Adding to the top of the heap
Really an extraordinary self-own by Apple in failing to read the room with their new iPad advert.
It really makes for depressing/dystopian viewing in light of how many of us are here to celebrate a shared love of cultural artifacts and shared object.
Remember when technology was inspiring?

Children of the Neon Bamboo- must read of this millennium.
I don’t know if you caught this masterful lesson in menswear and takedown of inflated incel Tristan Tate’s ridiculously tight suits the other week on Twitter but it was both informative and beautifully done

The Danny Baker Collection - Two Day Sale skip to page 12 for all the Bowie test pressings…
Free with Kindle Unlimited. I’ve found many books on classical / orchestral music to be over my head but, halfway in, I’m digging it completely.

Fascinating piece about state/organised crime in the Balkans, had no idea about the cigarette trade etc
In 1992 the cigarette manufacturers R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris began sending cargo planes from Switzerland, Cyprus, Ukraine and Russia to Podgorica. Cartons of cigarettes were transported to warehouses in the port of Bar, put in speedboats that reached Italy in under two hours, and then driven north, unstamped and untaxed. (In 2000 the EU filed a civil lawsuit in the US against the two companies, alleging that they ‘facilitated the smuggling of cigarettes illegally’ into the EU. Philip Morris agreed to pay $1.25 billion in an out-of-court settlement in 2004 but did not admit liability; R.J. Reynolds said that the allegations were baseless.)

Here’s something seasoned blogger Jon Freer just posted about ‘spiritual’ house and specifically the mighty Ibadan Records. A label I’ve lost touch with but which ruled my world on the bigger floors early 2000s
