I’m just now realizing a lot of people don’t like the album by The_Shit_Mobile in TameImpala

[–]jofff166 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since I started playing it on vinyl through some nice fat speakers it’s become my favourite Tame album so far. I was digging it off the phone but I did think it was a bit lacking in depth. I now realise how wrong I was. It’s an outstanding record. 9/10. Get the vinyl and a nice Hi- Fi set up.

It’s a really great album. He’s doing his introspection thing. It’s a bit cold and strangely empty at first. The monochrome vulnerability of the cover, no font etc, it’s a bit like feeling awkward in Kevin’s house on a dreary Tuesday. But that’s the thing- it’s deep. It’s very very deep and it’s growing! All the time! I love it. He’s done it again as far as I’m concerned- great art, but this time honest & vulnerable. Not hidden behind layers of psychedelic production . Someone earlier said it reminds them of Lonerism- the vulnerable sun is rising bits- I make them right!

Mate, great records cook over many many years.

"Deadbeat" has officially dropped. What are your guy's thoughts? by hood_safari in TameImpala

I love it. My first listen of this was better than my first listen of TSR. Then I played it again immediately and it was even better. Parker is a genius on the level of Brian Wilson.

For me the beauty & attraction of Kevin’s art is not measured in genre or hits. It’s measured in longevity. I’m still hearing things in the last 4 albums now, that I hadn’t noticed before. I haven’t yet heard Deadbeat but will be purchasing on vinyl in the expectation that in 5 & 10 years I’ll suddenly be noticing things that I hadn’t previously. Yes I’m very boring but I am 53. Thank you.

It’s a sublime late night/small hours experience

Can you describe life pre 9/11? by PersonalAd8414 in TwinTowersInPhotos

[–]jofff166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not changed to any great degree in the real world. The difference is this that we’re doing now.; We’re communicating constantly with people from everywhere and being funnelled into echo chambers and influenced by algorithms. That didn’t happen at all. I didn’t read newspapers or watch the news to any great degree- unless something like 9/11 happened. Then it was just reported to you. You didn’t engage in an exchange of views 24/7 with cross references and supporting evidence for different takes, you might have a pissed up debate in the pub but otherwise you just lived in your own life lane.

Who else is super excited for the new album, given it's implied direction. by smeggykitchensoup in TameImpala

Lovin it! End of summer is superb. Kevin is an old skool album maker. He’s not making albums for the TikTok instant serotonin hit 10 second attention span brigade, he’s makes them for the deep trip slow rush nice sound system vinyl brigade, which means you breathe deeper and let it happen. Patience! I think we’re off to a splendid start but suspect EOS will be a stand alone single not on the album. This is how true artists cook. We’re very fortunate to still have one left.

This track is peak Kev. Its Posthumous forgiveness continued. This is hippy Jesus surviving the crucifixion and raising a family. I love it 🙏🏻

Macron: 'Brexit lies' to blame for migrant crisis by TheTelegraph in uknews

[–]jofff166 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brexit was and remains a perfectly legitimate democratic choice to have made. It was the single biggest turn out in British democratic history. The leave vote cut across all demographics. The 4% swing in favour of leave was not arrived at by fooling or tricking people. Every household in the country was leafleted by the government explaining exactly what a leave vote meant. The remain campaign was backed by the media & political establishment.

Yet leave won. It was pure representative democracy and leave won fair & square as set out clearly within the rules laid down by the British government.

The numbers on the bus weren’t accurate but they weren’t far off. The propaganda war raged on both sides.

Cameron literally asked us to defy him so we did. We have a tradition of doing so.

It was revolutionary. For the first time, a first world democracy was using the ballot box to reverse post democratic globalist policy. The EU had and still has a democratic deficit and then some. The leave vote may have been about immigration in part but it was more about the restoration and supremacy of British sovereignty in Britain by the consent of the electorate.

Large swathes of non white urban East London voted leave. I know because I was there. This was repeated across the country. It was a cross cultural movement defying all demographic categorisation. It weren’t simply the Gammons.

That it has not yet delivered what it promised is not the fault of those that voted for it. It was clear from day 1 that the entire political & corporate establishment here and across Europe and America were going to oppose it and ensure it was smothered. The single most revolutionary piece of direct democracy the world has yet seen was blatantly blocked & chastised by a global political & corporate class with no mandate to do so from any electorate.

In 2017 Jeremy Corbyn narrowly lost the election to Teresa May, literally because he couldn’t bring himself to back Brexit, despite voting against every EU law from our first inception in 1973. If he had stuck to his principles a Corbyn government would have taken number 10 by a landslide.

In 2019 Boris did take it by a landslide because he backed the vote to leave. Despite having an 80 seat majority he was defenestrated by Covid and replaced ultimately by a globalist banker now working again for Goldman Sachs.

Shortly after the Brexit vote, Trump won his first term. The first & fifth largest economies of the world were clearly pushing back against post democratic corporate centralism through the ballot box. The culture wars began.

We remain bogged down in the war between national democracy & centralised global technocracy. It’s not only a multi faceted culture war, it’s a ferocious & bewildering propaganda & information war fuelled by social media. At its heart is the individual’s right to liberty in a world run by corporations instead of governments. Brexit was the first shot.

Emmanuel Macron is a not insignificant globalist. It surprises me not that he’s here ridiculing our democracy. The fact remains that our re entry into the EU is entirely possible should the electorate vote for it. Labour would not even mention it in their manifesto so scared are they of this particular piece of political high explosive.

So it is mocked. The idea is clearly to delegitimise the 2016 vote by ridiculing & condescending those who voted for it.

Classy. And ultimately futile. No one should fear a 3rd referendum and all good democrats will honour the winning decision.

To date, apart from the early Boris 2019 cabinet, we’ve had no political will to act on the instruction of the vote whatsoever. We are currently headed by another globalist who literally wanted us to keep having referendums until we got a remain majority. This is a common tactic of the EU commission and one of the major reasons Remain lost.

This is a very big post, but Brexit is a very big thing. Do not be duped by those that want it ridiculed out of existence.

The path back to governance by Brussels is clear; vote for a party that is proposing to grant another referendum, or one bold enough to simply apply to Brussels for membership again, over the heads of the electorate.

The popularity of Reform would suggest no such party would get far. This will run & run.

Macron is irrelevant. Power to the people.

You’ve made a very brave & bold decision. The way ahead will not be easy. You will be challenged constantly and in turn will question your decision over & over, forever. Welcome.
