I guess I'll see ya in Hell, Charlie

[Csar]

Can we take the high road, please, and don't tread on the same path we so much despise?

for you @Csar, I'll shut it down.

But before we turn the page, let it be known Charlie Kirk was shot after answering a question encouraging the correlation between LGBQT+ and mass shootings.

He's an advocate of the second amendment (right to bear arms [guns]).

Here is a clip from 2023 of his views on gun control just a week after a mass shooting in Nashville (Tennessee), which involved schoolchildren:

^Dude was about 28-29 here. He's acting like he's got a full grasp of the world. He's fucking preaching a police state.

That's not even touching all the other evil damage he's spewed.

I feel horrible for his family and the witnesses to this horrific event. Murder isn't the answer. Charlie was young enough to calm his polarizing views, but I'm afraid his head was so far stuck up his own ass, there was absolutely no hope.

You reap what you sow. Sorry, Charlie.

Bosco, it's not that I disagree with you on this person's character etc. and I'd welcome any debate over his hateful views and the apparent terrible irony. But, as you also acknowledge in your second to last paragraph, there's family and people out there who suffer right now.  At the moment, we may be better off not giving in to our cynical impulses, however warranted they might be.

That's very empathetic of you. If only Charlie was on the same page.

Understood, I know where you stand, and your right for trying to keep the peace. But as Wolkenkrabber points out, you're much too kind, even Charlie doesn't believe you should think that way! 

Like I said, I'll drop it. I was just being a little shit by tying in the "protect ya neck" track. If you want to delete all the posts from the page of this thread, you have my blessing and I wouldn't consider it censorship, it wont be missed.

End credits song from last night's Generation V (the Boys spin-off show):

I love this "synthy" interpretation of Simple Mind's Don't You Forget About Me. Would be nice if there was an extended version of this with the drums from the song's ending going on for a bit longer.

Also, this is what the Algorithm brought up after the track above (Youtube nowadays puts everything you search into mix lists  ):

Not too bad either.

Simple Mind's Don't You Forget About Me

Everytime i hear this song i have to think about Life Of Agony's cover which i heard over and over because their 1995 album "Ugly" was one of my favourite albums that year - and when you're 14 and pay plenty of money for a CD (and i pay a couple of bucks more because me needed the tin box edition of it) you hear it over and over...

I still love Life Of Agony's music but in no way i have the same view Keith / Mina / Keith Caputo has about 'certain' things recently, which is a sad thing because i'm not sure anymore if i would go to concert of them again. And damn, their shows kick ass. Last time i saw them was in 2014 while Caputo was Mina and it was a fucking fantastic show. Enough of this topic    this isn't Discussions on difficult subjects

Daniel Avery's new 2025 Essential Mix is worth a listen. First hour = headphone shoegaze, second hour = dark dancefloor. I dig the second hour in particular.

Also Kelly Lee Owens did a 30 minute mix for 6 Music recently. I don't know how hard it is to listen to BBC radio outside the UK now. But it's here for those who can access it (final half hour). She also did an hour for Mixmag Lab a few days ago on YouTube. I don't think it's as consistently good as her (shorter) set for 6 Music, but here it is anyyway.

Over the past few years I've had the pleasure of getting really into Gondwana Records - Matthew Halsall's jazz / electronic / post-rock label based in London. He's got great taste in curating artists and quite a lot of them work in a sort of middle ground between all of the above genres, loads of jazz with dense rhythm sections and a bias towards atmosphere and texture.

The new Chip Wickham is jazz drum and bass in reverse, a live ensemble approaching breakbeat rather than being sampled and cut up into it:

Portico Quartet is a delightfully knotty electronic jazz rock group, absurdly good rhythm and electronic texture sections complimented by live instrumentation, a bit like Radiohead meets Bonobo, if Thom Yorke took up wind and brass:

Two piece Svaneborg Kardyb, one on an esoteric drum kit and the another on a reverbed and delayed Wurli and Juno stack, puts out these lovely live ambient-housey jams that say much with little:

The label boss doesn't sit around either:

Anyone been following this dude's breakdown of the 100 Fabriclive albums?

Deb Grant has played Mount Paloma's Drag while sitting in for Lauren Laverne this morning, and it immediately grabs my attention. Never heard of him (or them?) before.

I struggled to find this post from you because you missed the R on the end of Palomar.
Anyway Deb Grant has played another new one from Mount Palomar, released a week ago. Deffo sounds better on proper speakers/headphones than on tinny laoptop speakers. Underworld-y influence in the synths, perhaps?

Mount Palomar ft. Pip Blom - Little Fractures

Another track released a week ago. On Erol Alkan's Phantasy Label. James Welsh previously popped up in the Chems' Odd Bod Distress mix back in December 2020.
