Hard News: Paths and ways, in reply to Rosemary McDonald,
Definitely. Seems like there have been a couple of instances on this one with cyclists travelling too fast past walkers as well but it's the absolute minority being used as an excuse for outright banning. Sharing is indeed caring.

Meanwhile Nelson, which is frankly a cyclists Mecca, isn't quite getting it right...

This discussion of sound goodness probably needs a revisit to Mr Scruff's masterclass on setting up your club night. Beautiful stuff front to back.

Speaker: Talking past each other:…, in reply to Danielle,
Danielle, in reply to Bart Janssen, about an hour ago
I'm not entirely sure why anyone thinks I am advocating "doing nothing". I'm advocating "not doing this as it is currently proposed". I'm also advocating for less emotive doomsaying and more sensible, encouraging, logical things that might actually work.
How very dare you! :-)

Great stuff on the Brooklyn digs. I remember P-Money tweeting some great finds when he was working over there a few years. It's on my bucket list!
Also, Laura Lee is a boss.

Nelson has a second records sale to go with tunes and a pint of your fine craft ale at Rhythm & Brown on New Street from 4.00pm.

Niceness. My man DJ Wrongtom has a "..meets the Ragga Twins" album coming out later this year. Expecting nothing less than wall to wall bangers.

Remember when some genius decided to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Woodstock by staging a commercial festival on an ex-airforce base with Insane Clown Posse, Korn & Limp Biskit headlining? Carnage ensued with vandalism, sexual violence and a riot to finish the whole wretched event off.
Laneway is the opposite of that but maybe it has something to do with the commercialisation and scale of these events? You see crass behaviour at large sporting events as well, maybe people feel like they can lose themselves and get away with behaviour they wouldn't in a small group or at smaller events. I really don't know.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Danielle,
My husband and I are fucking sad as shit. I realised this morning this has catapulted right to the top of my personal Musician Death Sadness Rankings. I'm not sure how to create a proper post about this quite yet.
I hear ya. The deaths of Bowie, Lemmy and John Bradbury (The Specials) all in the space of 2 weeks are like disparate elements of my youth breaking off and disappearing. Feels too soon for this.

Hard News: Bowie, in reply to Russell Brown,
Some excellent music nerdy for you Pete: how Bowie fathered the Sleng Teng rhythm and the Sex Pistols' 'God Save the Queen'.
Love it! I've always just presumed it was based on Eddie Cochrane but you can certainly hear it in "Hang onto yourself", possibly with Bowie inspired by EC of course.
