We need to study this pipeline where the most despised and laughable personalities in the UK can leg it to the USA and pretend to be a hot new commodity from across the channel with a voice that demands to be heard, because clearly America didn't figure it out after James Corden and Piers Morgan.

For me, music died with MF DOOM. Just like the entirety of england did with the Queen. All that's left is the deathrows of a heart pumping blood out of muscle memory after the brain was removed. Last gig i went to see was wrest, a throwback, to the good ole mid 2010's when shoegaze was the hot indie topic.

Pablo Bluth posted:Dua Lipa was in Barbie. How is that not worldwide cultural relevance? Probably because she's an even worse actor than Beyonce. She has what, a line and a half in Barbie and it looks like they just used the best one out of 50 takes. See also using her all over the trailers/ads for Argylle, which she's in for less than a minute. I don't particularly care for her music but she should stay in that lane.

Tesseraction posted:That's a tough one, since I agree with the right to religious freedom, but I don't think you should be allowed to... hang on As I understand it, a big part of the school's case was that some of the kids were using the whole thing as an excuse to bully others: quote:Jason Coppel KC, representing the school trust, told the court on Wednesday the prayer issue had triggered “an unprecedented outbreak of poor behaviour among pupils” at the school... Relocate these circumstances to any boring state comprehensive you'd care to name, and it suddenly seems a lot more reasonable.

The law in question: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-cracks-down-on-deepfakes-creation https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68823042 Good law, probably going to be badly implemented and filibustered by that backbench sex pervert again, and more than likely Rishi trying to take credit for a law the civil service / CJS have worked hard to try and get through.

Trin Tragula posted:As I understand it, a big part of the school's case was that some of the kids were using the whole thing as an excuse to bully others: Well then all the more reason to be glad they put a stop to it. For what it's worth, it being Birbalsingh's child torture playground didn't factor in to whether I agreed with the ban. The conflict is between my strictly secular view of schooling versus the right to free practise of religion. But I suppose I forgot that you don't strictly have to keep the prayer schedule if circumstances prevent you doing it at the specific intended time.

Any other Merritt heads in here? Would absolutely have loved to see that one. Caught The Magnetic Fields last november when they were in Helsinki (first time in the country) and it was more of a hit parade but such a lovely evening nonetheless. As to music, there’s just so much interesting one around nowadays that I’m mostly looking for decent human curation of it all. Used to listen to this weekly Independent Music Podcast, by two lads from South London, which was absolutely great, but they stopped at the end of the year. Backlog is definitely worth checking out, found some good stuff through there: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aUs2wPS2gwIGaHtIaFqc8?si=aEA0ysXAR3ea6o7loL4fgA

If you use Bluesky, there's a couple of different feeds you can subscribe to which automatically scrape for any posts with a bandcamp link in them - just search for 'bandcamp' in the Discover New Feeds box. You generally need to mute a couple of radio station bots that link to everything they play othewise it gets a bit much, but once you've done that it's a nice way of just being able to occasionally dip into what people you don't know are posting about and seeing if any of it is interesting.

Handed my notice in first thing this morning via email and still not had any acknowledgement of it back. I only work on the main site on Fridays so don't really fancy driving over there in person to tell them I'm quitting as per my email. What do? I would've expected something back off the boss.

Will your email system give you a 'delivery receipt' or similar so you can prove when you gave it? (I'm assuming this is the issue?) Or... that tech of long ago times - a fax? (You may have a fax app of some sort on your computer if your work place - probably HR - possibly has such a thing.) https://uk.pcmag.com/old-fax-services/77296/how-to-send-and-receive-a-fax-online

Pablo Bluth posted:The real enigma to me is Taylor Swift. She's the largest star on the planet but I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you which song was here. I could point out a Dua Lipa or Billie Eilish song, but somehow Swift has literally completely bypassed me. I know what she looks like, and the basic details of her dispute over her masters, but aurally zilch. No idea what her music sounds like, no idea what she sounds like when she talks. E: Amsterdam not See How They Run, thanks Failed Imagineer (thaineer) I know a lot of people rag on her because no good billionaires, private jet etc but her music is pretty good for how popular it is. A little overproduced maybe, but I was surprised how good it is compared to most of the dreck that sells as much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1kbLwvqugk Anti-hero was one I heard loving everywhere long before I knew it was her, mostly because of the "It's me, I'm the problem" bit.

Local shows are fun in their own right even if the music ends up being not your cup of tea and if they're really naff you can always have a laugh. That said, my mate has never forgiven Simon Neil for spitting all over him during Biffy's set supporting King Adora in front of about 15 people at The Mission in Dundee.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Swift also dipped into movie stuff with See How They Run, which was kind of funny because she shows up seeming like she's going to be a huge part of the story, and then almost immediately dies. I laughed hard at this bit. But it was in the movie Amsterdam, not See How They Run - both kind of twee period romps so understandable confusion. TS is pretty good - I'd say she's got at least a dozen certifiable bangers, but watching the entire Eras concert was a slog, she uses a lot of the same vocal patterns over and over and over. Her song with Justin Vernon is great.

Same as Pablo, I don't think I have heard Swift or Ed Sheeran sing one of their songs. Sure must have done when in a shop, or passing car, or such.
