I'm seeing very little news about the Israel land grab of parts of Syria and Lebanon and extensive bombing of Damascus and other cities in the region. "Bombing Chemical Weapon stores"[1]. Under cover of the reporting on the fall of Assad. Is there some kind of blanket restriction on MSM coverage of Israel actions in the region?

[1] Remember chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? And then the "chlorine tanks" in Douma, Syria?

5 years away from the clubs. Dropped back into an early evening set in NT's Loft. Sadly it's not as good as it looks. I was half expecting some kind of Ronnie Scots, jazz club, tables. They have got a good solution to the roof top smoking terrace with a retractable roof but not on a stormy night. Like Night Tales, the sound system is a bit harsh. Not enough sub-bass weight, too much aggressive high bass & mids

£7.50 for a Neck Oil stubby? Inflation is taking it's toll.

Content warning:Meta Don

Mastodon is not good at long form blogs even in 500 char chunks. It gets worse when it's auto-crossposted to Bluski and further sub-divided into smaller chunks.

So what's the best place to post long form text and then promote it on the socials?

The only question is timescale. Whether it's our children or our great, great grand-children who have to cope with hitting the wall.

Enjoy it while you can.

After extensive mathematical modeling, scientist declares “Earth is F**ked”

2012 seems to have been a good year for wordage

Is the Earth Fxxkered?
Please go back and re-read "The Limits To Growth" along with the 20 and 30 year updates. Here's the TL;DR. version. Yes, this cycle of the Anthropocene is fucked. If the resource constraints don't get you, the pollution constraints will.

There's some precedent here because in the early 2000s we listened to a lot of music that we called "Cocktails at Sunset"; things like Cinematic Orchestra or Kruder and Dorfmeister. So here's my take on a subset of 2012 bass driven musics. It wasn't deliberate as I was doing it but it's turned into a bit of a tale about Saturday night, Sunday morning.

A look back at 2012

An alternate set of Bass Music genres

I got the music collecting bug really bad this year. Going back through 2012 trying to make sense of it all and work out what was good. Part of the problem is that Electronic Dance Music genres don't make a lot of sense to me. Especially this year when there's so much cross pollination between the scenes. So I started working on a new set of genre buckets based on how the music made me feel or the circumstances I might listen to it.
