Fancy Art for Fancy Lads feat. Josie Long
Added 2020-07-24 00:11:50 +0000 UTCSorry for the delayed release on this. During the recording we were convinced that we'd lost the entire Josie segment, so we recorded a second half that's almost the same length. As such, this is a long one, but I think you'll enjoy. It involves the elitism of the art world, Josie Long's commentary on the way in which the entire world is gatekept by the rich, and the second segment features a guy calling his billionaire friend for advice about the state of the world. The advice, as you might expect, is normal as hell.

Nineteen Eighty-Four but regime collapse is triggered by a failure to keep up with Sidekick payments.

2024-10-29 11:48:20 +0000 UTCWhen I think of the amount of times that classic music venues like the Fleece in Bristol have been threatened repeatedly by property developers over the last 10 years, meanwhile Royal Albert Hall gets funding no problem. They won't lift a finger to preserve a more common culture in touch with the people, but somehow they will when it means groan worthy Operas & the bloody Proms can continue. It infuriates me as a lover & creator of music. One of my faces places, The Exhange in Bristol (I think, I've not been back since Corona broke out) is bloody closed, meanwhile The Bristol Hippodrome is fine (as far as I know). There are music venues out there that are just as worth keeping if not more than the toff magnets of historical theatres & classic opera houses. We should be able to list a classic music venue as culturally significant, just like grade listed buildings, so they can be preserved & not be able to be knocked down on a whim. The Cavern Club, Koko, Tramshed, and The Thekla are as important to us as any West End theatre, and should be preserved as such. We need to bulletproof music venues from property developers.

RISK, the game about world domination based on pure chance. Not the intellectual duel of Chess, not the sneaky cheaty bluffing of Poker, not even the slightly skill-based pretend-workout of Golf, no. RISK where the dice decide if you control the world. Says much about his view of the situation, I think. And in fact I fear he wasn't even talking about the game, but this was really a winky way of saying he accidentally owns 1/5th of the economy now.
