Really happy Labour have successfully booted out the tories, but the Green Party quadrupling their number of seats is what’s got me punching the air this morning 💚💚💚 #ukpol #ukelection

Would definitely recommend giving Halt and Catch Fire a watch.

I slept on the series when first released, but recently finished watching it. A bit of a slow burn initially, but it really rewards at the end. Some lovely characterisation amongst it all too.

A little surprised it’s not talked up more! https://www.channel4.com/programmes/halt-and-catch-fire

This is a pretty cool recent interview with Kim Thayil on the making of Soundgarden’s Superunknown, and some of those idiosyncratic guitar solos. The way he describes sounds, I do wonder whether there’s some form of synesthesia going on. Very cool nonetheless. https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/soundgarden-kim-thayil-superunknown
“The Black Hole Sun arpeggios were unusual for me – like the right side of a piano, or fairies dancing on a pin... I thought, ‘This is not me’”: Kim Thayil on how Soundgarden persevered through personal and musical frustrations to create Superunknown

Soundgarden's lead guitarist goes deep into the creation of the band's most enduring and successful album – the effects (or lack thereof) of commercial success, the difficulty of nailing down Black Hole Sun, and the fun of creating “insane chaos psychedelia” solos
