What this doesn’t note is that there’s approximately two hours between #2 and #3.

Troubleis , the UK is a massive sponge that spends 75% of the year soaking up all the rain, which it then gives back to us whenever the sun comes out.

Fair play, this is top quality confidently incorrect material.

Yeah man, that shit can be hard and time consuming.

I used to do a podcast. Each episode was around 12 minutes. I’d spend a good eight hours a week on those 12 minutes, around my actual job, and would get about ten people listening. And you know that within half an hour of hearing it, they’ve forgotten it and moved on to the next thing in their queue. It’s hard to maintain enthusiasm for that.

You, The Master Driver, are amply equipped to decide what the true speed limit should be.

The beauty of this comment is that it could be in support of either position.

Do you win or lose if you get to eat the biscuit, or is it just a matter of perspective?

I’m all-in on natural scrolling, and have been since day one. It scrolls the same way as swiping on your phone.

Its the first thing I change when I set up any Linux distro.

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<app name> is seared in my brain at this point.

2020, successfully using my basic iPad to broadcast my radio show, with an iPad mini as a MIDI controller. It was a blast knowing that I was able to get to that iPad to do something Apple never had in mind for it.

But after a year of that I started to get pissed off with having to jump through hoops to do shit that a regular computer could just do. And it was all downhill from there for me.

No no no, it’s pronounced “PNG”

So far as I’m aware, their label hasn’t dropped them. Their agents have, but fuck agents. Someone with some stones will snap 'em up in a heartbeat.

Start with their second album, We Live Here. It’s got some incredible, visceral punk on it. The Price of Life, and Humble As the Sun are top notch, but a touch more polished.

Thing is, afaik, the BBC has nothing to do with booking the artists. They just broadcast the sets and hold them on the iPlayer for a month after. Kneecap (and Bob Vylan) were booked by the Glastonbury organisers.

Someone uploaded it to WeTransfer if you’ve not found it elsewhere yet.

It’s a great set. Big Bob spitting facts from top to bottom.

Why should I change my name when he’s the one who sucks?

You mean Big Bob, of course.

Depending on what you’re doing, mind, the ends can justify the means. My radio show is two hours on air each week. But to get to those two hours…

Log all the suggestions from listeners: 1 hour Download the songs: 1 hour Decide which songs to play: 2 hours Programme the running order: 1/2 hour Writing posts and general admin: 1/2 hour Editing the recorded show: 1/4 hour (if I haven’t fucked anything up) Uploading to Mixcloud (inc. tagging, etc): 1/4 hour

So that’s 5 1/2 hours without once hitting play in Mixxx.

And that doesn’t include the hour my wife puts in to making each week’s running order into a playlist on Apple and Spotify, and the artwork she makes for each episode.

I love doing my show, but yeah, a hell of a lot of work goes into those two hours.

This reminds me of a government scheme some ten years ago or so. Workfair it was called, or something.

In short, someone claiming job seekers allowance would be required to work something like 10 hours a week for a company such as Tesco, or Poundland in order to be eligible for their welfare payments. On the face of it, fair enough. The person gets some work experience and the possibility of being hired.

Except all it really did was provide free labour to companies whose profits were in the billions. And that labour was paid by the tax payer.

And no one in the government at the time either saw how bad that might look, or more likely, cared.

I still think about that.

God bless Lolo for massively distorting my teenage expectations of what boobs look like.
