forkboy84 posted:Waiting for a bus that turned up 30 minutes late today I was listening to Panopticon's Kentucky album. It's a black metal album about Eastern Kentucky where Austin Lunn grew up. Anyway, he throws in 2 really great bluegrass union numbers, Come All Ye Coal Miners and Which Side Are You On? And they sandwich his own composition about the coal mining industry, Black Soot and Red Blood, which is very much black metal. It works extremely well. Just giving that a listen - thanks for the intro! As any fule kno, I am a bit of a black / death metal fan but I also like stuff like Dropkick Murphys and Ghoultown and some other similar whose names escape me right now.

I used to do that with orange Club biscuits too but the chocolate coating is too thin these days to get a good nibble. Grave of the Fireflies biscuit merch

It’s in the FT’s casual blog, Alphaville: they comment on the markets usually and are allowed to write a lot less formally than the rest of the paper. It’s actually quite funny, and I think they get some sort of understatement prize for “Right wing views are hugely underrepresented in the UK’s media, apparently” (in response to Truss whingeing that everyone wanted tax rises).

No it wasn't them. Frantically going through my youtube history & likes to see if I can find them. Yelawolf is one. Must make a new playlist to add things to! Ed: Just found I already had a playlist but it's so far down my list of playlists I'd forgotten about it  Rumjacks Gangstagrass (Sorry I'm listening to the playlist - shall stop now!)

I need to put new music on my phone, I don't even have the best Godspeed You! Black Emperor album on there. And I need to put Your Queen Is a Reptile by Sons of Kemet back on because it's the coolest jazz record I've heard since I dunno, Mahavishnu Orchestra?

forkboy84 posted:You don't remember the time we all lauded the Sugababes? You gotta help me here: on the Panopticon "Black soot & red blood" track - it sounds SO much like something else I can't put a name to (age-related defects)! Maybe you know? (The vocals, the general melody underlying it) Ed related to my earlier post: how could I have forgotten Leadbelly! 1940ish. He did for example Gallows Pole - one of the old songs Led Zeppelin arguably 'ripped off' or 'adapted' depending on your point of view. (But Leadbelly also adapted it from an old folk song).

Yeah, horrible. I would count The Saga Begins as the only worthwhile filk, myself, and that's pushing it, in both directions. Otherwise it's an artform that is shot through with its own lameness like a little stick of Blackpool rock. But it's harmless enough, just bring earplugs. Keeps them occupied.

GhostofJohnMuir posted:when folks mention liz was blaming the leftwing economic establishment for the implosion of her economic policy, i didn't realize she specifically called out the imf. absolutely delusional, and entertaining enough that i hope she gets another bite at the apple Mixed in somewhere in the mess of what she's saying is a grain of truth: there -is- a tension within the conservative circles between the grifters who want to keep siphoning off the remains of the cream on the UK economy into their offshore accounts, and the disaster capitalist vultures who want to burn everything down so they can set themselves up as God-Emperor in the Mad Max libertopia that would follow. But earnest use of the phrase "left wing economic establishment" is the sign of someone who was dropped on their head too often as a child, not someone who would be a credible leader of any functional nation-state.

Hope you are ready to be pounded by the digital £ https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1622725533241864192?s=20 Pretty sure we can do that with actual money already  quote:Assuming the go-ahead is given, the earliest date cash could be held in digital wallets offered to consumers by the private sector through smartphones or smartcards would be the end of the 2020s, the Bank and the Treasury say.

It could be, but I don't think anyone cares about Wangs Over Scotland enough to do that. More likely they forgot what way is up in actual Scotland, being more used to Dorset.
