Shameless Plug Dept - new blog from me
 
Yup, new blog from me is on the go now, inc. an article I posted up this morning: http://mellysingsdoom.blogspot.co.uk/

Any links recommends for me to add to the page would be very much welcomed - will add some Adam C links later on today, when I get round to it.

Great blog

Watched the hunted doc.

"Russia really ought to be taken to task in a big way on an international level on their rampant homophobia. Mind you, with the EU contributing fuck all to challenging Russia on this and other human rights abuses, and the UK in particular being utterly craven and spineless, I'm not going to hold my breath on that one...."

This is where the sports and entertainment industries can really play a role, the same way they did in S'th Africa during the apartheid era. Black footballers are already hinting at boycotting the 2018 World Cup and I hope they do, followed by every other player, in solidarity. I'm assuming we'll have had our first openly gay footballer by then, so that'll add another dimension to a cross-the-board boycott.

The music and film industry should simply stop touring and licensing its products there. Harsh on the victims but no more than it was on those suffering under apartheid.

Many thanks for the comments senor demon, and yes, your take on the sports/entertainment thing is one I definitely concur with.

PS Next time I inflict my Dj-ing in London, I'll let you know, so you can come along and have a good laugh at my inept "skills" :D

pick good records, cross-fade on the fade-out, and you'll be better than 90% of who's out there. supress the need to get jiggy - until you've had some practice.

Music, theater, anti-fascism. What's not to love?

More blog waffle from yours truly - a new post up on a viewing session by me at the BFI Mediatheque in the South Bank, London.

Upcoming too - some film business, and also a post or two about some obscure, unknown band called Napalm Death (who they exactly?)

MellySingsDoom 02.25.2014 08:27 AM

More blogging business - this time, it's blog recommends (and an RIP tribute of sorts to Marty Thau) - http://mellysingsdoom.blogspot.co.uk...ommends-1.html

MellySingsDoom 04.21.2014 12:07 PM

Thread bump! More BFI Mediatheque business (with more of this to come soon as well): http://mellysingsdoom.blogspot.co.uk...e-notes-2.html
