Not sure what I am going to use this for yet. Probably more music focused with a bit of cybersecurity and VPNs thrown in.
I'm not usually very patriotic. As a dual national I'm neither fish nor fowl, but this does make feel proud to be English. Not the sporting achievement, which has little to do with Englishness, but instead the wholesomeness of the support for this fantastic team www.theguardian.com/football/202...

My teenage son said I should listen to Alex G. So I am listening to Alex G. I think I might be too old for Alex G as I think the G in Alex G might stand for "Guff". I am also unable to accept the non-consensual sax within his songs. I feel very aged rn. #music #NowPlaying

This is an actually good and accurate article about #jungle by Shawn Reynaldo - one of just a handful I have ever read in 30+ years of loving this music www.ninaprotocol.com/articles/new...
New-School Jungle Sounds a Lot Like Old-School Jungle—And Many of Its Most Celebrated Figures Aren’t Exactly “New” Either

I don't usually accept #DnB but the new Rufige Kru (a #Goldie alias responsible for some early 90s bangers) is surprisingly solid and (mostly) doesn't suffer from the relentless boom-tish drum work that makes the genre so often unlistenable open.spotify.com/album/4Rqkoy... #NewMusic #spotify

Another browser extension ownership change gone wrong. The owner of "Browser Boost Extra Tools For Chrome" sold the extension and transferred it late January. Didn't take long for it to go bad for 30,000 users. The new code redirected users dynamically to whatever pages the new owner chose.

My #AOTW is the new Miki Berenyi Trio record, a lovely continuation from those early Lush records. Swirling and melodious guitars, twinkly synths, gorgeously ethereal vocals with a bit of bite to them, and laidback groovy beats. I hope it blows up! open.spotify.com/album/6mp7bE... #NewMusic #Music

Turns out if you have a sudafed, 6 espressos and 3 giant chocolate cookies from Waitrose and wear a Garmin sports watch, you'll get at least one, possibly multiple, "WTF are you doing???" heart-rate alarms. Who knew?

Premature Evaluation: Deafheaven 'Lonely People With Power'
We’ve been here before, but let’s go back. Could we just go back? To “Mombasa,” I mean. The last minutes of “Mombasa,” the last song on Deafheaven’s last album, 2021’s Infinite Granite.

I wish Gazoonga Attack would reissue their truly wonderful EP, Your Girlfriend is Shit and their only album, Sex Nerd. They aren't on streaming, while the CDs were self-released in small numbers. Their music almost impossible to find even via file-sharing. Such a shame, it's so good! #punk #music
