"Soulful, joyful and brimming with confidence."

Some "danceable" songs incorporating elements of jazz and surf-rock. They liked AC DC a lot and think Valentine's Day has "potential".

Thank you The Other Side Reviews - I'll take this as 3-stars!

Arrived back in the UK and the first song in my ears was Get Back by The Beatles and then this one which seems appropriate

Listening to the Glyn Johns (Get Back)] mix and it's a very different album. Imho the released Spector version is better

"Sure," said the man.
"Help yourself to a drink too," said Elias.

There are a lot of people sleeping on the streets in Toronto.

Elias is a local hero.

The Mystic Muffin makes the world's best homemade apple cake. It's a cake baked with love 🥧 ❤️

While I was sat in the cafe drinking a coffee a guy came in off the street and asked for something to eat, clearly with no ability to pay. Elias the owner said
"Chicken sandwich, ok?"

"a meditation on kindness"

This AI Review of our new song 'Sweet Charity' draws on an excellent piece in Honk Magazine (and the song's title) but why don't you make your own mind up?

This is a wonderful episode of Great Lives: comefian Stewart Lee on the free jazz guitarist Derek Bailey.

You don't have to love free jazz to appreciate the intellectual sparring and creativity running through this conversation about a life.

Probably about half a million people beyond the pale out of an electorate of 20m+ - calmly engaging with and correcting misinformation and bigotry will keep them from swaying others

Guardian investigation into Facebook groups with 600k members in which the kind of extreme dehumanising language that socialises racist violence is rife. Facebook has become more permissive towards extreme content in the last year.

Far-right Facebook groups are engine of radicalisation in UK, data investigation suggests

Rioters were influenced by network that exposes hundreds of thousands of Britons to racist disinformation, Guardian research indicates

"What makes this terrific is how it balances intimacy and resonance. The Family Grave tell stories that follow you long after the final note fades, sounding timeless, like a song that might have been sung in pubs of Brighton decades ago" 😍 🎵 Lovely review from Honk 👇🏾 honkmagazine.com/the-family-g...

Yeah me too and I avoid it. But the signing-in with google thing, when available, seems to work smoothly.

The Family Grave @thefamilygrave.bsky.social · 13d

Another point... but this is being sold as a means to control illegal immigration (and it arguably is) but the Tories introduced digital checks for migrants to rent and work which may have led to racial discrimination and checks for all would be much better

Utter nonsense. What "government sources"? Some bloke down the pub I suppose 🤔

The Family Grave @thefamilygrave.bsky.social · 13d

Possibly. I think we should trust the government. This isn't Trump's America and UK public services are capable of great things, within a pretty sound legal framework by and large x
