I made a shoegaze starter pack. I think the images on the front are generated by number of followers... This is a very imperfect list, I'll probably forget to update it, if you don't want to be on it let me know! go.bsky.app/MAoEsCe

Next gig is this sneaky London showcase. Details in the link, great sounds from both bands. You never know who's going to turn up to a showcase, a few years ago I turned around at a gig and Christian Slowdive was trying to take a photo of the band around my hair. 🤭 www.gigantic.com/scoreboard-n...

Wow what a list, globetrotting! Holiday with music is always nice!

Having said that, Indivisible published this today. I think this is important to keep in mind, that propaganda wants you to think things are hopeless, and you are losing. This is to prevent you from struggling.

I think this is complex. There was another poll I didn't publish: a majority of the population feel immigration is the biggest issue facing the UK, rather than income or life chances. That is driven by propaganda. Labour can never win against the red tops. Psychological warfare is through the roof.

Anyone who cares about democracy should be concerned with these numbers. Authoritarian regimes make it very difficult to promote music. Tariffs, inflation and dissolution of the legal system make those cozy evenings with your LP collection harder to justify when your neighbours are being arrested.
