here because of British colonisation and make a huge contribution. He moved to Monaco to avoid £4bn tax. His club Man U owes everything to migrant players and migrant supporters. He’s an embarrassment to the club and game.

'Two factors have combined to destroy the monster successes of the album’s imperial past. Firstly, unit sales only truly exist in the physical realm. The bigger problem, however, is the sheer weight of volume...'

Incredible lineup of TG, Cabs, DVA and Z’ev on this flyer from a show that happened on this day in 1981 that was sadly well before my time… 🖤⚡️

There’s loads of incredible underground AND mainstream music to come out of the 80s like some of the greatest music ever made in both instances……
I am of Generation X, which I guess must be a prime consumer age because when I go into stores, when I'm on hold, outdoors at an event, I am inundated with the music of my youth: the hits of the 80s.
Thing is, with some exceptions, it's the worst music of all time. And I will never be free of it.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I absolutely love this record shop, so it was a pleasure to present the MAXIMUM POWER of THE SWORD versus THE WIZARD on the Quietus today. Dare ye enter the crypt?
It was a pleasure putting this together for @thequietus.com - I’ve long been obsessed with Crypt of The Wizard. One of the oddest, most genius labels in deep underground heavy metal (and beyond). Also a shop. And a festival.

There is a serious point here that funding tends to ignore older musicians, writers, artists and is obsessed with youth. Seems unfair on those who start late in life, or have devoted years to kids, or being carers.
Just got served this ad on Facebook, which I guess is equivalent to a letter about bowel cancer screening
