will be slowly dropping all of my music into one thread and pinning it for easy reference as i add some more tracks over the coming weeks / months. apologies if you've heard them before, hope you like them if you haven't.
by the ruins:
time travel is real but the first people who tried it didn't account for the fact that our solar system is nowhere where it used to be, so at best they end up warping in under thousands of feet of rock and at worst floating in space a very long way away
it's now banned
would love to read about whether or not britain is institutionally racist but i've been too busy asking the home office to let me live with my wife for the last decade
Merry Christmas! Thanks to all working today in our vital public services. Delighted to drop off some chocolates this morning to the many working in Kensington to say thank you.
i've had tinnitus since 1996. six to eight different noises, all day long, 24/7. i've had checks. tests. brain scans. nothing worked.
until just now. holy crap
saw someone complaining that they applied for twitter verified organisation status ($1,000), were refused, and they just discovered that you should always read the T&Cs
"No government is going to ruin its own economy."
@AlexanderDowner
says economically developed nations are "prepared to pay" to address climate change, but will not "put people out of work and destroy the structure of their own society".

:
a neighbour is claiming the letter from downing street contains RFID chips which tell ukgov if you're outside too long and i love that this only works on the assumption everyone is just keeping the letter down their pants
almost every game i grew up with, from the age of 5 to 18, is rotting forever along with computers & consoles. 87% of video games released before 2010(!) are gone. huge, important titles have had their source code lost. music licenses expire and audio vanishes. emulation is great
hot on the heels of "COVID-19: Those earning 'above £19.5k' should pay more tax to help fix finances"
maybe we should just tax billionaires and corporations appropriately and everyone saying these things can get in a bin and we roll the bin down a hill and then kick the bin
it's kinda funny that the gag here (euro band switching out a singer at the drop of a hat who isn't as good as the original) is flopping because not enough people are aware that this was an actual thing in the first place. sometimes you can be a little too accurate
someone on the radio comparing brexit to the millenium bug, difference being nothing happened in 2000 because of years of precise planning whereas in 2019 i'll be murdering you with a chair for a tin of beans
very weird spending years watching cops do everything in their power to protect buildings and property at the expense of all else and then today be like lol nah come on in

hi! my family is both english and indian.
you are, in fact, wrong and i have never heard anybody in either nation call it "thighland"
please enjoy the rest of your replies from all around the world wondering what you're on about
absolutely wild that my kid with no pre-existing medical conditions caught regular, non covid-19 coronavirus in may and it was so bad they couldn't breathe unassisted for 3 days and now ukgov is like well i guess they could catch the one that's worse next time, good luck
"The Home Office has said the higher salary threshold is needed so that family members from abroad joining British citizens are not burdening the state" you can't burden the state, people can't access public funds on a spouse visa. i feel like this crucial detail always goes awol
the uk used to remove the citizenship of any british woman marrying a non british man from 1870 to 1933, essentially leaving them stateless so this is all very much on brand for normal island
you have your mum, steve, and uncle jim in a boat less than 2m wide. you must cross the river to work with only one of them at a time. if you leave steve with uncle jim he will eat him 1/2,485
turning narwahl tusk brandishers into typical examples of yer everyday immigrant makes me nervous, because that absolutely shouldn't have to be the benchmark for what people are expected to do to live here as one of the good ones™
apparently boris johnson's being destroyed in the leader's debate, can't wait to see his lead in the polls extend by six thousand percent tomorrow somehow
The British government is to launch a “strategic communications” campaign to deter asylum seekers from crossing the English Channel
Officials are hoping to “dissuade” migrants amid record arrivals in small boats
yeah this 79 page spouse visa renewal form costing us 2 grand so you don't kick my wife, who's one of the top in her field, out of the country is definitely welcoming
get in the bin,

In January I made halving inflation this year my top priority.
I did that because it is, without a doubt, the best way to ease the cost of living and give families financial security.
Today, we have delivered on that pledge.
@sajidjavid
my kid is susceptible to respiratory issues and you're throwing them all back into school with no plan whatsoever in september, but yeah, "cowering"
you're giving your time as a terrible home secretary a run for its money as a terrible health secretary, congrats
Boris Johnson was not born in the UK. If he's proven to have broken the law, then by his own standards he should strip himself of his British citizenship and have himself deported.
you've literally been told someone's spouse will be deported because you won't give them a piece of paper. in what version of reality is this anything but astoundingly embarrassing for your entire organisation?

after 3 prime ministers, 4 home secretaries, brexit, fee hikes, multiple rule changes, and zero help during the pandemic our indefinite leave to remain decision has come through and
my favourite skyrim anniversary edition bug so far: one of the new additions is a farm you can use as a home but if you go inside with lydia, the sound from the fireplace transfers to her and then she's doomed to spend the rest of the game sounding like a fireplace
i had to fly back to the uk 2 days after our wedding so my wife could apply for her visa and we still haven't had our honeymoon 6+ years later thanks to people like george. what do i get for him doing that to our wedding ian
Oh no. I'm going to go all whiny centrist dad. But I can't help it. This is just a horrible thing to do on someone's wedding. Just maybe leave them the fuck alone.
feel sorry for theresa may? one of the finest things in life is sitting around wondering just how miserable she is. i love it. every second she's sad adds 10 years to my life, i'm functionally immortal at this point
somewhere in the coca-cola office an analytics person is desperately trying to figure out what could have caused six hundred thousand references overnight to milk coke
