Just what the Doctor ordered - a mighty dose of Hildegard as the boils are lanced. Feral Hildegard rather then good-girl Hildegard. It helps. You're welcome. heinali-yasia.bandcamp.com/album/hildeg...

Founded in 1980, 4AD had become the paradigm of an indie label by decade’s end: highly curated, creatively autonomous and successful enough to operate on its own terms. And while that success continued (and expanded) into the ‘90s and beyond, its vision in the ‘80s was at its purest and strongest. In this Panorama, we look at some of the many highlights from 4AD’s first half decade.

President Catherine Connolly has called for action on war, genocide and climate change, saying the normalisation of war “has never been and will never be acceptable” to Ireland, a nation with a long tradition of neutrality and peacekeeping.

The most basic argument I can give you for ditching Spotify for *anything* is Spotify, uniquely, pays *nothing* for much of the music on the platform. Is there *any* improvement in paying for Spotify over pirating? You're a paper-thin moral slice away from buying music from a bootlegger. Why do it?
Confirmed: From 2024, tracks on Spotify will have to be played 1,000 times before they start earning money

@michaelbegg.studio !! Our time has come!!! "As it’s become harder to trust a high number of followers, the opposite—a conspicuously modest following—has attained a certain cachet."

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:
