    Feelings > Facts

    John Oliver on form again, I do think Trump will win it unless Hillary gets her shit together, which given her VP choice and complete Dynastic arrogance, very unlikely. Negative ‘Not That Guy’ campaigns never usually win, neither does lecturing your own party members about protest votes and ignoring DNC rigging…politically that kind of campaign…

    Jon Stewart on Trump hypocrisy

    Jon Stewart appeared under the desk on Colbert, and his response to the Republican National Convention and the selection of Trump was his fiery best, especially 11 minutes in: “You just want that person to give you your country back.

    Russian Electronics – ANS

    A random comment about KLF’s Space using some music from Solaris lead me to this, Musical Offering which is an album of Russian electronica circa 1971. Created on a machine called the ANS (Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin) synthesiser created by Evgeny Murzin, a photo-electric machine but sounds way before it’s time (apparently created between 1937 and…
