"Eurovision Song Contest organisers have updated the competition's regulations for 2027, declaring that any victorious broadcaster will “automatically be ineligible to host” should their nation be involved in an “armed conflict” or a “sensitive geopolitical situation”.

The update follows boycott threats ahead of the 2026 event in Vienna, where several countries, including Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Slovenia, demanded Israel’s exclusion due to the war in Gaza. Those nations ultimately did not participate in the most recent contest in May.

According to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the decision stems from consultations with participating broadcasters and aims to offer increased certainty for performers and production teams."

Listening to the Carter Family always cheers you up – perhaps because it isn’t cheerful at all.
And because it feels as though you’re connected to 1,000 years of music history. Like Hank Williams – somehow magical, without being able to say exactly why.

Es macht mich immer fröhlich, Carter Family zu hören, vielleicht, weil es überhaupt nicht fröhlich ist.
Und weil es sich anfühlt, als wäre man mit 1000 Jahren Musikgeschichte verbunden. Wie Hank Williams, irgendwie magisch, ohne dass man genau sagen könnte warum.

This morning's #workout #music is from Chelsea Wolfe doing a live set in 2018. Don't think I have listened to her stuff for more than a song at a time before. She reminds me of Beth Gibbons if she was the singer for BIG|BRAVE. I can see why she is popular. Could benefit from some more variety in the mood of her songs, but well executed for what she does.

Squarepusher - Kammerkonzert

When I was a little kid, we used to drive up the A12 to see my cousins in Chelmsford. I have three abiding memories of this. We used to drive past the big onion. Now this wasn't a Big Onion like you'd get in Australia, but part of - I think - a cigarette factory. We then went past the Marconi factory (the world's first radio factory, don't you know). My cousins had a big old mangle down the back of their garden, which I found fascinating.

Who could have known that such a dowdy place would spawn Squarepusher?

I've been in the musical doldrums again recently, but this LP has managed to penetrate enough for me to both buy it immediately and play it a fair bit.

It's so good - kind of jazzy, classical-y, sometimes beautifully melodic, but often sitting on the very edge of irritating, loads of frantic clavinet-sounds. All mangled in that classic Squarepusher way.

THE MURDER CAPITAL
When I Have Fears
2019 UK & Ireland pressing

Man, do I love this record.
I can’t believe it’s already 7 years old.

44 SUPER-intense, hard-hitting minutes.
Calling this and lumping it in with other modern #postpunk music seems a bit disrespectful.
Because along with the abrasive guitars, thick bass and pounding drums comes a little more atmosphere, tension and claustrophobia.
No doubt a result of the involvement of the albums producer: the legendary Flood.

A spacious, heavy, and emotional record that still sounds as impactful and exciting seven years on.
Just a truly excellent album.

Start with “Green And Blue”.
If you like that, soldier further.

hello! i'm back to mastodon on a new instance after an extended social media break. looking forward to a fresh start.

i like #flowers #plants #animals #writing #reading #art #music #repair and a bunch of other stuff.

i'm hoping to keep my experience on the lighter side this time around, so i'll be following more selectively than before. i will be checking news, politics, etc., here, but probably not wanting it on my feed.

see you around #bloomscrolling and #caturday!
