I stopped paying attention to OPN for a bit there, dunno why, life gets busy, but had a listen to the new one on a walk this morning. Sounds fantastic, 'bit of a grower' like. Full length visualiser - I guess that's on brand

Honestly, you might have bet against these two boys ever seeing sixty. Both still making good records now and then.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Aside from the fact this sort of nonsense is just plain wrong (and there are examples to prove it) The awareness of these things that some people apparently find so agitating is evidence that we (humanity, society) HAVE MADE ADVANCES - in knowledge, in understanding, in science.
Try and keep up.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Music is basically a detective novel where the musicians are the suspects/criminals, the listener is the detective and of course the music is the crime. The listener tries to determine what happened and what was the motivation, while the musicians try to obscure this, so they can get away with it.

Damn. I loved The White Stripes. I haven't listened to their records in far too long.
I think the Hall of fame is a crock but this is very sweet. Just perfect.

Tryna find words for Mike Bourne's enigmatic parrot electro.

Friend of mine thought Hayden Pedigo was the company that makes them weird Halloween candies out of corn syrup and horse glue.
