For faaaar too long I believed the Aberdeen art scene was worth an effort. It’s not. It’s weird neoliberal city that barely cares about art unless it is a populist flashy legacy devoid spectacle. This old codger is finally developing long overdue cultural myopia.

BBC stating as fact Bob Vylan shouted ‘death to IDF soldiers’. That is not what was said and plain wrong. ‘Death, death to the IDF’ is easily not about killing soldiers but getting rid of a brutal criminal military regime.

I basically need to get some research funding to put a body of work together that can inform artists how to force organisations and institutions to move beyond their commodification. Or to not need organisations and take direct control of agendas.

Spent the 10 years plus of my life actively giving a fuck about the arts in Aberdeen. That’s taken me into my 60’s. I have zip to show for it other than a disdain for arts ‘leadership’ and institutional monopolising of agendas. I have grown a keen interest in fucking with the system though.

So, went all in for a pair of EarPods Pro 2. Wanted smooth integration with my phone also for hearing protection. Can keep volume down and experience up. These thing are like science fiction for my listening experience. A treat for being 60 in a few weeks. They are incredible.

The west is in panic mode about Russia’s military. Anyone paying attention to how ineffective they are in Ukraine and how the war is starting to impact the economy. Hardly a massive threat, other than nuclear, to other countries.

We absolutely cannot let James Watt achieve his ambition of becoming a serious media figure. If he wants to carry on making pineapple flavoured beer, he’s very welcome to. Anything and everything else needs to be immediately checked and throttled at the root.
