Searching for bleach attacker Ezedi in the Thames they've turned up two bodies.

Neither are him.

Bobby Cole - 'A Perfect Day'

Music journos are generally lowlife, @mjmooney   I've had no truck with their opinions since spending time in their company.

Our Baroque and Early music guy used to read the mags and tut, though the one he least scathing of was International Record Review.

Sadly I see that's a goner now.

You can listen to so much on the web, why bother with the self important dicks?

You use Presto? https://www.prestomusic.com/classical 

Line up the different recordings of a piece and check out the samples. Many of the titles that are out of print are there as downloads. Then pick them up on Discogs and Ebay if you want CD?

That way you get a record collection you like.

Jordi Savall & Le Concert Des Nations - 'Les Six Concerts Brandebourgeois' (Brandenburg Concertos)

Cerrone - 'Supernature'

Damo Suzuki, lead singer of German band Can, 74.

Discogs seems to have stopped selling bootlegs. 

That's the impression they want to give to the record labels.

To date when Discogs seem to be making progress, holes appear elsewhere.

Vangelis - 'China'

Add N To (X) - 'Revenge Of The Black Regent'

Various Artists - 'Popshopping 2'

Contrasting events.

Buildings in general don't do well with pollution. In a time with less particulate matter in the atmosphere, and drones to scrub them up, the surviving Brutalist structures would be better appreciated, I think?

Understand this.

The country's coffers have been ransacked and pocketed by the corrupt Tory filth and their chums.

Yet Starmer can expect to be held to account by the media in a way that the Brexit PM wasn't. Starmer has to reel in the pledges before the election, or risks being shredded after.

Because everything is more expensive, that's borrowing as well. That's against a backdrop of not being very competitive in our local European market, we're burdened with extra Brexit tariffs and paperwork. Plus the Chinese have been playing the long game, securing raw materials and supply routes. They're impaling us on capitalism, our industries just aren't going to be viable. That makes us more reliant on other countries, making us vulnerable, and allowing us to be gouged more than we're getting gouged now by the fossil fuel gang.

Unless we take back control from the markets, the kids are f***ed, the grandkids are really f***ed. That's not even factoring in AI, climate chaos or major wars.

Some of us have been on VT 20 years, gone quick ain't it? In 30 years, unless something much more drastic than Corbyn happens? It gets really quite ugly for the majority in the UK.

I'm quite lucky, and won't be voting Labour because Rosena Allin-Khan is popular here. Many of you lot are going to have to bite the bullet and vote red, and just hope that Starmer and his successors change the course we're on?

Invite sent.

The scum and the dumb let them in.
