PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

baggymp play mr blobby (song) if you're reading this

"UK MUSIC CHIEF WARNS OF THE DANGERS OF NO-DEAL BREXIT ON MUSIC INDUSTRY"

^^
b.b..but I want to see the drummer from Foals begging on the streets!

His n Hers is a good choice, actually boasting about listening to Turin Brakes otoh...

The singer from Foals and son of Greek immigrants was making some pretty Brexity noises before the referendum - and citing immigration policy as the reason at that.

aye I remember that popping up on a previous thread, total bunch of arseholes.

can't believe any indie pop star has conservative opinions

yeah let's just keep this about the music and not about the Koch brothers funded pondlife that associate with [redacted ILX indie darlings].

or about when [redacted ILM indie darlings] approvingly retweet J Peterson tweets!

not sure that keeping it about the music is very helpful to [redacted ILM indie darlings] tbh

lool!

Who, Mumford and Sons?

they rhyme with Lameo-bab

i meant most of them tbh

tbf i don't hate Blaireo-raab's music, only the Spiked affiliation

it is the pathetic "keep it about the music" responses in their thread that are comic. Everyone else can get me-tooed or get pelters for being melts/crypto fash wankers - but not these lads!

I'm not a fan of their music tbh, but I listen to lots of right-wing sex-offenders and allsorts of bad ppl and don't get butthurt when ppl talk about what appalling humans they are.

I still have no idea who you're talking about tbh.

Ah, thanks. I had no idea. I strongly dislike their music fwiw, way too twee for my ears.

i just discovered* a south african metalband called BOARGAZM so i feel i am way ahead of everyone, they play in pig masks

*in the columbus sense of discovered = just now came across something many many ppl already knew about

"It was a frost-coated day in a late Autumn when my room mate at university inserted the Boagazm classic "The Baconing" into the music system and changed my life"

I believe it.

Pram is another ILM favourite with an even more blatant Spiked connection.

The Baconing... what a classic title

Dogwhistle for The Gammoning iirc.

is there something in that cult 60's movies/library music/space age exotica aesthetic that is also nostalgic for some whiter than white Britain? In this case most definitely!

Isn’t Michael Dugher head of the UK music thing?

Kerry McCarthy as Joy Div stan = fine by me.

In other media shite, McD has done the ES Magazine Londoner’s Diary this week and says the best meal he’s ever eaten is Rochelle Canteen at the ICA. Worth it for his ambition to have BJ picking up litter on community service until the end of days as payback for the Garden Bridge.

Lol gyac u r obsessed with baggymp last.fm. love John Martyn so this makes me feel ill (but solid air is maybe my third favourite)

I hadn’t looked at it in a while and tbf it’s weird af

No it has some pretty straightforward songs on it too, 'one world' is much weirder

I mean in the context of folk rock I guess it's weird but that's a very conservative genre

oh no, never mind Pram, is that the same Tom Fenn as in T3l3:Funk3n who had an album on Domino and did a sublime Avrocar remix?

I suspect it is and that makes me v sad, damn this civil war :(

I saw him do a great live set once and he was v nice and enthusiastic at the merch stand, unlike Pram who were v standoffish, or maybe just shy and having a bad night - rude of me to make assumptions as I am socially anxious and possibly the most socially inept person ever to have lived, but still

Who is @rcuckston though? More BXP nominative determinism LOL.

she's the singer from Pram.

Ah, can visualise her now. Bet the Too Pure folk are doing little mouth coma at the thought of this.

While we’re here UGH THAT PRICK MARTIN DAUBENEY.

just scrolled down the Birmingham Salon "discussions/meetings" that Mrs Cuckston chairs.. jesus fucking wept.. it's got the lot for xenophobic anti-NHS terfs!

re Pram being standoffish, as someone who used to share dressing rooms with them they were probably v v stoned. depressed how R turned out tho :(

ha, fair enough

now I'm curious about yr own band/work/etc - but I understand you may not want to tell us disdainful doxxing hordes...

(oh no, T:F's twitter contains climate change denial stuff too. never look up people you thought were vaguely cool and underrated 18 years ago)

Oh no I'm nobody, just was around the scene at the time
Reading up on the Spiked people and trying to make sense of their stances, are they accelerationists or just incoherent? Idgi

attention seeking right wing bigotry disguised as libertarianism is their usual mo.

they like to show their sponsors that they are good vfm and the bbc love them.

Claire Fox, Brendan O'Neill... if only more people vigorously scrutinised ideas like these great lads do!

They seem particularly delighted by Ella Whelan at the BBC.

Distill everything bad about the SWP and mix it with 'rivers of blood' types.

As far as I can tell, the Spiked/Quilette brand is about loudly proclaiming yrself left-wing while attacking every socially left-wing cause and just never commenting on anything relating to economics so people don't call yr bluff.

has corbyn ever expressed support (or "adulation", as I've just seen claimed) for assad, putin or xi?

My favourite spiked appearances are when some second generation cunt like big head Brendan or Ella Whelab gets put on by someone more representative.

Also, this is extremely good
