also don't see (or maybe just hope) how it isnt a big problem for Reform. "they would have gone in" might be the best attack line
funny that there's a chance starmer actually leaves office with some semblance of a positive legacy now. Dunno why but the sheer idiocy of the tories on iran has shocked me
oh and his voice sounds amazing. was the one thing going in i was curious of as i think the latest record is vocally much weaker
also love too odds and ends from his 21st c solo output sounding like absolute classics now, ECTMH and strange overtones especially
David Byrne's show is very special. very fun that he took the format of the last tour and built on it so completely. Like musically and from an A/V perspective astonishing
first saw him in 2009, so basically half my lifetime ago. disturbed to remember i bought an XS t-shirt at that show
sat down for david byrne!
astonished to unform you that Wordsworth Classics have gone and hired a graphic designer. imagine the agonised conversations around the board table
watching a melvyn bragg show from 1992 about a horny banker
i am pro LRB. both good but the lrb I have no regrets or second thoughts about my sub. if choosing one or the other, lrb likely to actually lead you to books if youre in the uk. NY might make books sound interesting that arent out for an age
being a carless american is awesome. financial harm caused by rising oil prices won't directly effect me, and secondary effects aren't something we are trained to think about. when the time comes i'll just blame the rising prices i do experience on supernatural causes. maybe goblins
i think Harry's album is really good! which is funny as r/popheads have turned against him (and Ive not been keen on his prior albums)
when he eventually does lear i will walk down to london if i have to
im watching the rylance twelfth night with my dog
I still canβt believe Joani Reidβs husband is an alleged Chinese spy and an Alba plant snuck into the number one spot on the Labour Lothian list and Anas Sarwar tried and failed to coup Starmer. What a month for the Scottish Labour Party.
timon of athens is the great underrated Shakespeare - also think it is the one that will get reassessed this century, where nihilism is almost the defining political problem. and artistically, i think draws a direct line from greek tragedy to the theatre of the absurd.
for comedy - twelfth night is his best. Much Ado probably his easiest in a way - if you cast a good Benedict and Beatrice you basically cannot fuck it up
boring take but Hamlet is the all timer. I think Shakespeare has many great plays, but it is just in a category of its own. I think it is basically *the* work of fiction
Online nihilism doesn't quality as an ideology for the purposes of terror offences. This is starting to look like a fairly glaring gap in UK law.
i dont want to go viral. i like it when my posts get 0-3 likes
had a fantastic time on my bike earlier
omg there's a hidden track on the Help 2 compilation! not a new song but a nice surprise
telegraph heroically laying the groundwork for ed's reassessment as a national hero here
ahh the ft is the only space on the whole net where the quality of comments BTL could be mistaken for the top
whose column is this?
james ford did a great job with the war child comp because it all sounds quite cohesive and part of the same set (aside from Depeche Mode but that one is fun).
