Recent records listened to...

You think people move there *by mistake*?
November 9, 2025 at 10:59 AM
Records have been played, including the new ones from Rose Io and Johnny Trunk.

All pretty decent, some obviously great - and I may have acquired an unexpected taste for Italian thrash metal.

Always a good day that starts with a new record from Ron Geesin and Johnny Trunk!

Every time I see pics of these two together, I am freshly astonished that the country which, for almost my entire life, was the most important and powerful in the world, is now controlled by actual idiots.

Via Andrew Field on Facebook, re Farage.

"Braveheart is a great film."

Unsolicited Brix pic.

When watching a Japanese movie in which a cop can see, stamped on their foreheads, the number of sexual partners everyone has had (though only while the cop is masturbating!), I did not expect this Everton fan to pop up.

More Things wrong than there are sentences in this report on the derby from the Edinburgh Evening News.

Rangers fans confront the board last night. Almost as funny as Celtic's disallowed goal. Police called and everything!

Not sure what the worst thing I saw yesterday was - Michelle Mone whining that she's the real victim of her own apparent fraud, or this, where a man who looks to be in his 60s admits that he likes this teenage looking AI 'actress' because she's a virgin.

Vinyl listening over the weekend.
September 29, 2025 at 10:15 AM
Cool I things kept arriving this weekend!

I put this disclaimer in the front of all @obversebooks.co.uk books now. Like you say, it'll get harder to be sure no AI has been used at all in a source as time goes by and it becomes more widespread, but you're right - not doing it knowingly is the key.

Also memorably used on the Penguin Classics cover of Ecce Homo, back in the day.

A handy Groyper primer by Sophie Labelle.

Decent @officialpvfc.bsky.social lineup today.

Hard to believe that this minister was really as honest about Charlie Kirk as this - he 'stood specifically against nonviolence', apparently.

Which is true, I suspect. He advocated violence against minority groups often enough, but still...

Or it could just be the BBC being rubbish again.

I don't usually post Twitter stuff, but these are serious allegations of bullying in the Edinburgh West Lib Dems - and while I've rarely heard anything other than that Alex Cole Hamilton is a bad 'un, I've generally found @cajardinemp.bsky.social to be a decent MP.

Scottish Tories joined by Lib Dems and almost all of Labour in deciding the genocide in Gaza is what … too complicated and nuanced to oppose? My dreadful ‘representative’ Alex Cole Hamilton amongst them.

Though to be fair, Discogs says five other people own it.
September 3, 2025 at 9:42 AM
Today's listening, as usual on this date.
