Covidiots in music

idk about his mother's family but wouldn't be shocking- here's his dad. could these people be any more the enemy?

Sir Paul is the co-founder of hedge fund Marshall Wace and was a donor to the Vote Leave campaign.

also a major funder of upstart andrew neil helmed r/w media venture in the OP. fascinated by the depths of hatred i'm feeling rn

Winston by name, Winston by nature.

endorsing Ngo's book is very much in line with the rest of Winston Marshall's twitter too. it's 90% anti-china stuff and then the rest is pro-brexit, anti-woke, the left are the real extremists, endorsing kanye's weird christian turn, etc.

I hope he snaps his banjo string

Mark E Smith OTM

mark e smith was also a tory of course though

more like mitford & sons

there's a fair bit that crosses the line from just HK freedom stuff into advocating for the west taking a harder line against china & increasing tensions etc.

I didn't see anything objectionable in that part, Western governments have been utterly cowardly on HK & Xinjiang.

true but what would bravery look like

(Jordan) Peterson posted a photo of himself with Lovett and bandmates Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane at their studio. It took a couple of months for the music press to notice it, but when they did there was a small outcry – and an opportunity for wags on social media to lay into the band (“I assumed they were, ‘My dad was a vicar’ Tory, not ‘concerned about white birthrates’ Tory,” quipped one Twitter user). Lovett is unapologetic. “I looked forward to having a conversation with him, but only because I wanted to have a conversation with as many people as possible,” he says, although he can’t remember what they actually talked about.
..He describes Peterson as “an intellectualist more than anything: I don’t think he particularly likes how political it is”. Mumford smirks back: “I think he loves it.”

In response to "I don't know why he is so into this but it's really worrying to me that it's automatically counted as a strike against someone" I would ask you: what do you know about Andy Ngo, what do you know about what his book is actually about, and what do you know about what he has gotten up to for a number of years that has led up to this book? If you know plenty about Andy Ngo and are asking that question then there isn't much to say. In my opinion calling Andy Ngo "brave" and his book "important" AFTER having read it isn't really a casual statement. You believe some terrible shit if you take Andy seriously (he lies fucking ALL THE TIME) or, worse, think that he is making these points in good faith and also agree with them (which it is hard to suggest this asshole doesn't since he is literally endorsing the book).

CaAL was talking about the HK stuff, not the Ngo stuff. Ngo is fash, pure and simple.

“I assumed they were, ‘My dad was a vicar’ Tory, not ‘concerned about white birthrates’ Tory”

^^^ Yeah, this is about it. Obviously a foul and despicable band from the off, but I had no idea a) how fucking insanely posh they are, and b) how fucking insanely fash they are.

thanks emily, yeah the andy ngo stanning is inexcusable and I was clear that I wasn't talking about that

Oh sorry, that just got lost in the shuffle. Sorry I missed it and please ignore my comment.

It's strange, I remember a few years ago they released a single with Baaba Maal that I actually...well, it wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be, let's just say that. (I only heard it because it played constantly on the radio in the small geographic region where i was living).

Wouldn’t the prominent use of a banjo drive their new alt-right fans insane?

Perhaps, yet Trump fans love "YMCA," there is no logic in this world

The drummer from the Happy Mondays?

in the Gary Whelan tweet Brown is replying to he shockingly trashes The Mondays rep "NONE OF THE happy Mondays lived or grew up on council estate"

Ian B might want to do some deeper research into how Jah feels about rich white men from England

7th March 2020 continues to not have been in August 2020 ftr

also I'm not sure anyone was really looking to the drummer from the Happy Mondays for coherent advice on anything

Rock n Roll was created to avenge the Jazz Musicians technique...i good thing for basic musicians like myself. BUT the grand irony is that those old jazz musicians were far more Rcok n Roll than the rockers..far far more..

Evan Parker goes in deeper in a new interview:

Already boasting full cred as crazy old jazz geezer, is Evan Parker now trying too hard?@Jazzwise pic.twitter.com/ILyHUZimZ4

Man, that's just sad.

Genuinely wondering if this is related to early onset dementia or something.

oof

Genuinely wondering if this is related to early onset dementia or something.

The most successful covidiot 'documentary' in France peddles exactly this bunk, so it's more common than you'd think, alas.

I've told the story on here before about a friend of a friend of mine who believes this exact thing, that it's all about de-population.

In fact, even the Daily Star is writing about it.

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/mysterious-monument-calls-billions-die-21872605

It's all just a Thanos meme.

Now I'm picturing Evan Parker eagerly awaiting the Star plopping onto his doormat of a morning.

If the vaccine is "a piece of software", that means that we are... pieces of hardware!1!

I wonder what Evan would think of the new conspiracy theory I've come up with that circular breathing can lead to permanent brian damage.

RIP brian

Brian "Damage" Parker

Hmm… I think it's missing a shadowy cabal or two. Perhaps some triple parentheses as well?

i wonder what all these suckers will say once they realize you can stream spotify directly through your vaccine microchip

any musician who is speaking out against the COVID vaccine or calling COVID a hoax should only be allowed to record David Hasslehoff covers going forward

ngl, I'd love to hear Evan Parker cover 'Hooked on a Feeling'.

I googled

"evan parker" "david hasselhoff"

and the first result I got was 'Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.' Too bad they're not actually in the same pic.

Brian Damage. There must have been a punk musician called that somewhere some time.

t it's all about de-population.

it hasn't been very efficient, has it? while the death toll has been truly awful, it is only 0.003% (approx) of the global population.
