[Europe --- In or Out]

Lobbyists and Corporate influence.

 

 

Lobbying is a billion-euro industry in Brussels. According to Corporate Europe Observatory, a watchdog campaigning for greater transparency, there are at least 30,000 lobbyists in Brussels, nearly matching the 31,000 staff employed by the European commission and making it second only to Washington in the concentration of those seeking to affect legislation. Lobbyists sign a transparency register run by the parliament and the commission, though it is not mandatory.."

They are doing some sort of spa day in the French office. Massage and a facial could be alright.

The flailing moron was lurking

 

Why are you being so nasty to me?

Our own bias feeds the algorithms that confirm our world views.

The MSM is Facebook

A lot of massive hype everywhere about the TCQ album. You get some massive geezer to jump out his sunroof and suddenly everyone is saying its AOTY

 

I've seen a load of people claim that who haven't even listened to Chance, Kendrick, Danny Brown or even the new De La Soul which got mediocre reviews but seems to be a very similar quality record to me. Great album, a very good return but over hyped for some reason. 

[What are you listening to ?]

I really couldn't get in to that record at all tbh 

 

Their best since Kid A for me. Restored my interest in them which 'wayned' sometime around a decade ago. 

[Happy Birthday Meenz.]

[emoji38] I like to get in before the birthday boy usually. The apology was simply a recognition of my failure in this regard. The rest of it was textbook birthday greeting.

 

Anyway you can fucking shut up about apologies.

 

I managed to catch Gemmill and Rayvin on stage earlier this week.

Speaking of Punk nice feature in The Guardian yesterday on the top 10 Dead Kennedys tunes. No Police Truck, Kill the Poor etc but 10 absolute classic DK tracks. For anyone who doesnt know them, worth checking out.

Got to give it to these lads, they know how to write a song or two. Got to be one of the favourites for AOTY.

 

[Recommend me something to watch!]

Mention of Flava Flav reminded me i found this the other night and ended up watching loads of episodes on Adult Swim.

 

[Politics]

Better than reminding you of Flava Flav I guess

 

Anyone seen the Eric Andre show? Its fucking mental

Extended album version has been my ringtone this year

 

The trumpets that kick in at 2.10 absolutely nail that song. Great energy and then a brass section. Amazing album too.

[emoji38] I'm 41 next month and you're even older. Neither of us need to get a party started.

 

Hence the question mark.

Alternative music is still relevant.

Its good and around 3.45 it becomes great.

Need to get a party started? A modern house version of the Fat Back Band's Bus Stop. On Mister Saturday Night for extra hipster points.

There's always an album which comes out in January which nails it.

This is beautiful
