  1. Oh look, we have a new Queen of Canada: https://www.vice.com/en/article/3abb5w/qanons-queen-of-canada-alleges-rcmp-visited-her-after-shoot-to-kill-order (Sensationalist headline alert - the "shoot to kill" order came from the "Q"ueen, not the cops).
  2. Alvin Lucier passed today. What a tremendous composer. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/arts/music/alvin-lucier-dead.html
  3. Much like some boast about no Facebook, I’m proud to say that I’ve never had a Spotify account. With all this weapons investing, I’m even prouder. 2:30 is generous.
  4. I had no idea The Orb had put out two albums this year, "the Heavens" is probably some of their best work in ages. Probably all Falconer, but this is really ace:
  5. God yes. When I first heard Vrioon all those years ago it was a transformative moment I think. Still gets played often.
  6. The testing seems to be moot at this point, the effectiveness doesn't seem to be in doubt. Distribution will be the developed countries first, just like the vaccines. I agree it won't be the end of the pandemic. In fact, while this is a good tool when used responsibly in conjunction with a vaccination program, I'm afraid this will be another excuse for anti-vaxxers to not take the vaccine. At this point, I think we should strap them down Clockwork Orange style and force feed the little babies.
  7. https://www.newyorker.com/science/medical-dispatch/how-will-the-covid-pills-change-the-pandemic In case it's paywalled for some.
  8. Any of the other good bits of doing LSD come along with that? ?
  9. That interpretation of the weapons charge is a fucking travesty. The whole Wisconsin legislation on minors in possession is fucking awful.
  10. Fuck, I really want to buy this boxset, but of course it's sold out.
  11. That bit about the tax situation in Washington State seemed weird, so I went and looked - Washington State doesn't have an income tax (neither corporate nor individual)! That's messed up. Corporate income tax and corporate tax evasion should be the number one priorities for any government in terms of revenue generation.
  12. ‘It’s A Free Country’: Man Threatens TSA Agent’s Life, Throws Checkpoint Stanchion, Strips Naked & Masturbates, Charges State
  13. So many great memories. The one artist I wish had continued out of there was cell. Incredible music, really pushed all the boundaries and buttons.
  14. It was started by Andy, he had a strong collar with the violinist whose name I forget. One of the best EPs ever. Beautifully emotive electronic music.
  15. Love Andy’s work. His efforts in getting TEFOSAV running were immense, and it was a project that was a springboard for quite a few artists. will add this to the wish list (could grow that thing exponentially if not careful). Cheers for the heads up.
  16. Love it. But so short! Could listen to Oval Noise for days.
  17. Some banging fucking techno. It's Balkan Vinyl, what else do I need to say (limited to 303 copies).
  18. Onclements and the outtakes are incredible. So different from what you hear now from Aleksi. I especially recommend "Cow is a mammal" from the Onclements Outtakes.
  19. The problem with that (and it's not just limited to Vancouver, all my peeps in Sydney checking in?) is that many of those apartments/condos were bought with capital that had been smuggled out of the country against the capital flight restrictions imposed by the Chinese authorities, or they were bought as part of money laundering schemes. Either way, they're having a hard time to get that money back into China. What I don't understand is how China didn't learn from the 2008 crisis, where US banks and hedge funds screwed the pooch by betting on wildly over-leveraged assets. How people look at that and don't say, "you know, maybe we shouldn't allow companies to be so wildly in debt they could affect the international economy" is a real fucking trip. That's some pure unregulated capitalism going on right there.
