This is The Slugs with 'Phone Voice' on #freshingredients. This is from their A Song For Every Feeling LP & it's just 2 min 15 seconds long (the song). Accordingly it is one of the longest on the LP. I can't wait to see this lot at @walesgoespop.bsky.social next Spring.
Yell if you're going too!

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

5:13am. Raging insomnia fuelled by fibromyalgia. Earlier, did last night's washing up then prepped/cooked a huge vegetarian aromatic chilli that'll serve as the base for lunch this week. Also sorted Newt's breakfast of roast chicken wings for a few hours time. Wish i had this energy during the day.

The New Pornographers - Electric Version (Us/Can/Eu 2023 Special Edition re-issue)
As a follow up to Mass Romantic this falls short but, as an LP on its own merits, it is still fantastic.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

Music recording people: I'm looking for a small 'project studio' in London or thereabouts to record vocals on in December (to some pre-recorded backing tracks on ProTools). Any recommendations/contacts?

Helpful hint : A quick way to see what your #VinylSanta recipient is into is searching under the Media tab on their profile.
If you don’t have any pics of what you like on your profile put some up. Links to external sites Insta/Discogs/FB are discouraged & have frustrated participants in the past.

My NHS employer has just confirmed redundancies are coming. For the second time in my 16 year NHS career tens of thousands of NHS staff, many with decades of experience will be thrown on the scrap heap. Many worked on the frontline (including me) in the pandemic. This is Streeting's reward for us.
