From the other place in the hopes of avoiding bots and the terminally hard of thinking. Fearing an echo chamber so might pick the odd polite fight. Like the quirks of a new site building and glitching. Like trying to edit this f'ing box

If you've known online me for any length of time you'll know what Del Amitri / Justin Currie means to me. Through the weirdness of the internet I was able to read and share my views on the Tremolo Diaries before release. Me! I work in community transport FFS. Thanks Pete

Having read 3/4 of The Tremolo Diaries I had the immeasurable pleasure of hearing Justin talk about them tonight. Still the warm, wry (actually outright funny) and self deprecating colossus he always has been. And it's a book like no other.

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need?
Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law?
This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

On Radio Dead Air each week I run the Invisibles: really good songs that don't get released as singles or videos, because promotional budgets are limited and labels don't like risks.
I do about four a week, and at the end of the year I pick the four that I liked the best.
So here we go.
