It depends on your thresholds. Most of the weird shit was sexual, which I don’t have a moral issue with other than I didn’t consent to be exposed to it.

Oh wow. I know we don’t know each other but I want to thank you, and other people, doing this job. It’s so important.

I worked two separate jobs doing film photo processing when I was a university student. The first was at a factory that handled a lot of police photography. I saw way more crime scene photos than I needed to.

The second time was in the photo development lab for a high street pharmacy chain. I swear, either people didn’t realise their photos were developed and handled by other people, or some of them really got off on us seeing their weird shit.

Outrage/protest isn’t really evident in pop music, but it’s still there in scenes like punk and hardcore. Off the top of my head, Body Farm are a great contemporary punk band that call out (neo)conservatism and fascism.

Edit: check out their track Revolution With Friends

Yes! Love JG Thirlwell’s work. Been listening to the Wiseblood album a lot recently.

I’ve never attempted to make bagels before but these make me want to try.

It’s all metric until the final part 😭

It’s still one of my favourite albums.

That looks amazing! He should be proud.

You know, I love those albums where they fucked around did things like hard-pan all the drums to the right channel. I’m here for the experimentation.

I’ve always thought “separate the art from the artist” should be a conversation, not a hard and fast rule. I’ve never heard White Freckles so I don’t really have an opinion on this. But if the track is meaningful and brings beauty to people’s lives, that’s valid despite the artist being a piece of shit.

There are some artists where I feel the artist’s behaviour does not outweigh the impact of their work on my life, for example Eric Clapton, but there are other artists where I feel their work stands up despite the artist’s actions (Prince, David Bowie).

You know it’s okay to dress brightly, flamboyantly, dazzlingly and even fabulously too, right?

🙏🏻

Yeah there’s an honesty in his voice that really resonates with me.

Anathema are one of my favourite ever bands. This entire album is immensely important to me.

I understand your point but let’s not ignore that fossil fuel corporations have made campaign donations and contributions to legislators for as long as those corporations existed. Whether or not legislators totally bought into the FUD (and I’m not sure all did, the same way not everyone in the wider public discourse bought into it) it was literally not in their interests to legislate against fossil fuel.

So, yes, we should hold them responsible.

Climate change has been in the public discourse since at least the 80’s, so legislators did know. It just hasn’t been in their interests to acknowledge it.
