“It is difficult to see how Britain would be in the position it is in now – weakened politically and economically … –if a truly independent and accountable press had provided the necessary checks on power all healthy democracies need.” bylinetimes.com/2023/06/06/p…
i don’t want my kids inheriting a world run by flag waving facebook tin pot dictators, utterly bereft of moral authority,
while they watch 200 mile winds pick up and blow their lives away like the Wizard of Oz, having internalized this force fed sense of powerlessness. just sayin
bring down this UK government, they do not speak for us, right the fuck now .. they have no authority, no mandate, no clue, cats in a bag tearing themselves to pieces while the country suffers in extreme distress. enough of this shit. shame on them. #GeneralElection2022
I am so sad to hear MF Doom’s passing. He was a massive inspiration to so many of us, changed things.. for me the way he put words was often shocking in it’s genius, using stream of consciousness in a way i’d never heard before ... 🙏 music.apple.com/gb/album/gaz…

So very sad to hear that Scott Walker has passed away, he was a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how i could use my voice and words. Met him once at Meltdown, such a kind gentle outsider. He will be very missed.
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Scott Walker. Scott was 76 years old and is survived by his daughter, Lee, his granddaughter, Emmi-Lee, and his partner Beverly: 4ad.com/news/959
Turning The King of Limbs into a live performance and filming it was a strange and wild thing, we were not sure if it would work. Thanks to everyone’s dedication and commitment it ended up being, for me, one of my favourite musical experiences.
Suspiria, from director Luca Guadagnino. Starring Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Lutz Ebersdorf, Jessica Harper and Chloë Grace Moretz. In theaters November 2.
i woke up in a city
the soldiers had come home
the ego it had ended
his loud mouth was gone
the witches all were singing
and the water turned grey
and the mirrors and the phones
caught flame, caught flame
saying we won’t make this mistake again .....
Hi @realDonaldTrump. Just so you know, you’re wildly unpopular here in Britain. SAD! People REALLY don’t like you (though they love @BarackObama). Hope you like seeing your FAILING approval numbers projected onto the Tower of London. #TrumpUKvisit
Two years of digging through multitrack tapes and computers, notebooks, sketches and paintings, two years of very long intermittent zoom calls, of maybe nots and tech challenges and last minute panic .. thanks to everyone involved! waaaaaaaaaa
Here is my re-imagined remix version of Creep for 2021, 30 years later.
Done for my friend Jun Takahashi, and for a world that is seemingly turning upside down.

In the autumn in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Japan I will be alone on stage trying a new kind of solo show thing playing versions of songs from my recent and not so recent past.
...then the idiot was alone
was alone
and the water it forgave us
and the fascists felt ashamed
at their dancing puppet king
saying we won’t make this mistake again..
the lines are drawn for daily battles
the trumpets sound for daily troubles
lock your dreams away and wake it up
enough about your broken heart
we’re on parade for daily battles
the other side it has no face
a pointless cause we can’t remember
enough about your broken heart
holed up and re watching Adam Curtis’s “Century of the Self” ..i hope that when we finally come out of this we never forget again how connected we all are.
