Edinburgh based, into weird music, slowly finding my way back into "explore" mode after a few years ignoring new things.
This is one of the songs I return to when things get tough.
"If there's been a way to build it, there'll be a way to destroy it. Things are not that out of control"
Mantra-like, driving, motorik, unstoppable.
One for you anti-#ICE people this week.

There is a little loch in the Rothiemurchus forest called the Lilly Loch, and this is the time of the year when the waterlilies are out.

(I will probably also post some highlights from the Proper Festival programme at some point, there's some good things there too, but don't expect reviews because I live in #Edinburgh and will therefore be sick of the #festival by the 2nd Monday in August.)
#Edinburgh #Book #Festival, part of the August madness has a few #music related events.
There's a whole "Music Matters" strand: "In this series of events we welcome musicians who have put down their instrument and picked up a pen to record the pleasure and pain of their experiences." https://www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival/whats-on/themes/music-matters-221
Of particular interest, Matthew Herbert has written a novel which, " evokes startling, shifting sonic landscapes such as the sound of insects hitting number plates followed by a drill striking oil beneath the earth’s surface. The result is surprising and unforgettable"

There's also Viv Albertine of the Slits and hip hop originators The Last Poets (possibly the least Book fest-y people to be appearing this year).

Tickets for the Book Festival went on sale on Tuesday and always sell out fast (I am not a salesman for them, this is a fact and also a #humblebrag that this year I got my act together in time.)

" If I was emperor of the world I'd be abdicating in favour of those two."
Now I want Azealia Banks to run for US President against Donald Trump. Who should her running mate be?

I just watched an "Azealia Banks' Bitchiest Moments' video on YouTube and I'm none the wiser as to why she has this rep as "would be more famous if she stayed off twitter".
Am I a nasty, desensitized person for not being bothered by any of it? I see swearies, arguing with people, not backing down and forthright opinions. Did I miss something really bad?
Seems similar situation to MIA. If I was emperor of the world I'd be abdicating in favour of those two.
Going through some of her songs. Some are tending bland but this one! The beat on Yung Rapunxel is *sick*:

Schoenberg String Trio op. 45
(a link, but not the version I have playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2vX8JXfKEc)
I know he has a reputation as difficult but I find these string works pretty listenable -- maybe non-classical heads like myself can relate to the jumps and dischordant passages more than someone brought up in the tradition?

Woody Guthrie - Miss Pavlichenko
American anti-fascist folk musician Woody Guthrie recorded a song in 1946 entitled "Miss Pavlichenko" as a tribute to Russian sniper Ludmila Pavlichenko
Free 8-week writing exercises boot camp in the form of 20-minute podcast episodes that are 10 minutes of talking and ten minutes of writing!
I...kindof want to try this? I don't think of myself as a writer. But still. Nifty.
"An Indigenous opera singer is bringing back his community's traditions and songs...
The classically-trained tenor used wax cylinder recordings of his ancestors singing in the early 1900s, which had been locked away in the national archive for decades.
Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa — translated as "Songs of the River People" — is sung entirely in Wolastoqey, a language fewer than 100 people speak."

PR piece for the #RipItUp exhibition on Scottish pop music, which starts at the National Museum on Saturday 22nd in #Edinburgh.
I'm fair ambivalent about the piece and its fumbling around national character and stereotypes, but still! The Rezillos! Ivor Cutler's #harmonium!
The sound of complications, chopped up
Hello! Do you have any sibilant, dark pop beats that might belong in a drama about sylphlike vampires? Please do tell
Drill rap gang banned from making music without police permission in legal first
"Five members of west London drill group 1011 must obtain authorisation from Scotland Yard before recording or performing tracks and are prohibited from writing lyrics deemed by officers to “encourage violence”.
A wide-ranging criminal behaviour order (CBO) imposed at Kingston Crown Court on Friday also forbids them from referring to their own gang or rivals in their music and requires them to allow police to attend any performances."
