Today's 1st album: Ray Charles, The Genius of Ray Charles. I guess this day is going to just go downhill from here by definition.

Today's 2nd album: Gram Parsons, GP

Today's 3rd album: Fairport Convention, Unhalfbricking. Been a good long time since I've listened to this one.

Today's 4th album: Robbie Fulks, Upland Stories

Today's 5th album: Ed Askew, Ask the Unicorn. Haven't listened to this folkie weirdo in too long.

Today's 6th album: Lydia Loveless, Somewhere Else

Today's 7th album: Neil Young, Freedom. Can't say I listen to this one much, as there is too much filler, but the top 5 or so songs are really great. Always liked "Crime in the City" a lot.

This is also about the time that Neil Young decided the way to make a song better was to make it longer, which has not helped his late career music.
Today's 8th album: Kidd Jordan, Hamid Drake, William Parker, Palm of Soul. I can't find any samples on YouTube but here's a clip of the three of them playing with Dave Burrell.

Today's 9th album: Pavement, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

Today's 10th album: Freddie Hubbard, Straight Life

Today's 11th album: Speedy Ortiz, Twerp Verse

Today's 12th album: Marissa Nadler, For My Crimes. First time listening to this.

Today's 13th album: Anna Burch, Quit the Curse. Another new album for me.

Today's 14th album: Dirtmusic, Bu Bir Ruya. This is pretty interesting.

I imagine the worst part of running for president, regardless of party, is having to pretend you actually like rural Iowa for a year straight.
I'm sure I have now insulted some readers who are from rural Iowa. Don't worry though, I insult all parts of the country, including my own.
But I mean really, how many gigantic pork sandwiches that with meat 13 times the size of the bun can one eat?

This Day in Labor History: January 15, 1915. Ralph Chaplin writes the classic labor song "Solidarity Forever." On the second day of the LA Teachers Strike, it seems like a great time to talk about this song and the IWW culture that created it.
If there was one thing the Industrial Workers of the World understood, it was the value of culture as politics.
The early twentieth century was a period of working-class poetry and song. For my book Empire of Timber, about how loggers used their unions to promote their own environmental agenda, I looked at lots of journals that are full of this sort of thing, whether radical or not.

Political operatives actually get paid for this shit?

"As one operative described it to me, if one were to remove the Latino vote, Nevada would vote more like Ohio"

You don't say! Wow.

cookpolitical.com/analysis/natio…
"If one were to remove the black vote, the United States would vote for Republicans in 27 straight elections." Now pay me lots of money.
It's not even accurate. If you take the Latino vote out of Nevada, it looks like Utah and Idaho, not Ohio.

Starmer: "It's no longer for the govt to judge. It is for parliament, which is a higher authority."

ADVENT - A Christmas Ghost Story from Dec 1 to Dec 24

Dec 1

WTF?
Where’s the chocolate? Just a picture of a dumb bird!
What kind of advent calendar hasn’t got chocolate in it?
Can’t believe I’m stuck here all Xmas in the middle of nowhere while you get to go to Darren’s party!
Sophie slept
In spite of the house
In spite of herself
In spite of the spitting, chattering rain against the thin black ugly window pane
It was strangely soothing
Strangely calming . . .

Until a sharp
Sudden
Angry
CRACK
Smacked her furiously awake!
Dec 2

Hey how you?
Sooooooo tired! Thought I heard a noise last night but no one else heard it so I guess I must’ve dreamed it. Then I couldn’t get back to sleep. This creepy old house is doing my head in!
Btw another lame pic on this stupid calendar today.
Looks like you LOL

Day 7 of the Bates v Post Office High Court trial and I am currently at a deserted Walton-on-Thames station in the middle of what should be rush hour. I have less than 2 hours to get to court. Hmm...
Whilst I am trying to work out how to get to court for the #postofficetrial, please do buy today's @DailyMailUK - on p10 there is a piece about Seema Morra whose husband first got me interested in this story 8 years ago.
Spent the last two hours collecting the car, driving 13 miles from Walton to Wimbledon, parking, and am now on the Milk Float line to Temple after which there will be a short uphill sprint to the Rolls Building. I suspect I will miss an hour of proceedings.

Here’s a story thread of the time I visited the Dark Web and been stalked and harassed ever since.
WARNING, this will be very long and will creep you out so if you do choose to read this be prepared. Will include pictures and videos.
Before I start I just want to say I don’t usually do these kinds of things but everyone has been asking me to share my story and honestly I feel as if I need to talk about it as well.

Today I start my 8-day clockwise drive round the coast of Ireland, from Dublin to Dublin. I’m excited. The schedule has been meticulously planned on tube journeys to & from work for the last 3 months (I am half German) but insider tips on unmissables very welcome. Thank you.
At the glorious 10th century Round Tower at Glendalough in County Wicklow, waiting for John Cleese to poke his head out of the top window to tell me my mother was a hamster & my father smelt of elderberries.
Glendalough in Wicklow is worth today's crazy early flight alone. A wondrous, magical place: dates from the 6th C, with a unique double gateway, tower & Cathedral that was already decommissioned (to use weapons inspectors terminology inappropriately) in the 12th C. #MyIrelandTour

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
