Time to break the radio silence and happily announce some new tunes we have to share.
"Losgaintir/You are Where You Need to Be" is a two-part psychedelic journey inspired by a trip to the Scottish Western Isles.
RSVP to our listening party below

Two ladies doorstepped in an Edinburgh shop by Sky News and asked for their views on the Sunak v Starmer head-to-head. You really need to watch this. Brilliant. Share this folks.

Good & bad news for those who want to cancel me for my opposition to Israel's Apartheid/Occupation: The good news is that I was cancelled in Vienna where, on Monday, I was to deliver the 2023 Otto Wagner 2023 Lecture, organised by IKA Institute for Art and Architecture (even though I had no intention to refer to the situation in Israel/Gaza). e-flux.com/announcements/560… The bad news, for you good people who want me cancelled, is that the organisers lacked the guts to admit that they were terrified of hosting me because of my opposition to Israel's Apartheid/Occupation. They suggested that we all pretend the lecture was postponed until my new book is out in German. When I refused to participate in that lie, they cited "the current dramatically escalating, geopolitical situation"! The gist of it? Civilised Middle Europe recoils in horror when faced with a principled opposition to Israel's Apartheid. And then, immediately afterwards, covers up its cowardice in lies.

Dear Journalists,
Context is necessary when covering events unfolding in Palestine. Palestinians in Gaza have been subjected to a siege for 15 years. Palestinians in the West Bank are under military occupation and apartheid. Palestinians in Jerusalem are being ethnically cleansed

The Kama Sutra Wikipedia articles gets way more views than that of any other premodern text, way more than even the Bible and Quran

At least 750,000 Palestinians were forced out of their homes during the creation of the state of Israel. During the Nakba, an entire generation became refugees.
And the forced expulsions continue to this day.
This is where the Palestinian refugees ended up.

Actually, Israel is one of the few countries in the world engaged in a belligerent long-term military occupation and mass violent oppression of a civilian population that then tries to portray itself as a victim defending itself.
Is Russia defending itself by occupying Ukraine?

Benjamin Netanyahu operates a brutal regime of apartheid over the Palestinian people.
Instead of rolling out the red carpet, Rishi Sunak should confront the Israeli PM over human rights abuses, ban the trade of illegal settlement goods, and call for justice, equality & peace.

Have you ever wondered how much of Copenhagen could fit in your local supermarket's parking lot? I hadn't until @pushtheneedle suggested it. Then I had to know (a thread in 4 parts).

In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution.
Now they are models of sustainable urban planning.
Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars.

‘In 1996, the average fee for a support band was £50 - and it still is … if you’re 25 you’ll earn more working in a supermarket than most musicians do. It’s a reflection of society. You’re either the superstar or you’re scraping away.’ theguardian.com/music/2023/m…

I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.

From the second @NickyDevlin6 was made aware of Layton coming along as mascot and the fact that he’d be wearing ear defenders, he was incredibly keen to do the same to help Layton feel as welcome and included as he could.
A touch of class. A leader. Our club captain 👏🏻💛
